Moderate Signal – 40-64 and 4.0 – 6.4 ECB If you are seeing a signal reading of 40-64, you may be able to bring in some programming, but will likely see intermittent issues with channels dropping in and out during light weather, or simply not coming in at all.

Short answer, no.

Shaw Direct is relayed via FSS satellites, Anik G1 and F2.

This problem is typically caused by a misconfigured Program Guide or receiver errors. It can also be caused by programming disputes. For more information and to see if you are currently affected, please visit dishpromise.com.

If you’ve got no signal strength try the following steps:

1. Switch the Sky + HD box and TV to standby.
2. Wait a few minutes and then switch off all connected items and unplug them from the mains.
3. Disconnect and then reconnect the cables from the satellite to Dish Input 1 and Dish Input 2 at the back of your box.

Press the point dish option for system setup and then click on installation. Now Press point dish again and the menu will appear. Move the highlighter to the ‘satellite’ box option and change the satellite number to 119. Move the transponder to the number 11 and let the signal strength update itself accordingly.

Here are some tips for boosting a digital TV signal:

1. Move the antenna to new location or height, if you’re using an indoor antenna.
2. Re-aim the antenna, if you’re using an outdoor antenna.
3. Watch the signal strength meter on the digital-to-analog converter box or television as you move or aim the antenna.

Unplug the power cord of your DISH receiver (typically has a red tag) from the electrical outlet for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. If you have a Hopper & Joey system, unplug the power cord of the Hopper (the main, large receiver). The reset process may take up to 5 minutes to complete.

Satellites contain, unsurprisingly, extremely expensive pieces of hardware, costing many millions of dollars to build and millions more to launch into space. Because of this, it makes the whole business of satellite Internet extremely expensive. This is what makes Satellite Internet bandwidth so expensive.

DISH Network launched EchoStar V from Florida in September 1999. Manufactured by Space Systems Loral, it is one of the companies’ main satellites, with an orbital position of 119 degrees WL and a coverage area that consist of the Continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

DirecTV and Dish do have satellites in the same orbital locations, 110′ and 119′ (1), but they are NOT the same satellite.
