It's in the same position as always...just renamed to 10,11.Your dish possibly could have moved slightly or some of your settings could have changed.I would check the settings first.

thanks clearview, i though that was right, but i can't get but 15 channels. i checked my settings seem to be ok. when i changed tp i got a better signal but it changed echo 5 up at the top of the screen. i also disconnected my 119 cable to help try to get a better signal but no luck. any suggestions?

also make sure dish arm is level/plumb and try this place pick your dish kind and pick your area you live and it will give you elevation dish skew if needed and general pointing direction
