Had to enter the tp it did come in, signal is unstable, 91 signal 66 down to 0 quality, best signal i can get. that is with bumping the dish, 8ft fiberglass. Hallmark channels :?:

Finally got it stable . my actuator is 12 v off a wheel chair lift on the 8 ft dish, 12v battery mounted under the dish with 2 relays for east n west , 150 foot of control cable to house with a 2 position spring loaded to center toggle switch. Poor people have poor ways. :) :mrgreen:

This is VERY low power TP. you need to be at midwest or west coast to have a decent signal with 8 footer up. On East coast you need to have a 10/12 footer or for 8 footer expect fading

Your problem is the sun and the time of the year, you will get this on a 7.5 dish, the 10 and 12 footers don't seem to have this problem with the sun.
You can make it better with some good flat black paint, or what I used was black truck spray bed liner, you can find it at Napa auto parts.

Paint it flat black or flat gray, if it has any shine it will reflect sun light into the LNB and kill Q.
