C3 weak

[Guest]

Is anyone else having trouble with C3? I can get G0, G5, G9, G1, C4, etc.,
all fine, but C3 I can't seem to tune in. I can get some of the analog
signals with some static, but if I tune to a digital signal, I either get
nothing or a pixelated picture.

No problems here in Ontario -even with 7.5 ft dish and Cal. amp 30!

I'm in Texas. I'm not sure why I can't get C3 if I can get the satellites
on either side of it.

IG you don't any obstructions,then check your receiver parameters to see if
the skew and/or dish position are set incorectly.

Part of the problem may be side lobe interference. AMC 11 was launched
about a week ago to replace C3. Possibly when it replaces C3 you will
have better luck with those channels.

If that's true wouldn't everybody have that problem though?

Smaller dishes would be effected more than larger dishes and dishes
that are not highly tuned to the arc could have problems no matter
what size they are.

Clarification:

I *can* get C3 after all, I can get TLC and History with a strong signal
of 78. However, if I try to get 101, 102, or 103, which are the Showtime
channels, I get nothing. I'm also not seeing CSPAN anymore, is it still
there?

How old is your LNB?

Nevermind, it turned out that the "AutoSkew" function fixed it.

I have no problems with a 7.5' solid hydro dish, nor with a 10'
fiberglass dish.

Tune up your BUD, cause most likely, your dealer didn't.
