Hi,
Again I thank you for your response.
Nothing has really changed with the receivers. Methinks it's time to call
the service guy and have him come out and adjust the dish. It's been a long
time since anything has been done to it. He can look at all the settings
and connections with the receivers at the same time.
I do really appreciate all your input!
