[QUOTE="erik1, post: 42506, member: 179337"] Thanks. Yea, it was very tricky getting the dish and LNBs set up to recieve the 2 SATs at once, but so far it seems to work ok. At first I had some pictures freezing, but now that seems to have stopped. I have a Samsung 9500 that shows channel reception in "Yellow" bars and "White" bars. The "Yellow" bars (Signal Strength?) read at about 50% but the "White" bars (Signal Quality?) read only 1 or 2 bars (about 5-10%) during partly-cloudy weather. However, like I said, the picture is clear on all channels. I'm waiting for some rain and fog to see how the picture quality is then. One follow up question: [b]DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS THE MINIMUM SIGNAL STRENGTH/QUALITY NEEDED TO VIEW A CHANNEL IS??[/b] Anyway, I suppose the set-up I have just barely works and wouldn't reccomend going for 2 SATs that are only 3° apart, but it does work for me non-the-less and I'm happy for that :). I originally wanted to go for Thor and Sirius (6° apart) but couldn't get Sirius due to obsticals :( Amos doesn't have much, but at least a few Russian/Ukrainian channels.... [/QUOTE]
