Satellite Dish Calibration Service
Have you ever experienced "rain fade", or a loss of signal from your satellite system during a storm? Most satellite dishes are installed in a big hurry. As soon as the installer gets a picture, they are off to the next job. Most installations I find are done in a very sloppy fashion. This can cause all kinds of problems, including a weak signal that is more susceptible to rain fade. I can fix most installation problems and correctly align and peak your dish to make it less susceptible to rain fade. Other problems I frequently see are incorrect grounding of the dish and coax, which can cause hum bars on your video display, and serious safety problems in the event of a lightning strike. I use a digital protractor accurate to 3 arc minutes, and a dual meter signal strength instrument to correctly and accurately align today's double and triple LNB satellite dishes. I inspect all grounding for compliance with the National Electrical Code, and locate/correct ground loops. This is absolutely critical if you want to receive High Definition Television signals from satellite.
We can also work on the older, larger C-Band and Ku/Ka band dishes. Give us a call if you are having problems with your BUD!
