Below is a squinter. Do you have one of these for your Dish? Also what kind of Satellite Router do you have or whats the numbers on the front of the router ie HN9500, HN9000 etc ??

This is really not hard and something I can help you with over the phone or on the internet, but it might behoove you to make some purchases if you do not have stuff to service your system your self.. I do not think this stuff is that expensive.. It looks like it would be between 100- 150.00 for this stuff.. Or you could have someone watch your signal strength screen and go to your dish and use the fine tune adjustments and slowly adjust for a higher SQL value. Start by just putting a little presure on each side of the dish one side at a time to figure out which way you want to go and then slowly adjust and then repeat with the pressure... I rarley even use the tools (DAPT, Squinter).. Like Buffalobo stated there is a few how tos on the internet as well..
I do not have the DAPT or the squinter. I'm plowing through page after page of the online troubleshooting stuff. Everything seems to work fine now. I can't seem to find a signal strength screen though. I just get "you have good access to the internet" after a diagnostic tool works.

I have cancelled the work order for the $125 visit and told them that I was going to explore other services because I though the charge was excessive. They just said "OK".

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys.
