Ping: The Donald (D.Duck)
Since you asked (and for anyone else interested) ....
I am on the boat and just finished setting up the DirecTV. Works fine! The dish is presently just sitting on the upper station deck. It took me about 3 minutes to find and optimize the signal strength. I am actually getting a stronger signal here than I did on my house dish. Several of the transponders are at 100 percent, the rest between 85 and 95 percent. There's a light breeze and the boat is moving around a little bit. The bow swings around by about 2 or 2-1/2 feet Maybe even more. The stern moves back and forth by a little over a foot. Been over an hour now and there have been zero freezes or signal drop-out. Not bad. The whole setup was under 200 bucks. (not counting the DirecTV monthly service charge). Eisboch |
