Signal issues using Coolsat 5000

[Scion_xB]

Ok guys - i have an issue that might be due to a distraction (trees etc) but only on 1 lnb (is that possible?) 1 lnb has great signal & 1 is bad - my whole system was working perfectly before spring bloomed leaves on trees!

i have a coolsat 5000
i have a dish500 dual lnb (110 and 119)
my 119 works great (signal strength and signal quality is 97%)
about 90% of my channels on my 110 does not work - pixelation and on some channels it says Bad or No Signal
in my Menu - Signal Strength says 97% but Signal quality is only 65% (what does that mean?)
i have not used the recent Autoroll bin file (i manually programmed it before the bin was available)

if i restore my receiver and install bin 143 - should i do an autoscan or blind scan? whats the difference?

I found my problem! Almost anything, except for some glass and plastic, will block the signal. Keep in mind that the signal from the satellite to your dish comes toward the dish in the upper half at an angle. In other words, do not sight to the center of the dish to determine no problems. Check your dish pointing screens to determine your angle. My installer suggested to a look at the object (usually a tree) in front of the dish. If it fell, could it hit the dish. If the answer is yes, that object is probably your problem. If no, then this is not your problem.

I am using the Silver Sensor and it works amazingly. It added about 15-20 HD channels to my DTV. I know you are looking at another product but this thing was only like 20 bucks. Toshiba used to make it but I am fairly sure it has been bought out. Just google "Silver Sensor" (and perhaps Toshiba(SP)).

Silver sensor for a Coolsat FTA reciever?
