Re: [Satellite] DishNetwork... UHF reception

I've used VHF/UHF antennas before. A friend has a 5k+ square foot home and needed the extra boost. A cheap $25 dollar dual band antenna did the trick. Key is hiding it behind the entertainment center.
Also did you try and change the remote channels? I find the usual channel 1-10 are crappy. Try 10-25 A and B bands, my friends home the B band works better.

I did do that - I had an antenna that has a broken ear that I used. It is better but it is still really odd that sometimes the only way I can change a channel is to point the remote the opposite of the direction of the receiver. It can still be frustrating finding the right direction and plane to have the remote to have it work.

What direction is the UHF antenna pointed ? Not sure if it really makes a difference, but "up" would seem the most logical.
Correct - it is pointed up. Seems to work best that way.
