Satellite signals can be blocked or degraded by buildings and trees.
Make sure there are no obstructions in a northerly direction, maybe move van slightly.

parameters so changing the satellite will force the unit to search different parameters.

D. Terrestrial antenna (Also known as local antenna)
We recommend that you retain your local antenna as there will be some locations where
there are trees blocking the satellite signal and there is no clear view of the sky but there is
adequate terrestrial TV signal available.
