Is anyone powering Mikrotiks on Solar? What do you use to keep your
solar boost voltage from forcing a shutdown on the Mikrotik? I've

TV over wireless is a non-starter. Even if you used MPEG4 which is really for
video you still can only get 2-3 channels.
A low-cost solution would be to set up something like a HULU server where the
video is compressed enough that the wireless can handle it.

My little home one gives me about a 30' range of boosted signal, but I'm

I'd change the LMR jumper and/or feedhorn. There's a strong chance there
is water in the jumper and changing it might fix it. There's also a
chance that the feedhorn has failed. If you end up changing the
feedhorn, consider putting a radome on the dish to protect the feedhorn
from weather.
Aligned and re-aligned. I suppose there is a possibility I am catching
side lobes. We climbed to realign back in the spring when we had some 70
mph gusts move things. Could not get any better than -85.

If weather is changing signal quality, then it points to a connection

CM9's are pretty reliable, but when they have failed for me it is

The receive signal will drop about 10db.
