Should hook directly to the batteries, and convert dc to dc at 20v.

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
in a spot with a very weak cell signal even on the roof, and mine is
hooked up with 50' of 50ohm lmr400 instead of 75 ohm cable like
specified, as I already had it running between my roof and basement and
it took 2 minutes
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. It's
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.

Yeah...I agree, weather attenuation really only occurs at 10GHz and up.
If weather is changing signal quality, then it points to a connection
that is no longer weather tight.

CM9's are pretty reliable, but when they have failed for me it is
usually with the receive going out.
The receive signal will drop about 10db.

It could be either tower that has the problem.
