ok, guys thanks for all ya's help, i am going try to fix it as soon as it warms up, i think my biggest problem is that i mounted it an overhang on an old house and it moves way to much. so i am going mount it to the roof and try again. hopefully just moving it a bit and tweaking it will fix it.

ok, ladies and gentlemen, i need help. i have a dish 500 with a dp lnb, it is mounted on the over hang of a house. i have a good clean signal of 89 to 119 but can't dial into the 110 dish. what am i doing wrong. i live in tn, the skew is 122, elevation is 38 and azimuth is 222. i had to put...

how can i point the dish when the box want read the switch so i can adjust it, shouldn't i be able to do a check switch without the dish pointed at the satellite.

thanks sir, but i don't have anything hooked to it but the back of the reciever, nothing on the sat in. it's funny how all three can be bad, but i guess that is what you get when you buy for fleaby.

i am having trouble with 3 dish 500 DP lnb. i can't get any of them to work. can the switches be checked without the lnb mounted to the dish on this type. here is what my screen on my tv looks like when i do a check switch. all three do the same thing. i hope someone can help me. rodney
