Ok,
I consider myself fairly technical Savy. But I am frustated. I am trying to get Sky Angel setup and not having any luck. Here is the scenario.
1. Wen to RadioShack and bought a Dual Reciever Dish Package. It came with a Dish 500 and Two basic Revievers DP311T.
2. I dug a hole and buried a 4x4 post 4' into the ground with Cement, made sure it was Plumb and attached the Dish.
3. I connected the RG6 cable to one of the LNB's on the Dish 500 (the one labeled 119 which is on the left as you look from the back of the dish.)
4. I connected it to the reciever and hooked up a TV.
5. Going through the setup on the reciever I selected the 61.5 Sat. I checked my angles. It tells me N/A - It says I need to select the 110, or 119 sat to get angles. So I went to Sky Angels site. I entered My ZIP which is 54601. It tells me AZ 140 and Horizon 31.
6. I point my dish in that direction (SE 140 on my compas) and set the angle for 31. The Skew is set at 90 (default). No signal to be found. I have a wide open view of the southern sky. I move it around, nothing. I turn it SW and I can get SAT 119 with a Signal of 107. But I can get no signal from 61.5
7. I called Sky Angel and they said my settings should be Az 139, Horizon 31 and Skew 90. I tried those and still no signal.
As I said I can get a great signal from Sat 119, but nothing from 61.5. Any ideas. Is there a problem using the Dish 500 to do this??? Does it matter what Transponder is set on the Receiver?
Help!!!
