Which Arc

[greglwood]

How can i tell which arc my dish is? Or is there a way to lookup which i should have based on location?

You can tell this by pressing Menu 6-1-3( on non Hopper/922 receivers). If you have 119, 110, 129 you will be on Western Arc. If you have 61.5, 72.2, 77 you are on Eastern Arc.

If you have a Hopper/922 it would be Menu-Settings-Diagnostics-System Info.

If you don't already have DISH, try here: EKB: Dish HD Locals

Or you can tell by looking at the dish. Western Arc has three equally (or close) spaced LNB heads. Eastern Arc has two together and one further spaced.

I don't think it is safe to assume that the OP already has DISH.

Agreed... another option just in case.

Out of curiousity, why do you want/need to know this?

He/she asked "which arc my dish is". Pretty sure that indicates they already have Dish.


Easy check, depending on the receiver of course, is to simply hit "Info" on the remote two times. It will tell what satellite the channel being watched is coming from.
