    Dish 1000.2 shows 129 as 119?

    A whopping big THANK YOU to VegasSatellite!! I got my compass, cut a piece of wood at angle, got on the roof and picked out some trees that might be a problem. Several small and medium red oaks, a black walnut, then one each of a huge white oak, hickory and cherry tree -- I fell a few at a...

    Dish 1000.2 shows 129 as 119?

    Thanks Ben, but it is the modified signal screen, so from what I've read that oughta be pretty decent.

    Dish 1000.2 shows 129 as 119?

    Oh, OK, so that explains the slight difference between the two receivers. No, I didn't get any switch errors at my parents house with my receiver (3-prong power cord). Also, I did bring their receiver home (two-prong) and that is the one that once I powered it up it went to acquiring satellite...

    Dish 1000.2 shows 129 as 119?

    I checked and the software is P349. I usually turn the receiver off at night, but turned it off for over an hour after doing the software version check. Turned it back on and still has the same software. When going into other screens from the MENU-MENU clicking, it says it has a good...

    Dish 1000.2 shows 129 as 119?

    QUESTION - When you do a check switch, does it do any kind of diagnostic to verify the switch is working as it should? Or does it just verify there is one there and what model it is? The reason I ask is because I tried something new: I swapped my receiver with a similar one my parents have...

    Dish 1000.2 shows 129 as 119?

    RandallA, thx for the suggestion. I cleared the switch matrix as you and vegassatellite suggested, but when I run the check switch again after clearing it still just sees 119 and 110. And yes, just RG6 straight from dish to receiver. vegassatellite: I have rebooted the receiver several...

    Dish 1000.2 shows 129 as 119?

    Other than elevation, which I have as a slight bit higher, yes, that is correct. My SuperDish elev was also slightly higher than they called for in installation instructions. I did peak on 119; I also then verified signal for 110 and peaked it so that it did not affect 119 strength. I then ran...

    Dish 1000.2 shows 129 as 119?

    Sorry I didn't go in to ALL the details I have been thru; I was trying to keep it short. I was already thru the scenario you mentioned - having 119 on the 129 LNB (which a check switch in this case shows the sats out of order -- at least according to another post I read) - so I moved to the...

    Dish 1000.2 shows 129 as 119?

    I have been trying to get this Dish 1000.2 pointed for what seems like forever. I have finally gotten 110 and 119 in with a fairly strong signal (using a 311 receiver). I am confident the mast is plumb but when I do a check switch it only shows 119, 110, Conn. When I go to the signal strength...
