What size dish. You probably need a 30inch or bigger...

Try with a six footer!

 

[all4jo]

im using a 6 footer. i just keep getting 77w satellite. i can peak 77 west sat, and then slowly move to the left , and i dont ever get anything.
im also using a dpp33 switch and im using dp lnbs.

why bother? are you getting the same as 110 and 119?

 

[all4jo]

well i was trying to get rid of one dish. if 72.7 sat had hd and the core programming, i could get rid of the 61.5 sat.

Should find it straight south of you - 180 True South and higher elevation than 77.

does it matter what port on the dpp33 i should be connected? ived been using port 1.

Are you using a signal meter to align?

 

[all4jo]

yeah im using a ACCUTRAC meter.

Don't forget that after you pick up the signal with your meter, you need to do a checkswitch to recognize that you have a new satellite on your switch.

Also you will need the new n3 gen card in order to get programming.

Core HD programming is staying on 61.5.

well i just finally found it and my signal is bad. the highest im getting is 20 on one transponder while the rest are at 12. and this is using a 6 ft dish. i may try tmmrw with my 6f t prodelin. hopefully ill get better signal with it.

No you will not,Sadly the 72.7 SAt coverage in this area is really bad even with a 6 footer.

So go get a 10 footer
