I installed my *Choice satellite and receiver today. The process took about six hours! It took forever to locate the satellite but using a monitor and the receiver on the back of my truck I eventually got the signal. My signal strength locked in at 86. I called TVM to activate programming but they were not answering. Does anyone know when it's best to call them?
My problem is I cannot get channels 278-298 to showup on my guide. When I hit one of those channel numbers it automatically goes back to 299. I reside in Lubbock, Texas and used Mike Kohl's coordinates of 49.5 EL, 196.3 AZ, and 104 for SKEW (111.1 Dual Satellite). Will those channels show up once my broker activates my receiver or do I need to do something else to get those channels? I have a HD tv and purchased the 505 receiver with 75cm dish. Also, do I use just one of the ports on the LNB and just plug the others? I have single receiver and run it on one TV. Thanks guys for your assistance with my questions. All feedback is greatly appreciated.
The system worked after activation! No problems except my clock (24 hour clock) and guide are off (no data for hd channels and settings are for east coast need central settings).
