Playmaker and Wally

[frlzero]

We camp in the same spot every year, but this year I'm having trouble getting my Playmaker to find a decent signal. In previous years we have had trouble getting 119 due to trees, on our tripod mounted dish and the portable, 110 and 129 would come in with a good signal.
This time I put out the portable, in the same spot, and all I'm getting is 119 at around 20 or so, with the bar just barely changing from yellow to green.
Any thoughts?

You'll need to find 110 as 129 is no longer broadcasting any signals as Dish decommissioned it. So all channels are moved to 110 and 119.

Problem is, I have always had 110 with the tripod and Playmaker, but the portable is not finding 110.

You may have to reset your Playmaker.

Is the coax a straight connection to the Wally, or is it running through the RV internal wiring? If so...run the coax straight to the receiver. And/or swap out to a new coax.
