I used ""the list" to help me determine if my local HD channels will be on eastern or western arc as I travel in my RV. I know it's won't be current but it will be a starting point.

The last time i checked the winegard SK1000 does not support the eastern arc satellites. You can manually lock the 61.5 sat but not both. Th LNB on the Sk1100 is for 110, 119,129 sats.

anyone using a SatHero 300HD for dish setup? I just bought one but it is not well documented, need some help with setting up.

[QUOTE="Ziptied, post: 3827099, memb Thanks for the info. I still sail my 16 most of the summer, I solo most of the time but it is getting a little harder to so as I age! I'm 70 and the boat is only half my age (c.1979)

The changeover to 8PSK has caused an additional problem besides loss of old receivers. I travel in an RV using a First Strike FS1-SE sat meter to set up my dish, however it's only works with QSPK. I need to find a replacement that works for the casual user and doesn't cost an arm and leg...

Have lost all my locals in the Rochester, NY DMA. Been out several hours no reason given. Anbody know what is going on?

The TV is a 42" Vizio LED Smart TV. It is located on a wall mount above the 722K receiver. the receiver is on a table about 24 inches below the TV. I tried using the remote in an IR mode even when the TV was off. Won't even turn on.

Partial success. After many tries I was able to get TV1 & 2 to operate on UHF side of remote. I found that I could get the IR remote to work if I held it about 2 inches from the IRD window on the receiver; this was true for all three remotes in the IR mode. So at least I can now operate my...

Yes the SAT button lights up. I thought that since have two UHF remotes, I might be able to program the receiver so that TV1 and TV2 were UHF. Can't figure out how to do it.

I forgot to include that the TV's on the TV2 side function well on UHF signal.

My receiver does not respond to IR signal from remote. I tried two other remotes, set them for TV1, programed them from the system info screen, but neither worked, I have unpluged the receiver, remove all batteries, let the system sit overnight; nothing seems to change. I am thinking it is a...

Setting up an western arc antenna, have 110/119 locked with signal strength 40-50 but no 129. check switch shows #1 119/OK/WA.4, #2 110/OK/WA.4 #3 129/OK(in red)/WA.4. There is no signal on 129 point dish screen. Tried rotating skew angle with no change in signal. What next?

First my situation is that I travel in an RV with a 722K, I use an tripod mounted .2EA dish and have both an EA and WA LNB assembly. When I want to watch and record locals at my location I have to contact Dish and change my service address. I don't mind doing this but not for just one or two...

At least you have an RSN that provides some content, even if it isn't what you prefer. I am in Rochester NY DMA, my RSN is suppose to be MSG/MSG+. Dish has had a contract dispute with them since 2010, I get nada!! I subscribe to the Multisports package so I do get broadcasts on the special...

I recently purchased a FS1-SE Sat Meter for setting up my RV antenna. The instruction manual leaves a lot to be desired!! I have gone to lygnSat to get the correct set up info for transponders on 61.5 and 72.7 but don't understand the correct use for the 22khz function. I am using an EA .2...
