    Why No Signal

    I carry 200+ feet of cable (in 2 or 3 pieces) connected as required. With the pointer app, I walk around until either Arc sat, are visible. I have the dish pointer setup for both eastern and western Arc. Which ever Arc is best I change the lnb to that Arc. Setup tripod on that spot and level...

    Wireless joey loses connect

    Thank both of you for your comments. The hard wire would be difficult Hopper is second floor and router is first floor. I will try the pulling power, and see how that works. Still don't know why it loses connection so often. Sent from my MAX 10 using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Wireless joey loses connect

    My wireless joey loses connection when it has not been used for awhile. It is connected to a tv on the first floor, it is a 3 floor townhouse, the hopper is on the second floor. You have to go upstairs to push the WPS button. Go back downstairs to check. More than 50% of .the time it didn't...

    How do I transfer existing settings and timers (NOT recordings) from old Hopper 3 to a brand new Hopper 3?

    I have backup the hopper and the remote. Setup at campsite and activated the new hopper. Unpaired the new remote and paired the old one. Went to tools, technician settings and restored recerver and remote. Nothing got transfered.

    Hopper 3 Self-Activation

    After moving every 2 weeks I am fairly good at connecting and setting up a dish system. This time I am not using a tech and am a little fuzzy on activation of a new hopper 3.

    Hopper 3 Self-Activation

    I lived in a fifth wheel for 14 years and had several dish receivers installed by a tech on a tripod allover the USA with never a problem. The last one was a hopper 3

    How do I transfer existing settings and timers (NOT recordings) from old Hopper 3 to a brand new Hopper 3?

    one thing that is blowing my mind is that the setting and timers are stored in the remote??

    How do I transfer existing settings and timers (NOT recordings) from old Hopper 3 to a brand new Hopper 3?

    I just purchased a new Hopper 3 for the camper. How do I transfer settings and timers to the one in the camper? It is not power up or activated as yet. Was planning to activate next week while on a camping trip. No power or antenna where it is now.

    HOA says move dish

    Can not be attched to any structure. Another difficulty is communicating with the HOA. Originally I filled out a form on-line stating my intention and a week later sent a letter. Waited a month, with no response. I had even setup a dish on a tripod and ask them to inspect it. Nothing so I had it...

    HOA says move dish

    The management company has forward my email to the HOA president and we are waiting to hear a reply. I think I should have Dish come and survey the spot and verify it would work. Then check with the HOA. Might cost a little but otherwise I will have to drop the service and go back to cable. Can...

    HOA says move dish

    It is a townhouse and as it turns out it is in common ground, however when it was installed it was thought to be my ground as I was maintaining it. Previous occupant thought so also.

    HOA says move dish

    My HOA sent a text to neighbor giving 10 days to remove the dish in the side flower plot, their rules state it not be visible from the street. While we were out of country for the month of January, they decided to remove the nice mature bushes that shielded the dish, as part of the driveway...

    skew setting using an inclinometer.

    Thanks, for all the information. NYDutch, thanks for that explanation I was leaning that way but was not sure. Buying a new backing plate would be a good idea and I probably do that when I stay long enough at one site to get shipments, a constant problem.

    skew setting using an inclinometer.

    I have had to change the skew so often that the numbers are no longer readable(full-time RV and change every 2 weeks), so I ordered a magnetic inclinometer to make this adjustment. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the meter should show. For my current location, DP shows 131.6 for...
