Wally Antenna

[1011hans]

I have a Wally and tailgater for my RV. I tried to hook the Wally up to my shop using a regular dish pro plus antenna and can't seem to make that work. Will a Wally only work with a tailgater antenna?

No, it'll work with a DPP LNB. Do you have anything inline between the LNB and the Wally?

no

no

Did you run a check switch? What are the results?

yes but i get the screen when completed to look for blockage. If it will work I must just need to adjust accordingly. Thanks I will try again tomorrow.

Have you tried power-off reboots? With my Wally and Playmaker, what I've found out the hard way, is that if I do a re-scan after I get the "blockage" screen, I continue to get them, even if I've moved the antenna to a supposedly better spot. If I actually power off the receiver (10 or 20 seconds before plugging back in) I get a normal switch scan and search and it's usually successful. Likewise, I've found that with my Hopper, USB issues (especially with my OTA tuner) are usually cleared up by a power off re-boot.
