Also, I have the Vip211k receiver. My understanding is that I just need one coax cable connection from the lnb to the reciever. And it should not matter on which port I connect to on the lnb. And I thought that don’t need a separator. Is that correct?

I have the eastern arc lnb. I made a mistake, I should have said I need to get the 61.5 satellite on port 3 not port 1. So I’ll try turning dish 11 degrees left. I have a 50+ signal strength right now with the 61.5 satellite coming through port 2. Do you think I need to change elevation? Also...

I can’t locate 61.5 and 72.7 simultaneously. Can locate both individually. When I run a check switch I’ve got 61.5 on port 2 and it should be on port 1. Do I turn dish to the right? Do I need to change elevation? Also, I’m getting a 75 signal strength on the 61.5 satellite when on transponder...

I'm getting a new lnbf and go from there. Thank you.

When I run the check switch it shows the 72.7 satellite in port 1 and no signal in port 2 or port 3

I can get a solid signal from 72.7 & 61.5 but my 1000.4 Dish will only get it through port 1 (as confirmed after running a check switch) I have tried covering the port 1 (77) and port 3 (61.5) lnbs with tin foil to help locate 72.7 on port 2 lnb but no luck. The check switch indicates good...

Hipkat, Thank you!

Dishdude, satnewb, jim5506, I think you guys have nailed it. My cable is connected to the middle lnb (72.7), as I was trying to locate the the 72.7 satellite, as was initially instructed. But I'm locking into the 61.5 satellite. So must be picking up 61.5 on incorrect lnb. Does it make any...

I tried to lock into the 72 (72.7- thanks for clarification) first but could not get it located. Moved Dish all around and got some strong signals with peaking meter but reciever would not lock in. But the 61.5 (echostar 61.5) is strong. So if I can get the 61.5 I should be able to get 72? How...

I have a strong signal on 61.5 but can't find 72.7. I have a VIP211k receiver. When go to Point Dish and prompted for available satellites to search for, don't see 72.7. See 72 but can't get a signal. I get a strong signal with a peaking meter at the correct location (elev/skew/azimuth) for the...
