I've been using the homemade frame hitch for over a year now. It is wonderful. I also have a tripod put away. Have not had to use tripod since the hitch. I'm sure I will eventually but so far so good.
Sorry, when I posted super dish i was wrongly putting 1000.2, 1000.4 all in one basket. I do get a lot of hd with the 500. How much more with one of these. Which one will work best on east and west? although we will not be east of Miss much.
lol. I don't do beer though. Rv also had a splitter in the system cable. Wired wrong also. I removed it completely. This got us all the transponders back. New receiver was bad. It wouldn't even boot up the following day. This drove me "nuts". Never know what you will find hidden in these rvs.
My whole problem was the new receiver. Contacted Dish and they sent me a replacement and had absolutely no problems setting up receiver by zip code settings.
With the skew at 100 it was getting a very weak signal with 110. It was not green on signal bar. If I lowered elevation I lost 119. I have set up lots of dish 500s and never had this kind of problem. But this is my first trip this far north. I'm going to hire a dish installer and see if he can...
