It occurs to me, since I've seen it several times now, you may not be aligning the skew setting correctly. Please don't take offense if you already know this, since I have no way of knowing your level of expertise. The drawing below shows how the skew setting should be centered on the bolt on...

We do just fine with 100/10 unlimited data from Spectrum for $30/mo.

Recheck your skew setting. That could account for the intermittent lock on 72 that Dish is seeing. If you move the skew, you may need to re-tweek 61.5 also.

77, 118, 129 are the ones that come to mind quickly.

Hopefully others were also putting some pressure on them.

I started emailing Frndly about a year ago suggesting they make a simple flag change in their app so the Fire live guide could read it. After much back and forth, I'm glad to see they finally got it done.

The thumb could be handy for picking up pieces of the old field. Or maybe it just wasn't worth taking it off for this job when they'll need it for the next one.

We really enjoy a lot of the Frndly programming. I hope ROKU doesn't mess with it...

Ok, I didn't realize you have an auto-aiming dish. DishPointer puts the rough azimuth for 61.5 at 169.3 deg magnetic, but using the GPS coordinates would be more accurate.

The eastern arc sats are at 61.5 and 72.7, but you'll need an eastern arc LNBF to match the spread. It can be done with a 110/119 LNBF, but it takes very careful aiming, luck, and one sat or the other will likely be a little more shaky than the other. I've been off Dish for over a year now, but...

When Dish dropped the 129 and 77 birds, all I did to my portable 1000.4 setup for my RV was slap some aluminum tape over the unused LNB's to minimize aiming errors when setting up at new camp sites. Otherwise, everything worked normally.

There's no WA LOS anywhere on our upstate NY property. That would rule out any thoughts of returning to Dish from streaming for us.

I bought 55" ONN Roku TV when they were on sale. I haven't checked out the Roku apps yet beyond a brief look while setting it up, since I set the startup to automatically use the HDMI port that has my HDMI scaling splitter attached. The splitter has a Firestick 4K MAX installed that was already...

Looks good!

I wonder if changing the logo to "SATELLITE GUYS & MORE" would be helpful when the new domain brings people in to check it out?
