OK guys, I'm back. I finally gave up on the dish network dish with directv reciever. Found one on ebay and paid only $.99 for the dish and $15.00 shipping. It was a new dish still in the factory sealed box. Got it out, put it together, and put it up. Set it up with the same angle setting as...

Ok, I'm back guys. Still have had no luck in fixing my problem with the directv reciever and dish network dish. Broke down and bought a dish off ebay. There was absolutely nobody in my area that sells the directv dish or parts. The nearest place is 60 miles away. But like I said, got one...
