    RV Dish and Smart Phone

    Yeah....I know it shouldn't, but things are sooooo weird. Just for an example, we get up this morning and I turn on the TV. Since the receiver has gone to sleep, I press select. We are now watching NBC's Today show. The program suffers from noise flashes and audio blurps. Most distracting...

    RV Dish and Smart Phone

    Within our wooded RV site in an Oregon State Park we have lined up our VIP 211Z with the 1000.2 HD Dish. Because of all the trees, we are unable to get high signal levels on all three sats [110,119 & 129]. All programs on 119 are great...those on 110 suffer. The audio occasionally breaks while...

    RV Help! Dish 1000.2 & VIP 211Z

    Brussam...thanks to the replies from all you Satellite Guys, we are now working. We made sure the tripod was really level and honed in on a good peak reading on 119. Then we disconnected the coax and ran a switch test. When it was complete we selected "save." THEN...we reconnected the coax and...

    NYDutch...thank you! We just did the test without the coax, hit save and then redid the test. ALL is now good. Boy, what a great relief. We just can't thank you all enough. Phew! Jim

    RV Help! Dish 1000.2 & VIP 211Z

    Chad....thank you, thank you and thank you. All is now working fine. Truly, without the help of Satellite Guys we would have been sunk. The Dish tech support team was absolutely worthless, one guy even said our setup was never going to work. Again....thank you. About twenty minutes ago we read...

    RV Help! Dish 1000.2 & VIP 211Z

    Chad, my wife [the inside half of our "line up the satellite" team] was going to perform that test prior to [me] reconnecting the dish for another go at lining the thing up. HOWEVER! She got scared with all the warnings about losing satellite channels. The receiver warns "by selecting save you...

    RV Help! Dish 1000.2 & VIP 211Z

    Brussam....thank you, again! Tomorrow I will erect our portable tripod [again] and make certain the post is absolutely vertical. Yesterday, I used a level to check that the bubble was between the lines...apparently, between the lines may not be good enough. Also...I referenced about our receiver...

    RV Help! Dish 1000.2 & VIP 211Z

    Presently, due to high winds and rain, I am unable to play with our new setup. However, I meant to ask you about our "check switch" indications on the receiver. After completing the test, it refers to a DPP-44. I was informed that this 1000.2 DP Plus had an internal switch and we do not need the...

    Dishman....thank you! I will take note about which sat is indicated and the order they appear after the switch test. Thanks so much for your reply. Jim

    RV Help! Dish 1000.2 & VIP 211Z

    Brussam...thank you for the reply. I will make certain to level the tripod...apparently it is more important than our previous setup. With that said, if a level tripod is not "right on" would turning the skew up/down possibly bring in the other two satellites?

    RV Help! Dish 1000.2 & VIP 211Z

    I just purchased a Dish 1000.2 and VIP 211Z for our RV. For years, we have used a 512 with no problems. Since purchasing a Smart TV we wanted HD...thus, the new receiver. After reading a few previous posts, I accessed dishpointer.com and found the coords for western arc 119, 110 & 129. As...
