    Skew Apps Just Puzzle Me

    We camp often so move often to different locations. Skew settings always have me a bit puzzled as different apps give vastly different numbers for skew. It appears to be an issue with subtracting from 180 or not. We use a 1000.2 WA multi-lnb DPP and I know that we no longer have bird 129. Skew...

    Fine Tuning Pointing

    So I've now done this at least a dozen times. It always seems somewhat irritating to get no or weak on bird 129. I've got the tripod level, mast plumb and backing plate of 1000.2 DPP perpendicular to the magnetic location. Small azimuth adjustments can get better signal on 129 with a sacrifice...

    Does This Skew Seem Right

    I'm using DishPointer - Align your satellite dish for settings and am getting a skew of 59.4. Location is 29.9579N, -99.0788 for sats 110, 119, &129. Using a manual 1000.2 with the DPP 3 head LNB.

    Wrong LNB?

    I thought I had this figured out on our last RV. Got a new pair of Wally receivers, some dual coax and a new Dish Network 1000.2. Cannot seem to get a signal at the first receiver I'm checking. RG6 checks good from point to point. Correct Skew, Alt, & Azi. Odd thing is I'm seeing the Wally...

    Why No Signal

    I was in a campsite that had a lot of tree obstruction. Moving my tripod mounted 1000.2 several times always had the 3 sats (110, 119, & 129) just barely clear of the offending branches. I was unable to get more than just a tone but no visible signal. I remain a bit foggy on what part of the...

    Do Subwoofers Fail

    My 15yo Klipsch 12" downfiring subwoofer has developed a nasty loud rattle sound (almost snapping) on movies with a lot of deep base (explosions, etc). I had to turn the speaker down ~6db to stop hearing it so now I suspect I'm not getting anything from it. Is it worth trying to repair or should...

    New TV Issue with Hopper Through Denon

    Recently had a power supply fail in a 13yo Samsung 55" LCD. Equipment is Hopper connected to a Denon receiver via 3 component (RGB) cables and a Toslink then out the HDMI 1 (ARC) to HDMI 1 on the TV. I connected a Samsung TV like the old one and the video will go away for several seconds and...

    Recommended Meter

    I'm new to DIY dish TV and just got a 1000.2 w/DPP LNBF, a heavy duty tripod and a pair of Wally receivers for our 5th wheel. Had my first experience at home messing around pointing the dish. Ended up using an old ViP612 as a signal meter for what it was worth. After using the phone apps and...

    New To RV Dish

    Not sure if this is the right forum. First post here. But..... I want to make available Dish Network to my 5th wheel when we travel. Seems many, many ways to do this. Have Dish at home. When they changed us over to a Hopper with 2 Joey boxes for the other two TV locations, they left the two VIP...
