1000.2 Set-up problem

[Tomboy257]

In setting up my 1000.2 Dish I've encountered a reception problem. After doing a check switch I have "Reception Verified" with 129 on port 1, 119 on port 2 Conn on port 3. What adjustment should I make to get reception on all 3 sats and in the correct order? Thanks

go up 4 degrees and nudge back to the east 10 degrees

Thanks....That did it. For future reference should it happen again (I'm a snowbird, so I set it up each year, this was my first for the 1000.2. didn't have this problem with the 500) How did you know which way to move the dish? Again thanks Much

I install 3 to 5 daily and you were seeing 129 with the 119 lnb, so taking into account the differences in location of the two.

Okay. Thanks. When I have a problem like this I like to know why so I don't have to keep asking questions. During the initial set-up I tried the foil on the right two LNBs (looking from behind) but just didn't seem to have any luck finding any sat. So I gave up and fiddled until I got some sort of signal.

you'll want to use foil on the two outer lnb's and point for 119 on the center lnb.

Yea HIFI is right. Good pointing to you.
