61.5 Problem

[ameronlopes]

This is my set up:
1 Dish 500 dish with one Digital LNBF with 2 outputs
DP301 Receiver
Unable to get signal before calling for subscription.
Do I need a Switch or additional dish for the other Satellites?
All I want is 61.5 Satellite.
Please help

You should be able to aim at just one satellite and subscribe to programing, are you sure you are aiming at the 61.5 satellite or a satellite at all?

Yes. It is properly aimed. I tried to slightly moving around, but no luck.

Do you have the I-yoke on the 500?
If you are absolutely sure that you have the right AZ/EL angles on it, simply continue with the process of elimination. Either the cable, LNB, or receiver. The most common would be the cable (bad connector). I would try first a new piece of cable, or at least make new connections.

You don't need a switch to get just 61.5. However, on the point dish screen make sure to choose 61.5. Also, see that your mast is level and that the skew is 90 to make the elevation number correct. If you have a Y-bracket on the end of the dish, then your compass heading will be a few degrees off.

I finally got a signal. Because the use of a Dish500 dish, skew had do be changed to a vertical position.
Thanks everyone.
