yes the dish will work with the receiver
Orlando locals are on 61.5 so you're set there
what your meter says and what the receiver shows for a meter are different.....While the Dish receiver shows 125 max I think on Eastern Arc 50's is good enough (the meter use to go that high but a few years ago dish neutered that meter)
Once you get the receiver hooked up and the check switch done then see what the signals show and then tweak from there

it will vary depending on transponder. Some are spotbeams (for locals) so it may be higher or may be zero
Here is a thread of the minimum and average signal strengths

run the check switch option......can't imagine it not having the EA sats, must be because it has virgin firmware.
Selecting those options are to give you the numbers for pointing, if the dish is already aimed you don't need to worry about selecting any of them. Just run a check switch.
If the 1000.4 is already properly aimed, just run the check switch. Going with the setup in this post will not get you much HD programing other than locals.
If the EA dish is setup and pointed to the correct sats, a check switch will be all you need to do. The sats the 722 receives will show once check switch is completed.
Menu 6 1 1 Under Satellite, you should be able to scroll down to the EARC. Can you? Is this a new receiver or a used one you bought?
Also at that screen are you selecting a type of Dish, ie Dish Pro. If so, son't. Point to 72 and select Done

ok guys sorry for the delay i got it working but the most i can get out of (77.) is 36% of signal is this the best ?? 72 is at 54 and 61.5 is at 52. and at the same time i need help setting up the tv-2 remote i have a second tv an analog one in my room so i will appriciated who can help me and i hope i got this on the right thread if not sorry thanks.
The signal meter is not a % and is dependent on the type of lnb's and which arc you are using. For EA, which you are using, mid to high 50's is very good. If your locals are not on 77, I would even worry about it as you are probably not viewing any programing coming from it. What is the problem with the tv2 remote?
