722k Point Dish Screen doesn't support my antenna

[hobie16]

this is a spinoff question from thread about 1000.2, 2 LNB antenna. The point Dish screen 6-1-1on my new 722K does not give me any angles for the 61.5/72 sats on my new antenna. The only choices are for the Dish500 110/119 sats. How do I locate the info? dishpointer.com doesn't support this antenna, the best I can do is use the 1000.4 EA data an try to extrapolate the right numbers.

I don't believe Dish ever uploaded not the EA numbers, not input the newer dish types. Only 300, 500 and Super show. I installed a 1000.4 EA dish at my home last July, the point dish screen still does not show point numbers for 72 or 77 even on dish300. 61.5 only shows for dish300 and not the others. DishPointer will give you your initial setup numbers by using the EA 1000 dish. Not having 77 does not change the settings needed on dish you are using.

Dish never updated their stb's with that info. Go to www.dishpointer.com

Here's the info that you need:

Thanks dehenny, that is exactly what I needed. Where do you find this kind of tech data? There aren't any links on the Network page.

I'll send you a pm

Also using dishpointer.com and selecting the 1000.4 EA will give you the needed information.

When I replaced my 722 I had the sme issue. What you need to do is go to Point Dish and change to one of the sat's that you can see. Wait for it to get a lock and name the sat and then press Done. Then all the required info will be downloaded.
