Your opinions and suppositions don't matter here. I think we might have a dialog actually started so why don't we keep that going without sniping....

I agree, thanks for taking the time. We drove from Bakersfield, CA to Indio, CA and we just got here. Will go thru your suggestion as soon as I can
Sorry, just drove from Bakersfield, CA to Indio, CA - 6 hours and I am exhausted. I am looking for help, get different results at time. I will look at Bobby's question and get an answer as soon as I can
For those not familiar with the Dish version of the Winegard Trav'ler, once it has locked on to the western arc satellites it becomes essentially a normal Dish 1000.2 with the standard reflector and LNBF.
No satellites at all this evening in Indio. Trees blocking the dish. Monday night we will be in Quartsite, AZ try it there and will get back to you.
Kick back, eat a few dates! Drink a few beers. Take a break, relax, tomorrow is another day.
Yes, we had a very nice brunch with our family at Shields, yesterday.
So I started the process and I had printed out you last comments. For a while it looked like the same old thing, no locals. I was getting frustrated, so I had dinner. Went to the guide one more time and low and behold, Channel 5 KPHO came up and it was in HD! I did click on the satellites and when I did they went to being locked to being unlocked. Right before this happened I went in to tools and reset the receiver. The big day is tomorrow when we arrive in Casa Grande, thank you. I will let you know the results.
Once you get set up in Casa Grande do the same steps and let’s see where you are. The fact that you had a lock in Quartzite that went to unlocked is very concerning. Once locked it should stay that way considering you are not moving nor is the satellite. Of course loose connections could be a cause. I’ll be waiting for your next report.
Sorry, Casa Grande went much the same a Quartzsite.
Satellite up and no signal for 15 minutes.
3 clicks and I am in main menu, Tuner 1, Satellite 110, Transponder 21 and it was locked. Satellite 119 and 129 where both unlocked until I checked on them.
Went to grid and it was blank.
Went to Dish and clicked on reset hopper 3.
Every thing was fine, same locals as Quartzsite.
Pretty sure this is not the way this is suppose to work
Are you saying that you now have the 4 Phoenix networks? If so, you seem to be set but I’m unsure why you need to go through all that. Let me go ask NYDutch, our RV expert what sequence is required.
Are you running a "Test Installation" routine after the Trav'ler settles in at each location? If not, give it a try. It may not be needed at all location changes, but it's worth doing as part of your normal setup routine anyway.
Please tell me how to run a test installation.
Last nights results: The satellite dish has been raised since Tuesday night. Last night wanted to watch Dish, turned it on and it was all over the place, no patience heat has overtaken us. Went to tools reset Hopper, all ok. The DVR has recored the shows from the past 3 days.
FYI - I was born in Astoria, Queens (most likely a dark and stormy night)
Press Home 3 times, go down to Dish (3), go over to Test Installation (5)...
FYI, I was born in Flushing, Queens, NY, a hop, skip, and a jump away. It was fair and 52°...
