I've been searching and reading but can't exactly find an answer to this one. I have a VIP 722 DVR receiver and had two dishes here in Nashville. 61.5 and a dish 500 with 110/119. I lost a lot of my HD channels and was told to install the 1000.4 Eastern Arc dish to replace everything. Since I had a 61.5 pointing in that direction already with a clear line of sight and a good signal I figured I'd go for it.
So long story short I have a father and an uncle 3 hours away that both deal in Satellites. One sent me a Digisat ii / Digisat 2 meter and said I can try the foil on the two outside feed horns on the LNBF along with the meter and I should be able to peak using the 72.7 feed if I use the meter inline with the receiver. The other one says that meter won't work and I need to find someone with a better meter like a local installer. I have the dish mounted and ready to roll, tried using the receiver at 61.5 and transponder 13 and got nowhere. Meter is in the mail but wanted to know if I would be wasting another day and see what the popular opinion was.
Thanks!
