Can’t locate 61.5 and 72.7 simultaneously

[Endotheline]

I can’t locate 61.5 and 72.7 simultaneously. Can locate both individually.
When I run a check switch I’ve got 61.5 on port 2 and it should be on port 1. Do I turn dish to the right? Do I need to change elevation? Also, I’m getting a 75 signal strength on the 61.5 satellite when on transponder 5. When I initially open the Point Dish screen the transponder defaults to 13 with satellite 61.5. Any reason for this? Thank you.

Why is the System set to "Super"? It has been a while since I went to a Hopper but I don't think SuperDish is correct for a DPP 1000.4 dish.

I assume you do have a EA LNBF head.

As a practice, I always used Transponder 11 or above. Below 11 can be spot beam transponders and you can get strange results.

Which LNB are you using? The 1000.4 eastern arc LNBF should be seeing 61.5, 72.7 and 77. If you're seeing 61.5 on the center LNB, then the dish needs to be turned left about 11 degrees. Use the flat sides of the mount to align to the azimuth, not the LNB arm.

I have the eastern arc lnb. I made a mistake, I should have said I need to get the 61.5 satellite on port 3 not port 1. So I’ll try turning dish 11 degrees left. I have a 50+ signal strength right now with the 61.5 satellite coming through port 2. Do you think I need to change elevation? Also when I run the check switch I’m not sure why it shows “Super” under dish system. The other options are dish 300 and dish 500. I have the 1000.4 dish. Seems to be running a good check switch test with “Super” selected for dish system. Thank you

Also, I have the Vip211k receiver. My understanding is that I just need one coax cable connection from the lnb to the reciever. And it should not matter on which port I connect to on the lnb. And I thought that don’t need a separator. Is that correct?

The ports have nothing to do with it. All three output ports are the same, as the LNB has a built in switch that combines the incoming signal from all the Sats so that each output port has the same combined signal from all the Sats.

Correct, 1 cable from any port on the LNB to the 211, directly. Separators are only for Dual Tuners

I’ve encountered this before with LOS issues. If you’re using a sat meter and peaking for 61 and 72 you should at the highest reach in the 70s for 61. However, it’s common that 72 may show up without 61.5 due to an obstruction as 61 sits at 42 degrees elevation(slightly lower than 72.)

Do all LNB's do this?

All DPP's do. The DPH's do, too, except when connected to a Hopper 3 or Hooper Duo, port 2 gets disabled.
