Got a dish 500 the other day for free. It's raining now so I can't do much... want to bring in 110/119 for the free channels for the next few days til my winegard, roof mount and sg2100 get here. Seem to have trouble getting the dish 500 to get a signal. I fiddled with it a little the last couple of afternoons - no reception. Got the skew, elevation and az right I think... frustrating. I'm looking forward to the motor for the ku band stuff since I won't have to do all of this dish moving by hand.
Any tips on how to properly get in 110/119 on the dish 500? I may just forget it completely and/or put on the old dtv 18" dish, aim for 110 and then use a second lnb to do a poor man's dish instead of aiming the 500 that's meant for doing this stuff.
