You have to change the Skew and Elevation of the Blacking plate.
| Arc/Orbital | Reflector | Azimuth | Elevation | Skew |
|---|
| EA | D1000.2 | 142 | 43 | 62 |
Yes, that's a 1000.2 dish. The 1000.4 arm is bolted to the mount, the 1000.2 arm is riveted.Figured I'd post a pic of my reflector to eliminate any guess work. Bought an Eastern Arc 1000.2 Hybrid LNB and yoke to replace my 110/119/129 hybrid head. Is this a 1000.2 reflector?
I have a sat buddy 29, so I should get it all pointed in short order.
1000.2 reflector, yes. You can tell be the rectangular bolt structure, and the arm.Figured I'd post a pic of my reflector to eliminate any guess work. Bought an Eastern Arc 1000.2 Hybrid LNB and yoke to replace my 110/119/129 hybrid head. Is this a 1000.2 reflector?

Yes, port1 of any Hybrid LNB goes to the ODU port.
Yes... One coax from port 1 to the ODU.
When I got my camper (several years ago), all I had was a WA 1000.2 and that's exactly what I did. With my 'older than dirt' Channel Master signal meter, I could get signal to very satisfactory levels. I have since acquired some EA LNBs.
I'm in southern Georgia right now, and getting 55 on 72.7 and 68 on 61.5 on my H2. In upstate New York and Vermont I usually see high 40's to low 50's.What signal strength on the Hopper signal strength screen should I be getting on the 72 and the 61.5 sats? I'm right at 50 on both of them. Something else that is strange...when I pointed with my Sat buddy 29, I would peak on 72.7 and get around 50 or so, but I could shake the dish and it would lose all signal, but then come back when the dish would come back to rest. I don't remember that happening with my WA LNB head.
I did have to remove the reflector and readjust my skew turning mount because my skew went from 118 with the WA head to 62 with EA head. I'm using the little diamond shape indicator on the skew adjuster to line up with the recommended skew setting for my zip code.
I think you should call Dish back and hope for a different (better) CSR.
I spoke with three different ones
"Ridiculous" is right. I change my locals as often as daily as we travel from RV park to RV park without any on site assistance. Even before Dish added the locals change feature to the MyDish app for Outdoors account holders, all I did was change my service address with a chat session. Let us know what the tech tells you when he shows up.I spoke with three different ones
First time I called, I simply called to change my install address. That CSR stated that a tech must come out to do something to my receivers, but stated that I would still receive local programming even without a tech coming out.
I called the second time because I still didn't have my locals after 45 minutes or so. The CSR did some troubleshooting with me for about 30 minutes, but stated again a tech will have to come out to do something with my receivers. Well, the second CSR for some inexplicable reason changed my install address back to my old address and that's where the field tech was going to come to in order to look at my receivers.
So, I had to call again and speak with them for a 3rd time! They re-updated my address and a tech is coming out Saturday morning.
This is absurd that a field tech is required to come out to get this up and going due to my changing local markets. I'm at the mercy of what Dish tells me. I've spent over an hour on the phone between the three phone calls. Ridiculous.
