ENTER TO MENU IN A NEW VIP211Z

[Valerio Fontanals]

How can i enter to the MENU en the vip211z receiver?
It seems that my new receiver comes with the satellite 119,110, 129 software. My dish is pointing to satellite 72.
When it comes step 2, the download process never ends.
Nothing happens with the remote control, and I can't enter to the menu to change switches.

My question is how can I enter to the Menu?

Using your remote, please press the MENU button, followed by 6 (System Setup), 1 (Installation), then 1 (Point Dish). Please select (Check Switch) from that screen. That will take you to the Installation Summary screen. Please make sure that Alternate and SuperDISH are not check marked. If they are blank, select Test, (If Warning 504 appears please select yes). Once the test is complete please verify what satellites are showing. If still different we may need to check something on your account.

Try pressing *#* when on step 2.

If your remote isn't programed, try manually programming it to address 1 and then try *#* when stuck on step 2.

Call Dish and go to Tech services. Tell them to activate your VIP211z for the other 3 satellites in addition to 110, 119, and 129. If you are traveling like we do. it will be sometimes necessary to look at one or other group. They did it for ours in just a few seconds.Then in installation menu select the appropriate, group and State.

Press "Menu" on the remote. Select then System Setup, then Installation, then Point Dish, Answer the questions, then Press Check Switch. System should start through the pointing process and verify signal levels for each of the 3 satellites you selected selected.

I sure hope the OP figured this out by now. It's been roughly 4 years
