motor home with VIP211

[martha]

I use a VIP211 receiver in a motor home and use a roof mounted Winguard 1000 auto dish. It works very well and receives the 110,119,&129. My problem is when using a single grounded mounted dish with a single LNB. I can easily lock on the 110 or 119, but for some reason the 129 eludes me. I have set the receiver for a Dish 300, 500,or Super. I don't see anything in the point dish stage. Any thoughts????? Martha

HI, what are you using for a meter? Maybe a check switch with the coax cable disconnected (to clear the receiver) might help. Later, DC

Have you tried finding the sat using dishpointer? 129 doesn't give any info on point dish. 61.5 will give you info tho.

couple of pretty good ideas, i'll give a try. I looked at dish pointer as Tomboy suggested. You sure need a lot of clear sky to get from the 110 to the 129. Can't get the 129 at present location. The dish pointer gives co-ordinates for the 129. Question I still wonder will the VIP222 work with just the 129 only

It should. Just as it would work with 61.5 and Dish300 setup
