Setting up for RVing

[gwdave]

I have the VIP211K receiver, and just ordered a 500 Dish. The house is using an HD PRO at 72deg. I have to assume that I will be at 119 so is that the number I put into the setup (finding the signal)????????? I have never dome this so I want to practice at home a couple of times,,,,,

using a 500 will not get all of your programming you have at home but will work. Go to the point dish screen and set it on 500 dish and 119, that will give you the settings for the dish after you plug your zipcode in.

HIFI Thanks for the reply, I know that I will lose local channels while on the road. I am not worried about that as most of the time it will be for just a weekend any way..... There are a couple of camp grounds that we frequent that have 2 channels both in Spanish..... The wife nor I speak the language so all will be good. The company told me that I should expect the package by the end of the month so I am kind of biting nails waiting....... I got a dish for free (500) however I hooked it up with a meter powered with 2 9V batteries, and could not get any signal on any satellite no matter where I pointed it..... So I threw it in the dumpster, and ordered a kit, cable, and all......... Well thanks again for the quick response, I will make a note of what I am supposed to do, the pray for the best........
