The EA install guide for Cary shows:
EL = 48
SK = 82
AZ = 177

Make sure your mast is plumb and peak to 72.7 transponder 19 or 21

Set your signal strength screen on 72.7, peak your dish on it, and the other two will be there too. You will need to raise your dish about 1 degree and turn it about 1/4 inch towards the west.

Do a check switch without the dish connected to disable LNB selection. Then connect to the 72.7 port on the dish and find the 72.7 satellite. Then do another check switch and you should have all three sats.

Good day.

We are currently camping in Whittier, NC 28789. Next year we will be taking this site for the season - 6 months. The campground only offers 6 channels of TV, not enough for an extended stay.

At home we have Eastern Arc 1000.4 w/HD, a VIP622 (dual tuner) & a VIP211K (single tuner). The 211K would be be the receiver making the trip.

If a 1000.4 will work in Carey, NC, will it also work in Whittier, NC. which is about 40 miles WSW of Asheville, NC? If so, what would the co-ordinates be and do you think a portable tri-pod would support a 1000.4 dish?

Thank you for your response.

Whittier, NC

EL = 47
AZ = 167
SK = 76

I think a tripod would work, even if you had to place a little bit of weight on the tripod legs to keep it from tipping over.
