Greetings -

I just installed a new 1000.4 antenna for my new 722 receiver.

What's the best way to tune the antenna for the receiver?

The receiver's "Point Dish" only has options for a 300, 500 and SuperDish antenna.

Looking at the satellite options, Dish 300 and 500 antenna's have the 61.5 location but I can't find 72.7 or 77 degrees anywhere on the Point Dish screen.

Do I choose Dish 300 or 500 and just try to find the 61.5 satellite?

How do you make sure you can see the other birds if the receiver doesn't all you to see the bird?

Also, which Transponder are you supposed to select for the 61.5?

It seems really poor that Dish never updated the Point dish software for the new EA antenna.

My old receiver was really old so it only has settings for 110/119 so I can't use it to try to tune the antenna.

Thanks for any & all advice!
