I am trying to point a new 1000.2, with a 311 receiver from zip code 43973. I have relocated a DishPro previously with no problems, and have been trying to get all three satellites with the new dish mounted right next to the DishPro. It took a long time, but I was finally able to locate and tweak 119; 110 comes in well too. However, when I do a check switch these are the only two satellites; I can't get 129. I have tried everything I have read on forums:
- Ensured the mast is plumb (using a level) both directions
- Put foil on two of the three LNB's (right two, which according to the install PDF is 119 and 110) to site in/ tweak
- Turned off the receiver for hours after running check switch so a software update could be downloaded (but there's no indication it has)
- unplgged receiver, done another check switch -- which, BTW, says:
110

(Sorry, but I can't get create a table to make it look like the output on the tv)
I got the 1000.2 for local channels, not
HD programming (reason Dish Network did not install is long story, but suffice it to say we are very remote and can rarely get anyone to ever show up for scheduled appt's). I have used a sat finder I bought from this site, and like I said, have been able to get two of the three sat's. I am at a loss.
Any ideas, anyone?
