Hey guys,
Got a few questions, if you would be so kind. Trying to do the poormans setup .Before I get my viewstat, I wanted to get my dish setup. Im confused. I'm trying to use my dss receiver to find the sats. when i go to my setup under dishpointing (on my dss receiver), It ask what dish you are using. Either round or oval. I pick round. when i then go to the signal strengh meter, it just shows sat 101. Hmm. If I go back and pick oval dish, the signal screen it then gives you two choices, 101 and 110/119. the 110/119 are together. I don't know which sat I'm trying to tune in. Can someone walkme through this using a dss receiver? Also I believe I have to set the tp's properly. I have a dss receiver and tv on the roof with me. Am using a short cable going from the receiver to the lnb's. no switch involved yet. appreciate any help!!
