Dish 1000.2 HELP - ABA DSS

smay2819 · September 23rd, 2009

The problem i have is i just installed a dish 1000.2 and a 211 reciver i can get a good signal on 119 but i am getting nothing on 110 or 129. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT

Not sure about the 211 STB receiver, but is there a place in menu where you can define each sat for each port. Like 119 to port 1, 110 to port 2, and 129 to port 3???

I Have not found that setting. I am wondering if it could just be a issue with the skew? Since i did a check it only picks up 119 do i need to keep doing checks or will it just start reading in the strentgh bar for 110 and 129 once i get it sighted in correctly?

just fine tune your skew... maybe have to go left/right (slightly) then skew & repeat as needed...quality bar will raise on it's own as you get 'er dialed in...

Question: Is that 211 a "Dish Network" receiver or FTA ?

Question: Internet fed ? (exp."I-hub") or Stand-alone ?

Answers: If 211 is "Dish Network" receiver (you will get no tv without a "Sub")

Answers: If 211 is FTA stand-alone (you will only get "NASA" channel on those sats)(only "ION" channel on Nimiq sats)

Answers: If 211 is Internet Fed receiver (for example "I-Hub") Skew dish and you're all set. =)

hopefully its just a problem with the skew and a little fine tuning will solve the problem
and welcome to aba

you should go to your install settings and under i think it is install or signal something like that you can see all the sats just arrow up or down for the sats you are trying to get then you will have to run a check switch that will tell you if your settings are right and if you are getting all the sats it will also tell yo the skew and elev for the location just put in the zip

Sorry about the misleading info. I just checked and i have a good signal on 110 but i can get nothing on 119 or 129. Again sorry about that. this is my first time setting one up by myself and i bought a sat finder which worked great. I just need help with the other 2.

Another piece of the pie. This receiver works fine at my house. I can get all the channels on this reciver and also on my main reciver at the house.

**MgGibson2** · September 23rd, 2009

Sounds like just a matter of skew .... You will get it....slight movements and patience...

smay2819 · September 23rd, 2009

should i tryto cover the 2 outside eyes with foil and site the dish in on 119 and then run a check switch make sure i have found 119 and then take foil off run check switch and see if the other 2 come up???????

**MgGibson2** · September 23rd, 2009

Do you have only one lead/cable comming from the dish ??
the 1000.2 has an internal switch (all 3 sats with 1 line & no external discq) which is deactivated with the use of multi-leads and external switches...
If have more than 1 line connected that could be the reason you are not picking up the other 2 sats.
On your receiver you should be able to choose which "port" you want to use for each sat. instead of foil just turn Off the other 2 sat ports with the receiver... dial it in and then turn on ports #2 #3 on other sats & skew it in...

that is all you have to do after you get 119 all you might have to do is skew it alittle. start off at 90 skew get 119 locked and then fine tune it and do a check switch you should be good to go good luck

smay2819 · September 24th, 2009

I was able to lock in 119 last night but it was saying it was the wrong sat that it was 110?????????

smay2819 · September 24th, 2009

SO i but the dish back to 110 and i have a signal strength of 84 on 110 but nothing on 119 or 129. what transponder should i be using for 119???

**jc7257** · September 24th, 2009

Use 12239. Keep trying, you will get it aimed. It is a pain though...

do you have the manual for your dish, it will tell you exactly what to set
your skew for your particular location, also gives you correct elevation
setting and azimuth.

smay2819 · September 24th, 2009

Yes i have the manual and i started were it said to with little adjustment. I only have one cable going to the dish so i covered the first and last eye with foil and tried to site in the middle eye on 119. I got a signal but it keep saying wrong sat 110

**MgGibson2** · September 24th, 2009

Put your zipcode/location into this dish pionter.....choose multi lnb setups.....choose 110w,119w,129w.... adjust dish accordingly....see what you get, may need slight fine tunning....(uncover lnbs...set each one to a port on receiver #1-119W: #2-110W: #3-129W)

I have not found the setup you are talking about. The only choices i have are dish 300, 500, or super
