I am looking for a step by step on setting up a VIP222 receiver and a 1000.4 Satellite.
I purchased a second antenna and want to be able to take the receiver from my house to my camper and back. About all I know is my Azimuth, Skew, and Elevation from the chart as well as keeping the mast level. I am looking for 61.5, 72.7 and 77 and I am a novice at Dish Net Work. I previously had Direct and easily found the satellite signal with just the receiver and no extra meter (totally different direction). Can I use the signal meter on the VIP222K? I don’t understand check switch. Do I need to clear out the house check switch to move the receiver to the camper and will this also need to be done when moving back?
