DISH Receiver Setup

DISH receivers will often not show when they are on signal if they have incorrect “Check Switch” information. For this reason, DISH users must clear their current settings before pointing. To do this for most DISH receivers, follow these

steps. The following instructions are based on a Solo ViP® BEGIN HERE 211k receiver. If your receiver differs from the options

shown, you may need to consult your receiver manual.

Check out online receiver setup guides for your antenna at

Select Done to return to

Point Dish Menu. Re-connect coax to “sat in” on back of

receiver.

9	Input zip code of current location and dish type. On the display, Dish System should always
	be Dish 300. Note that whenever you move the satellite antenna to a new location, you must
	enter the zip code of your new current location.
	Satellite should be whatever satellite you want to point at. Satellite 119 is the primary satellite,
	and the majority of programming is located here. If you cannot find your desired standard
	programming on Satellite 119, try Satellite 110. For HD programming, choose Satellite 129 (for
	HD receivers only).
	With all information entered, an Azimuth Angle and Elevation Angle will be displayed under the
	Zip Code. Use these pointing angles to point the dish. If you have selected Satellite 129 as your

desired satellite, an azimuth and elevation angle may not be displayed. In this case, refer to the Satellite Location 129°W Angles Table included with this unit.

If using a 311 or previous model receiver, select Peak Angles to enter your satellite and zip code.

10	Make sure the satellite
	is the desired satellite
	you want to point at.
	If using Satellite
	119 or 110, use
	Transponder 11. If
	using Satellite 129, use
	Transponder 19.

Now go back to the Pointing the MP1 section. You’ll want to have someone watch or listen to the signal meter at the bottom of the screen while pointing.
