Dish TV trouble
I just finished installing a Wineguard x2 dish and 2 Wally recievers. So here's the rub. The dish supports 2 recievers but BOTH recievers have to be tuned to a channel that the dish is pointed at. So if the main tv is on a channel that is being broadcast by say the eastern satalight then the bedroom tv can only recieve channels that are being sent from the east satalight. So I guess this would be ok except DISH can't tell me which channels are broadcast by which satalights? Now here's the problem that's got my DW going crazy. If I change the channel in the living room and the dish has to move to a different satalight it will knock the bedroom tv off and the only way to get a signal again it to reboot the reciever in the bedroom and that takes about 10 to 20 minutes. Yesterday I changed the channel 3 times and every time it changes satalights. I'm sure you all know there are three different satalights. So how is everyone dealing with this. Is there a channel and satalight list out there for DISH TV or do I buy another dish forc the other tv??? Thanks for any help, Lee
