Dish tv

I have a winegard T14 and switched from Direct TV to Dish. I changed the switches on the reciever but i still don't have a full signal. I have two new boxes and i only get about half the channels i'm supposed to. When I look at the number of satellites its receiving its less than one box on the grid display. The T14 locks on, but every once in a while i hear it run for a second like its trying to line up. I'm in an area that has a clear view with no trees etc.

Ideas?

    Ok, Bill your spot on. I finally got a hold of a person at Winegard that knew her stuff big time. Two years ago I had the T4 installed after the OEM one became obsolete. When the RV dealer put it in, they made the bedroom TV the primary instead of the LR tv. So trying to program the sat receiver from the LR didn't work. She said to try the bedroom to program it and it worked! So after two weeks of messing around, I finally have all my channels and working great!

    Appreciate the help from everyone and the suggestions were right, just on the wrong TV!
