ljr- The problem is the skew. If you are on much of the east coast there is only a few degrees.
By using the previously mentioned method of turning off power during the 72 manual search, I am able to get 61 and 72 of the EA by loosening the LNB screws and twisting the left side of the LNB up a few degrees and nylon tieing it. Have someone watch the signal meter then run the switch test.The manual mode searches with the center LNB head.
It defeats the purpose of the intended 1 button setup but is a work around if you will be at a site for a while. There is nothing on 77 at this point that I understand.
We used to use this staggered LNB setup years ago for getting 101 and 91 on the same dish.:)
When I get time I am going to cut up an LNB head and put the proper spacing in it and some homemade skew. I think I can do it so it finds 61 and the offset LNB head will be on 72.
Probably just easier and quicker to setup a portable.
