Not sure which satellite dish you're using but more than likely you'll need to do a switch check before the receiver from your (SB?) can be used in the MH. Every time you switch antennas you'll need to do a switch check.
Once the antenna is mated to the receiver with a switch check and correctly pointed at the satellite array, it will download the guide but it might take 5-10 minutes to complete.
I bought a Wally but after seeing that it's only got one output (and single HDMI port), I still haven't installed it. I'm using ViP211z receivers and like them much better. They got several outputs (componet ports-yellow-red & white, an RF port and HDMI), a built-in off the air signal tuner as well as the external DVR capability.
I've got 2 TVs in my MH and would need to add a HDMI splitter and HDMI cable to the back TV before I could use the Wally. The only thing the Wally has the ViP211z doesn't is the newer guide. I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
