I will have to follow this topic, as I have been considering putting a permanent dish on my house roof as well. Presently, I have been using the tailgater cube on my deck in order to use the 211k receiver here at my house. It works fine, but every time I walk out on my deck I seem to hear the cube "doing it's thing", i.e. whirring. I am just afraid it's gonna wear it self out over time. Hence, I was thinking about using a permanent dish to give it a rest here at home.
But, if it's gonna screw things up, forget about it!:E
We have a Tailgater and when we are at our home base that has a regular dish the 211 automatically recognizes the dish without any problems, when we go back to the Tailgater it changes back to that programing.
To the OP the service person should not have had to do anything to the receiver to make it work on a standard dish it's all automatic.
