Pay as you go satellite

Ok I received the 2 wally receivers Sunday night, and the Pathway X2 came last night. So I did a quick hook up in the driveway, It didn't seem to want to stop searching for a satellite but it wouldn't stop looking even though it had clear southern exsposure. So I called it quits for the night. Today I took both wally receivers and a tv and the pathway out to my back deck that looks at 80 acres of field and oaks. Set it up again, following all the prompts. I would choose 2 receivers every time, it would not work. So I called Winegard and they walked me through the set up. When I got to the option of how many receivers 1 or 2 the guy said choose 1, I said I have 2 he said doesn't matter it's the only way it will allow you to set up?? Who knew? Bottom line is it works great. I didn't have time to even try to run through the Satellite connections on the coach. I just used the 2 25' coax that came with the Pathway, and ran directly through to the boxes and then a HDMI to the TV'S. One thing I don't like is the Pathway has 2 coax hook ups for two TV'S, one is marked MAIN (Living Room) and the other one says Sec. (Bedroom) The main is the only cable that powers the antennia. So if you want to watch tv in the bedroom you have to have to power on the Main or living room receiver. Not a good option. So I thought about sending back one of the Wallys and just use the living room receiver, and run another cable to the BR. TV and just use the one box. But I decided to keep both. I've got everything stowed away now, to busy to play with it more right now, but will be up on our property in northern Wa. for 5 or 6 weeks in late August and I'll give a better report when we get back. One thing I'll say I bought the Pathway X2 on Amazon it was "USED" I've never done that before with electroncs, but I was able to call the seller and he gave a great explanation of how he gets returns from DISH and resells them. 100% positive feed back And I saved $175.00. So anyway mine was returned to DISH because the package was damaged and their were light scratches. Well when it came yesterday the package looked like it was run over by a train. But you have to really look hard to find a scratch. Just thought I would throw it out there for you. Bottom line is I really like the picture and it is easy to use After initial set up. If I didn't want local channels when we get to our plae in Wa. the antennia and receivers will work without calling dish and giving a different address. Atleast thats what the TECH GUY said? Oh last thing, this is the first pathway X2 I've ever seen except in pictures, I knew the Specs. size but it's big. I've got alot of room on my side of the closet, so I guess thats where it will ride. I'll report how it worked after my trip.
