Wally finding signal
Wally issues - Anyone using the Wally with Dish, and if so do you have trouble getting it set up after setting for a while? I have the SK-1000 Travel'r antenna and I've used it with the Hopper, ViP211...

If it has been off for more than about 30 days (not connected to a working properly pointed antenna) then the receiver has been deactivated. I would suggest getting the receiver activated first and then give it another try.
This has been my experience as well. Not to mention, the latest update needs to be uploaded as well.

I am going throw a twist on this. I tried to activate my new wally on a Winegard Mission Roadtrip. It had been off for more than 30 days. It would access some satellites but not download programming. This is unit programming and not TV channels. I called Dish and they said take to a local authorized Dish shop to get it initialized the first time. Shop would only come to me for a service fee. During the conversation, I mentioned that I have a DISH Tailgater. They said that would probably work but call them if it did not. It worked. Took many hours but it worked. So, if you know someone that has a "real" "DISH" antenna, try that. I can now use my Winegard MR.
