winegard dish verses direct tv dish

Good job. As long as you were set for SWM you would get no signal no matter what. Getting into multiswitch fixed that. It's OK if you see the message about seven days, it just means it might take that long for the program guide to get fully loaded to 2 weeks of programming. When dealing with this stuff just keep clicking continue until you reach the end where it says "watch DirecTV" and sit back and relax. It sounds like your way worked as well. Just remember that each time you move locations you will need to use slightly different settings.
