spent two hours last night trying, and failing, to set up dish network.
just spent nearly 400 bucks for a KVH satellite "upgrade" and "keys" for my control panel plus installing a power supply to it...followed instructions to a T on hooking up the vip211 receiver, and no matter what i did i couldnt even get A HINT of a satellite signal.
no one tells you if you use superdish, dish 300, dish 500, dish 1000, nor do they mention what "transponder" to enter in that section...nor do they tell you what satellite 110, or 119 to even try first.
most non-user friendly thing ive ever seen.
i heard the antenna on the roof moving and "running" but never could get a signal...
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
This modern stuff is great but they sure don't make instructions clear enough; the people writing them think us non technical understand, but we don't. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
