Direct tv Hr 24 and portable satellite

Question

I have been trying to get my HR 24 receiver to work with my small carry out automatic satellite dish. but no luck. I changed the settings to sd channels only and set it to round dish and multi switch.
It will get to the loading guide screen and get to 99% and just stay there. Has anyone been able to get this receiver to work with the small automatic dish?

I had the same problem. Make sure there are no trees blocking the signal then set up your satellite and TV  turn it on and wait for 20 minutes before you do anything.  The dish takes  that much time  to get in line with the  satellite for the first time. It worked perfectly for me  when I followed that process.

With the Winegard Carryout you have to let the receiver go through the setup before you apply power to the Carryout.  I forgot this on our current trip and had trouble the first two nights getting things setup.  After I remmebered this I haven't had a problem.  Also you do NOT need the K-Band adapter in line.

That's the B Band Converter just as a point of interest.
