Dish Network Channel Problems

Just turned the "RV" service for a month.
Have the eastern arc antenna which worked well last summer in the Northeast states.
Pointed the satellite at the eastern arc.
Did the Check Switch.
Satellites, 77-72-61.5 came up as ok ok ok.
Backed out of the Menu.
Got a screen saying, "Welcome to Sat 61.5" (Don't remember seeing that screen before).

I'm able to select about 5 channels and that's it.
I have the Americn 250 package.

Any ideas why I cannot receive the all the channels?
Thanks!

  • Call Dish and have them "Ping" the receiver. You might also be able to do it yourself online.

  • If you have not used it in a month or more they will need to reactivate your receiver. Give them a call.
  • Called and got a US rep that I could understand and talk to.
    Took a little bit, they got it working.
    Thanks for the help!!!

  • If you go on line and log into your account then use the live chat you always get someone that knows what's going on. That's how I change the locals, I don't use the phone any more for dish.
