hooking up Direct TV with a MotoSat Dish
Thanks to advice from bill.satellite and others. I did take the rig out today with the old RCA receiver and was able to lock onto satellite 101W, transponder 22 with a top peak of 95. Great signal strength.
However, when I then hooked it up to the new Direct TV receiver, it couldn't acquire the satellite and gave me warning number 771. And it recorded no signal strength on any transponder, all zeros.
Then, I just saw a post that said I need to select the proper dish with the new Direct TV receiver, so I'll try that tomorrow. I had asked the Direct TV rep if I needed to do that and he just said "no, it works with any size and shape dish." That didn't make sense to me.
Thanks
