KVH TracVision QPSK to 8PSK Dish Network (How to re-program)

I finally figured it out, (For now!) I have an in Motion KVH TracVision R5 that stopped working at the beginning of the year because Dish Network upgraded their Left-hand (LHCP) transponder from QPSK to 8PSK encoding. I know there was a fix that gave the ability to lock onto 119 but that stopped as well. After some trial and error, I have been able to lock onto Dish Network 110 & 119 satellite. (I'm actually locking onto DirecTV for LHCP at 110 degree and both LHCP and RHCP at 119 degree).

You will need to manually program the board, below are the details you need to enter to setup Dish 500 with automatic satellite switching. Again I have the R5, but I believe this will work with the KVH TracVision R4, L3, S3, L2, and S2.
