Lost 1 of 3 Dish satillites on Winegard Automatic dish?

Everything has worked fine for three years using Dish with my fixed Winegard Satellite. Last trip I had to use my King Tailgater because of trees. When I switched back to roof Winegard, I could only get 2 of 3 satellites and lost HD and several channels. Troubleshot with Dish tech with no success. I get everything with my King Tailgater so my receiver, AB switch and wiring seem OK. Any suggestions or advice? Thanks!

Try this:

Remove the coax from the SAT IN connection on the receiver.

Run the CHECK SWITCH routine. Menu 6-1-1 TEST. It will say it found fewer satellites than it currently has do you want to save results, select YES. Check switch results should show NO satellites found.

Reconnect coax from roof antenna and run the CHECK SWITCH routine again. This time it should say it found all three satellites.
