What am I doing wrong ?
I know this is a long post, but what I don't know about this kind of stuff would write a few books.
Took the Wally from bedroom and put it in the MH. MH has the Winegard - Roadtrip dish. The dip switches have been set to receive DISH signals. This weekend we stayed at a SP that does not have decent cable and this was a good opportunity to see if the Roadtrip worked. We got setup and leveled. When I turned the dish on, it began searching you could hear it turning and moving. When it stopped I turned the Wally on and it was ready to go. It showed the guide but would not go to the local channels (lower numbers) saying they were not available. I then punched in 120 and it came right up. Great! when I tried to go to other channels it would give me the message about the signal being lost and giving me options on what I could try before calling DISH. I gave up and turned the Roadtrip selector switch off and switched back to cable. Later that day, it tried it again. Wally and Roadtrip turned and did their thing and then stopped. Message came up that Wally was restarting and downloading guide. I went to 120 again and it came up for a few and then died with the same message of lost signal.
When we returned home I set up again with no trees around, thinking that may have been the problem. Nothing then. When I put Wally back in the house it immediately produced a picture.
What am I doing wrong and what is the sequences to do it right? Thanks for your time
