Hooking up Dish Playmaker

[swsyko]

Any tips on installing a DISH Playmaker 7000 and DISH WALLY receiver. I am mildly tech challenged so any help or step by step instructions would really be appreciated. I will not install on the roof at this time, maybe later. I've heard it described as "easy peasey". I have a 2017 Leasure Unity Travel Van. Thanks in advance

The Playmaker is western arc only. The Pathway X2 is dual arc...

Q: What satellite providers and satellites work with the DISH Playmaker and DISH Playmaker Dual antennas?

A: The DISH Playmaker and DISH Playmaker Dual antennas are exclusively compatible with DISH programming. The antennas can receive programming from DISH western arc, which includes satellites 110°, 119°, and 129°.

• Put the antenna outside with a clear view of the southeast sky
• Download one of the many apps to figure out which way to initially point it (I use one called Satellite Pointer)
• Connect the antenna to the receiver
• Power up the receiver
• Do what it says on the TV screen

That would be southWEST sky.

For the Western Arc. When I first set mine up, the antenna was pointed 158°.

EDIT: The Playmaker gets both arcs and the OP is in AZ so Lynn is correct. The western arc would be the better choice.
