Hopper 2 and Winegard SK 1000 Problems
12-23-2017 Winegard SK 1000 elev fail message appeared on control box Went online and found a procedure that did an Elevation reset and satellite resumed and locked onto the correct satellites watched TV without a problem. 12-26-2017 Winegard would not stow — went into control box menu and pushed many buttons and resets till the satellite went to stow position 12-28-2017 Arrived at our location for the next 2 months and turned on the SK 1000 and it immediately went into the straight up position, stopped and left in that position. 12-29-2017 Winegard was called and they immediately shipped a replacement SK 1000 dome unit under warranty. 01-08-2018 Winegard dome unit was installed. From that time on the unit has not worked without going through the following process, sometimes many times during an evening of trying to watch TV — Have had many conversations with both Dish and Winegard. Both companies say the other component is causing the problem. Dish did replace the Hopper on 01-31-2018 - New Hopper was installed and the problem persist.
