  1. Multiple times. Went through this with the Dish people over and over and never got any results.
  2. Hello everyone! Now that you know I'm new and don't have a clue, let's proceed, and I'll try to be brief. I recently had Dish send me a Wally to connect to a 1000.4 EA antenna that I have attached to a tripod. I intended to use this set up for my fishing camp and hopefully an RV when we retire soon. There is absolutely nothing blocking the signals at the camp, as it has a completely clear view of the entire southeastern sky. I installed the Wally following the on-screen instructions, and after very little effort, was able to secure signal from satellite 72.7 and watch the channels coming from it. I continued to try and tweak the dish to capture watchable signal from satellites 61.5 and 77 to no avail. So here is the dumb part: I show when I switch the Wally between satellites (in the diagnostics menu) that I have signal from 61.5 and 77, usually around 50-55, just like 72.7. Yet 72.7 is the only one that will "lock on" to the signal. The other two show red "x" in the switch boxes and refuse to do anything. I was told I did not need a separate switch to route the cable through by both Dish and the folks I bought the 1000.4 from. Is this correct? Am I just not getting enough signal? Did I do something wrong in setup of the Wally or dish? Is it just antenna aim and I don't know what I'm doing? Told you I didn't have a clue, I could use some help! Thanks in advance!
