I have one but it quit finding the satellite, it just keeps searching

I used mine all over my back yard and it kept searching. I placed it on top the rv and it worked perfect. Trees and leaves will interfere with signal. Under the dome, the code must be set to the service provider dish, direct. This is a great product.

Is the setting inside correct for the satellite you are looking for, Dish, Direct? I use a level to level it and a compass to find north, on the west coast the satellite location is at approx. 120 degrees. That "area" must be clear of obstructions, the limb of a tree may be enough to block the signal. I have have put the dish up (say table height) and it will not lock, moved it to almost ground level (same location) and it locked. Some times I think it should be able to lock on and it doesn't, later at a different location (camp site) it works. If you level it, use a compass and have a clear unobstructed "view" and it does not work, the dish may be bad. Is the setting inside correct for the satellite you are looking for, Dish, Direct?

Check the wire connections on the receiver and the sat. if loose or broke it will just keep searching, some times the go bad for no reason.

Mine will do that too if I'm in an area that has a lot of dense foliage. We just went camping at a local state park and had to move the satellite around to different areas around our campsite until it was able to lock onto what was needed.

I sent one back because of that very same problem, and when it did lock on the picture would come and go

Late response, but it might help someone else. My 360 started losing satellites after being on for just a couple minutes. An external antenna fixed that problem nicely, only cost $11 from Amazon.

I also do not have the SAT button, and I have the PTY/CAT button. But, I use the Radio button for this option. I use the Radio button to change the input to the satellite, and then it finds the auxiliary!

I agree with Teri L. Arrasmith, I had to hook mine to the satellite box and I have had no problems with it. I've had it for about 6 months now. Works great.

Make sure all your connections are connected correctly and be sure that your antenna is in the right location and seated in the unit. If that doesn't work check to see that your GPS card is seated correctly in the slot on the lower right hand side, in front, of the unit. If you still have problems you may have to return the unit for a replacement.

No there isn't. It is a switch for it. Google adding a timer to it and there are guides on adding one. Or go with a satellite plus they have timers I believe.

Did you use blank scan? Use that it automatically search the right transponder. Good luck!Victor

No! I got one for my satellite LED plus and about once a week, when it turns on, it just goes straight into storm mode, our it just flashes like a broken strobe light.

it should work with this receiver, but you will need to get a satellite finder,

I put in batteries an mine worked. It took a few minutes to find my location. Make sure you are in an open area outside if you are still having trouble.

I couldn't get it to pick up anything. I returned it. I bought the app DishPointer Pro for my android and point it at the sky to find the 3 DirecTV HD satellites. We live in RV and move often. I have Direct's SlimLine dish for Genie, and I can have a signal within 5 minutes using the DishPointer Pro app.

This is Kevin From ReplacementRadios. Satellite capability is required for this particular interface. You must have a button with SAT or XM on it to use this.

Yes, I have one, but to note that this articulates has poor reception and scope. Not recommended. Better look at another brand.

Skyscout is supposed to identify objects in the sky. Mine was pretty useless, working only on rare occasions. I gave up on mine long ago.

Yes I have same situation. You can take box to camper it will go thru locating signal and program guide. I had to use a cheap signal meter to set dish up at camper. Also a little tip cover the 2 outside lnb's with foil while finding SATs. Google pointing this dish. Lot's of info..

I have one I bought from Amazon, but I have not been able to function. I have hired technicians Directv. Nor. The archive, return it because it costs more money to buy another of a different brand
