Did anybody have to realign the dish after installation? Or were they able to just swap it out? Thanks.

It was just a swap out for me. Although, I did take advantage of being on the roof and re-aligned the dish. My signal strength stayed exactly the same as it was for 5 years since a "professional installation" after I put the new LNB in place, but a little re-aligning got me higher strength reception and an annoying message that my guide info did not download (which I had been getting for periodically for 5 years) has now gone away completely. This message often resulted in the need for a re-boot. So glad I had it installed professionally in the first place.......

I'm not sure. I just know that when Directv came to hook us up, they had to replace the lmn and the dish itself because neither one worked. Would not recommend!!

I have the dish setup and just need the box. What do i need to do to have it fully functional?

Are you currently using an HD dish with the D11? If not then go with with the non HD dish, I believe it's the 18 inch dish. It's pretty simple, if the receiver is HD go with the HD dish, if it's not go with the standard dish. When I had an older extra receiver that wasn't HD I ised the 18 inch. When I upgraded to Hd I got this system. Both worked great. Good luck!

I have the same dish. The heater works well. You will need to place the wires on the front of the dish rather than the back side.

Mine came in 20.1. This replaced a 3 month Dish install that was a 20.1. Interesting both worked on the same satellite box. Then I found Dish would send me one for free. They sent me a 21.1 which when programed voided the (2). Your question.....20.1.

Yes. I had Dish until recently. I used a splitter so I didn't have to pay for an extra receiver. Basically, my treadmill TV was a mirror TV to one of the ones in another room. You couldn't watch 2 different shows on them, but for us that was not a problem.

I use this with my DirecTV setup, so I assume you could do the same with Dish, although I can't speak authoritatively on this matter.

Just to confirm, I did change the configuration...no problem, it's just the simply taking 4 screws out of the rounded corner piece and swapping the 2 tables position. 5 minutes.

i use my dish for my camper and i also use the "dish aligner" i just back and looked at my account for a part number but couldnt find one. sorry. i just had directv at the house to reset the dish. i asked him about his meter he said any good meter should work. of course im not crazy about spending 200$ for a good meter. thats why i bpught the other tool.no meter required. good luck.

This is a pain with Dish. With that being said, I had to find a Dish Network dish that was already set up on a satellite, some say you can go to a local dealer, I don't know about that. Then I had to set it up with an active internet connection, after that point it was able to update the receiver and worked. If you hold down the * (star key) you can bypass the initial setup screen. Do a google search for "dish network bypass setup screen", you will find some good info. Good luck, hope this helps..

Yes you need a satellite dish adjusted to the correct direction, and a few other steps. Like before please refer to fta forums...

lol, i would not have been able to try all the codes, if i had not done those steps..I think you are about 3 steps behind right now. I have tried all the codes that i can find, and none worked to the degree that i wanted, hence my original post...I am looking for the exact code that worked for anyone else with this exact TV.None of the codes i have used, allowed me to use the arrows on the dish network remote to move around the different options on the TV screen. That is what i am looking for.Thanks

Don't think so no lnb settings for this dish, about a 30 inch dish for true fta

Should not be difficult. Start by removing old dish and then the installation of the Trav'ler is simple. One piece of coax and the control cable need to be brought into the rig. Usually done by drilling through the roof, but there are other options. If you go through the roof, Winegard provides a cover plate for where the entry point is.

Yes, when you change channels you will hear a slight sound and that is the unit moving to the satellite that the new channel is on. I am VERY pleased with this dome unit. To set it up when you arrive, you turn on your receiver and push a button on the Dish remote and within 5 minutes it automatically connects. The reason I bought this unit was Dish would no longer support my receiver (mid 1990's) and my antenna was made in 2003. I went to the Dish 211K and it would not support my old antenna. I found the best price on this unit at the time on Amazon. It was shipped from King Dome to me overnight FedEx. Buy this unit you will not regret it.
