PERFECT RECEPTION
Check the sight line to every feed
For trouble-free reception, each feed must have a clear line of sight. Check for trees, buildings and other obstructions in the satellite direction beforehand on the map, or on site with the official DishPointer Pro 2 app.
Your DISH 500 configuration
DISH 500 uses a target between its two feeds, rather than a center feed. The 1000.2 Western Arc preset uses a different arrangement and a 119°W center target.
