DISH only: Automatic satellite switching:
DISH SD
: KING recommends using a DISH model 311 receiver.
DISH HD and SD
: You can use any of these receivers:
Wally • ViP211z • ViP211k • ViP211 • 411.
If using any of these receivers, we highly recommend using Tailgater mode for
simplified operation with the receiver’s built in Tailgater interface (see section
3 to choose Tailgater Mode). This eliminates the need to configure your
receiver as shown in this section.
DISH and Bell TV:
If you do not have a clear view of the satellites, the
switch will not load correctly.
The SW21 and SW64 switches are a receiver software configuration that is
loaded into the receiver after successfully running a check switch test with the
dish locked on and configured for the appropriate service.
This one time procedure will not need to be repeated after successful
installation, unless:
a) check switch test is run again while the receiver is connected to a home
dish system.
b) check switch test is run when the receiver is not connected.
c) you travel outside your coverage area and reconfigure the antenna for a
different service.
d) you are parked in an area where the selected satellites are blocked, but
are able to select alternate satellites and get signal.
1. Go to section 5, perform a scan as outlined in steps
1 - 3c
, then return here.
The antenna must locate all of the appropriate satellites before successfully
completing the search process so it can properly configure your receiver.
If you configured the antenna for DISH HD and SD and the antenna
cannot acquire the 110, 119, and 129 satellites, you may need to
configure the antenna for DISH HD and SD Alternate (section 3).
