Portable Satellite Dish – Troubleshooting Of Carryout Automatic Portable Satellite TV Antenna

Tuesday, 17 August 2010

Problem:

The Carryout antenna does not attempt to find a satellite or it never moves.

Solution:

1. Check +12 V wires at unit to verify the quick disconnect is locked

into the socket.

2. Make sure the Carryout antenna is plugged in.

Problem:
    The dish never stops on any of the signals that it sees.

Solution:

    1. Make sure that your receiver is set up correctly. For DISH NETWORK, the check switch should read either “Unknown” or “SW64”. For DIRECTV, the receiver should be set for a Two Satellite Oval Dish. In some cases, the ‘Two satellite’ option may not be available. In these cases, select Three satellite oval.

2. Make sure the Main coax cable from antenna is run to “satellite in” on back of your receiver and all coax fittings are made properly.

Problem:
    With DIRECTV, the dish will find the alternate satellite but it never finds the primary satellite.
Solution:
    Make sure that the Switches on the Electronics Control Box are set for DIRECTV. See page 3. These switches are found under the dome, inside the Electronics Control Box.

Problem:
    I am not getting all the DISH Network channels I subscribed to.
Solution:
    Go to the check switch menu in receiver. Make sure that it’s set for SW64 and lists both even and odd transponders on satellites 110°, 119° and 129°.

Problem:
    The Carryout antenna never sees any signals, it just keeps searching.
Solution:
    1. Rain, snow or excessive dew on the dome can interrupt the signal. Snow and dew can be brushed off the dome. If heavy rain or snowfall is blocking the signal, it may be necessary to wait until the weather clears.

2. Check to see if the southern sky is clear. Trees, buildings, large signs or an overpass can block the signal. Find an area where you can be sure that this is not the problem and try again.

3. Run a single, good coax cable directly from the Carryout to the satellite receiver, by-passing everything.

4. Make sure the receiver has power and the satellite dish is connected to the “Sat In” jack.

Problem:
    I have switched satellite service providers. How do I set my dish for my new provider?
Solution:
    You will need to remove the dome, and set switches to correct provider. See page 3.

Problem:
    My receiver appears to be locked up. I cannot get any response from it.
Solution:
    1. Power off receiver and turn back on.

2. Hold in power button on receiver for three seconds and release.

3. Unplug receiver from outlet for 20 seconds and plug back in.

Problem:
    With DISH Network, my Carryout antenna appears to lock onto signal, but my receiver does not show a picture or a signal reading.
Solution:
    Check the “Check Switch” installed in your receiver. If anything other than “Unknown” or “SW64” is installed, please run the “Check Switch” test. See page 6 for help running this check.

Problem:
    The DIRECTV receiver shows a signal but the Carryout antenna never stops searching.
Solution:
    Exit the receiver menu screens and try running the search from the program guide screen.

Portable Satellite Dish – Making the Setup Process Easy

Thursday, 29 July 2010

Pointing portable satellite dish imagePointing portable satellite dish looks difficult at first but it is actually very easy to do.  Here is how to do it:

First, you will to have a subscription with a satellite provider such as Dish Network or DirecTV.  I actually recommend Dish Network because I found it’s a lot cheaper and it has more channels and service packages.

The most important tool you will need to use is a screwdriver.  I know it sounds so simple, but it really is.

Once you have a subscription with a satellite provider, you can begin the process of pointing your portable satellite dish.

The best advice for anyone is to follow the instructions for your particular model of satellite dish. I found it makes everything much easier if you do that.  You don’t have to wait for the satellite dish installer, you can do it yourself and save your money.

Only after reading the instructions completely, you should go back to the beginning and follow all the steps.  For example, if the instructions say to put fasten the screws in a particular screw hold, make sure to follow each step in the order it was presented.

It is really simple, so far, isn’t it?  After your satellite dish is assembled, you’ll need to check your signal using a signal meter.  A signal finder is very inexpensive and is one of the most useful tools you can have when pointing your satellite dish.  They can be purchased on eBay, Amazon.com or any electronics store.

Once you have found the location of your satellite using the signal meter, the only thing left is to connect the wires to your TV and check the quality of the signal.  At this time, you may need to move your satellite dish a little left or right or up and down to make sure the quality of the signal is the best for you.

Your first time pointing a satellite dish is the most difficult.  But, after doing it several times, you will find it is like riding a bike.  It’s easy, and you never forget how to do it.

After getting the signal and aligning your portable satellite dish you just go the menu, type your ZIP code and the dish receiver will automatically detect which satellites are available at the moment and receive a signal from that satellite.

Another thing to point out about pointing your portable satellite dish is that you should have a satellite dish stand. If you have bad weather, here’s what you need to do:

1. Find the place where you can protect your dish

2. Choose a place that is free from trees, rocks and other stuff to make sure the satellite would be visible from the sky.

Some people may find it difficult to read instruction and learn more by seeing how it’s done instead of reading it.  For you, I made a special video that will show you step-by-step how to point your satellite dish.

Post was edited by my Friend.  He is interested in Fender Guitar Strings for all types and styles of Fender guitars.  Acoustic strings, Bass strings, Electric Guitar Strings.  Information about which types and styles of strings are best for your music style.
