KVH Sat and Dish Network

[dickfrompasadena]

I can only find 1 satelite (119) when connecting my receiver to the sat dome. Could my KVH be configured for Direct TV or am I missing a step?

Thanks for your help..

Are you supposed to be set up for dish or direct? Is your dish set up with one lnb? Do you have anything blocking your dome from a full view of the southern skys?

I assume you understand that you dome can only see one satellite at a time. If you want to get to the 110 or 129 you will have to manually switch to these satellites. If you are finding 119 you are likely setup for Dish Net. as the default for DTV would be 101.

My previous Winegard and my current King Dome switches between satellites automatically when I change channels. I have Dish and it uses 110 and 119. I had to set the King Dome up for use with Dish before it would work. I don't think all models work the same way.

Thanks for your replies. I'm not sure how to switch between 119 and 110. When I do a check switch I only find 119.

There are quite a few versions of KVH domes and they all have different abilities. Check your owners manual to see if it has the ability to switch automatically, manually or at all. If you can't find an owners manual you will need to determine which model you have and call KVH tech. support to see what it can and cannot do. I don't believe that any of their units have the ability to automatically switch between all 3 satellites for the HD programming but the most advanced models might be able to get to 129 manually.
