rouphous,

I believe the receiver must be a 311 for dish network.
Call KVH 401-847-3327 and ask tech services aboutthe problem and readout. Mine has been functioning well for three years.

Did you go to the 211k menu screen and run "check switch" at least two times? If not the R4SL doesn't know what satellites it's supposed to look for.
