I use my old single LNB dish for the RV. I replaced it on the home with the 3 LNB type. I just grab one of the home receivers when we take the RV out. It requires a couple setting changes on the menu, check the zip code for correct pointing and I am in business. The biggest problem seems to be when setting up the dish. If I make sure it is level first and foremost the rest seems to go easy. I have found that you really need to use the compass to get the correct direction (azimuth) for the correct satellite. I have found signals near the correct azimuth but they are usually different satellites and will not work. So; set menu first, level dish, use compass for correct azimuth and finally adjust elevation for best signal. You can use the on screen signal meter but I found it is easier to use a signal strength meter at the dish. Do not skip a step and if it doesn't work go back to the beginning and make extra sure each step is completed correctly before going to the next. Works every time!
