PBArmy Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 I hear my satellite "searching" for signal in the middle of the night. I'm not watching TV, the Wally is OFF, but the Winegard is "moving." Anyone else experience this? Quote US Army (Retired) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durangodon Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 It could be searching for the proper satellite to either record a program you requested or to do an update. Or, it could be haunted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D&J Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Both my Tailgater and now my Wingard X2 does the same thing, its the reciever keeping up to date not the dish moving on it's own, the reciever is never powered down unless it's unplugged. I've learned to limit it by leaving the reciever turned on and just turn off the TV and leaving the reciever on a channel that's using 110 satilite but it will still shut down at night and download the guide.

You are correct. Thanks! I don't really want to disconnect it just to eliminate the "noise" as it takes too long to "power" back up!

LRKDRV7.3 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I have a winegard roadtrip on my 2009. We set up 2 wally's and everything was great for 2weeks. We lost some channels and thought dish had dtopped broadcasting them. Turns out we lost 119 satelite We are on northeast zone Then we lost all satelittes Multiple time on phone we only have local basic channels and 61.5 and 110 will not lock in.we are stationary since april 1 Dish referred local techs who do not answer phone number we were given in northeastern suburbs of Detroit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXiceman Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 We found that we get much better service from Winegard than from Dish.
