"Then choose 129 (if you have HD, and I hope you do), then adjust the skew (4 nuts, and rotate like a steering wheel) until you have good signal on 129. if the arm isn't bent all to hell (like mine) 110 shouldn't change at all."
"Really helped to find the signal really quick."
"I found the satellite within 5 minutes after it was hooked up."
"This satellite finder work fine."
"I ended up trial and error guided by the signal detector on the TV screen."
"The first time that I used the device, it worked ok and I was able to peak my dish on FTA satellite G-19."
"DirecTv dish and receivers."
Very powerful Digital Satellite Signal Meter Finder which is able to find satellites in a very quick way about within 15 minutes if no accident. Connect a jump cable from LNB to the satellite finder's "Satellite" port. Plug in the AC cord and turn on the satellite receiver. c> Set the dB to be 1 or 2 by ATT button, the signal LED will show from 15 to 30, then you can adjust the dish postition, when you hear the buzzer alert and the value of signal strength getting more and more, it means you get the statellite signal. d>. PS: work great with directv hd swim signal; it uses 2X1.5v lithium batteries.

"It works ok but just use the signal meters in the directv setup and they are really all you need."
"Works great, but, don't forget and leave it outside, its not waterproof, DUH!!"
"A must have for aligning satellite dishes while working at the dish."
"Didn't work, missed the 30-day return window as I didn't install dish immediately."
"By that time it was past the return date, so be sure to use it multiple times and if it stops working and smells burnt, return it immediately!"
"Did not work."

It is not the manufactures of these dishes fault for the loss of HD, but it it the way DirecTV delivers their signal. If you must have HD with DirectTV you must purchase a Winegard Traveler which will cost more then a grand more then this dish and it will have to be permanently mounted on the roof of your RV. You can use this model with dish network, but you will need to by the King UC1000 universal controller for less then a hundred dollars. I hope this helps you understand the local programming and maybe you will not have to spend the hours of research I did before I bought the King Quest."
"After some Internet research, I discovered a recommended iPhone app for locating the satellites in the sky--it turned out all the Dish Satellites were behind trees where we were parked, so that was the problem all along! There is another app I have used which is also good but shows all the satellites and was confusing for me, it is called Satellite Locator."
"I have thrown in the towel and ordered a Winegard, which can be used with the 211z receiver. [Update April 20] I received the new satellite dish today from Amazon, the Winegard Dish Playmaker. After rebooting the receiver, the Winegard locked onto the 3 satellites and I was up and running with all channels, including locals, coming in perfectly in HD -- no choppiness, no drops, no defaulting to SD. After a couple of hours, it started raining and the dish was still pulling in everything perfectly. It wasn't the 211z receiver, it wasn't Dish network, it wasn't customer service, it wasn't the U.S. Air Force -- it was the lousy King product. [Update May 2017] I decided to remove the dome of the King dish (don't do this, it voids your warranty if you still have one) to see what could have caused my bad experience."
