Figured I would post this to maybe help someone else down the road.
See my original thread here:
Check switch fail - new installation.
It wasn't a check switch fail per se, even thought that's what the screen said. It actually identified the EA hybrid switch but had red "X"'s under the 61.5 and 72.7 signals so I started to think it might be a dish alignment problem.
Sure enough I found this post: Pointing the eastern arc LNB Hybrid/1000.2
Post 10 said I needed to be 5* less in azimuth to see the birds. I hooked up my cheap sat finder but with the new hybrid LNB it was pegged at the lowest gain as soon as I attached the cable.
Soooo, I connected the LNB to the receiver, moved the dish 5* and let it do it's thing. Low and behold it found the sats! Went to the signal screen and peaked them, it's now programming the memory.
Don't know if having a 1000.4 EA dish is the reason for this or not, Solid Signal says the EA Hybrid LNB is good only for the 1000.2, not sure what the difference is if any.
