Success! I bought a Radio Shack "satellite finder," unplugged the coax on the receiver, did the 6-1-1, zeroed out checkswitch, did the 6-1-1, set it on 119, used the meter until I got a strong signal, paged thru the transponders on 119 until I hit pay dirt, ran checkswitch again, and everything is good. I'm so used to eyeballing Direct TV & hitting the satellite thru a basketball-sized hole in the trees, I didn't realize the sweet spot on 119 is so relatively small on Dish. Plus the signal "strength meter" in the Dish menu options is waaay slower than on Direct. But, hey! I'm on my way to saving over $700 a year. That's about six tanks of diesel around here...
