I am testing both BEV and Dishnet. My 2700 receiver is currently set to look for BEV sats at 91 and 82. Unlike DTV where you can get the signal without an access card, you need to have the card in the receiver to get the signal. This leads me to believe that the access card tells the receiver which satellite to look for, either Bell or Dishnet depending how the card has been programmed. Is this correct or is there some hard configuration in the receiver that determines which satellite to look for?
When I put a Dishnet access card in my receiver, the installation screen still looked for the BEV sats, which leads to me believe that I may be thinking about this incorrectly. Someone told me that you have to short the receiver by jumping a couple of points inside to "reset" the installation screen to look for the correct satellites, but that answer didn't seem complete as I was unsure what signal pointing screen would pop up once this short was effected. Any assistance is appreciated.
