Products Affected: TracVision M1DX, M3DX, M5, M7, M9

As a result of this change by DISH Network, customers who wish to receive programming from the 61.5°W satellite will need to implement the following modification depending on the antenna type:
TracVision M1DX or M3DX: The satellite tracking parameters must be modified by entering antenna commands using the Flash Update Wizard* as follows:
1. Connect your laptop to the TracVision antenna’s main board and turn on the system.*
2. Enter the commands listed below into the Wizard’s “Command Line” box:
