1. Started to install the Winegard Gateway but, of course, our 262rb didn’t conform to instructions. In the instructions and multiple videos, the power lead is a loop. Not ours!! It is a terminal wire with cutoff end. The wire doesn’t conform to standard color coding: a solid white conductor, and a white/green conductor. There is also a purple cable that might be a coax, but can’t be sure [of course]; it might not be associated with the 360+ and Gateway. If you don’t use the switch included with the Gateway, the Gateway stays hot all the time; one video from Keystone said the solar panel powers it, so you don’t need a switch.…that you can turn it off with the battery disconnect. Common sense says the Winegard plate behind the TV should turn it on/off, but it didn’t. I still haven’t discovered what the Winegard plate controls: one for ‘antenna power’ and one for ‘wifi power’. That screams 360+, one would say. But, in Alliance’s infinite wisdom, they don’t provide instructions/info. I’ll call Winegard tomorrow, but they won’t know what Alliance did…just like I don‘t. It seems Alliance goe out of its way to make life miserable for customers. 2. Rechecked coax continuity with my tester out to the end of the dish antenna cable: connects, but will not lock onto a satellite, and the Wally won’t go into its intended upload sequence. Yepper….must be a splitter in there! Everyone KNOWS that is a nonstarter.
