Setting up satellite dish

What receiver model are you using? If your receiver is not an HR54 or H44, are you ensuring that you are using a SWM power inserter to power the SWM LNB? Moreover, make sure you have a clear line of sight to the satellites (download the Satellite Pointer application on your device and point it toward the southern sky, looking to see if 99, 101, or 103W are obstructed by trees or other objects). Other things to ensure are that the elevation is set properly, the dish pole is completely LEVEL, and the dish itself is not warped or bent in any way. 

Thank you for your help.  I discovered late this morning that I need a SWM power unit after borrowing one from a neighbor’s system.  Completely solved the problem.  Have,one on order from Amazon to be delivered Tuesday.  

Be aware since this is not a proper setup, you will not have the correct access to your locals or Regional Sports Networks (RSNs). This is because they are spot beamed to their approved area.

Each residence is supposed to have their own account and equipment. This way locals, RSNs, and the taxes you are required to pay match correctly to the address. If you ever do the proper Movers order for a 2nd home account, you can suspend each one for up to 6 months in a 12 month period. That way everything lines up.

Strange as you should have gotten a 775 error code and SWM not detected. 40 miles may still be in the local spot beam.

I was thinking the 40 miles was in relation to a known city, popular for non-winter climate, not their actual home. As seems too short a distance to go for a winter home. But perhaps I misinterpreted it.
