    Trying to get a straight answer

    The foregoing isn't altogether clear to me either- DiSH Duo (2 sat tuner) receivers such as ViP722 are settings-switchable for either solo operation or dual independent users. Set for solo operation it outputs only as TV1 on all outputs including the modulator that can cable to extra rooms. This...

    Their best chance would have been to move aggressively online, or to have bought Amazon early on.

    Something To Chew On

    There are 2 versions of the (DPP) Triple LNBF (it's not itself called a '1000' afaik), both of which fit the newer 1000 dish. Putting the WA (Western Arc) Triple on it makes it a 1000.2 while putting the EA Triple on makes it a 1000.4. There may be specialty adaptors to mount a Twin or Single...

    Do they have to limit viewing by DMA? As we know it, that shouldn't matter with offair.

    That's where a skew fine-tuning may come in.

    Something To Chew On

    Think I forgot about the early 1000 that did a 500 Twin with a 300 off to the side. That should have been a DiSH 800 then, right? For the 500 dish the most important pre-setting is the skew angle, otherwise azimuth & elevation adjustments won't give you both orbital locations once you find...

    Something To Chew On

    Not to be too obvious, but you do have a skew setting that has to be pretty much dead-on in order to receive the multiple sats together. There's actually no need for a 1000 anymore with the elimination of 129, and the D500 will probably give you better performance for 110/119. Swap to D500 and...

    Dish Letter for outdated equipment

    Actually aren't uphill inclines even easier for an EV than for a gasser? They're inherently torquey.

    Dish Letter for outdated equipment

    Why didn't they just back off in the first place and let you keep your 211s? $579.98? I've heard of bad bills, but....really, are you kidding us?

    Speaking of toons lately, Has anyone watched the classic 1972 Fritz The Cat?

    Yep, remember 'em coming out. Was too young for 'em, though. Some things are just pure 70s

    Speaking of toons lately, Has anyone watched the classic 1972 Fritz The Cat?

    I remember when this came out, in the classic theatrical porno-flick era before home video or XXX satellite. Quite the novelty to have an animated dirty movie with a cartoon cat.

    Do moviehouses still run X-rated material, or has that all gone to video & online?

    Dish Letter for outdated equipment

    Back in the early DiSH days if a rx went bad the cx had to get an R/A #, box up & send in the rx (on own dime) and wait for a replacement, or else go through a dealer who could immediately replace it and then the dealer would do all of that. But they were getting away from dealers as quickly as...

    Dish Letter for outdated equipment

    I know they normally operate by sending out a rx in advance for replacement (advance exchange), but is it possible to actually just send them one for repairs and wait on a fix or replacement?

    Dish Letter for outdated equipment

    In addition to that being highly anecdotal, most of the EV owners involved were very inexperienced in managing their vehicles for the cold, such as by not running batteries as far down and by allowing for "preconditioning" warming of battery cells prior to starting charging.

    Dish Letter for outdated equipment

    "Impossible" it certainly isn't, though to do it in continuous driving probably is. DC fast charging can easily put over a couple hundred miles worth of juice in the battry over a leisurely lunch. A lot of us have a road warrior mentality of putting the miles behind us when probably for both our...

    Glare causing loss of signal

    A switch (connected at receiver) may be needed for changing polarity if running single coax and an LNBF design that uses a voltage change between 13 & 18 to change from H to V polarity.

    How can equipment be "outdated" if it is still supported with no as-yet indication of stoppage of said support?

    Signal Protector

    But if they had this 25 years ago there would not now be DiSH. I would predict that steaming capabilities will continue to sophisticate and that all of the convenience capabilities as seen with DiSH DVR will eventually come.
