SatelliteGuys November 19th Live Dish Retailer Chat Recap

[Hemi 6.1]

A 500 will not work for 72.5 & 77, the spacing from the lnb's is closer together. Pretty much have to use a 1000.4 to get both 72.5 & 77 on a single dish.

Or 3 seperate Dishes ,which is kind of dumb right?

Ok so does the DVR feature work on 411's just like the 211's? Does the one time fee of 39.99 included both of my receivers or do I need to pay a fee for the 411 and the 211?
There is NO Monthly DVR fee correct so its the one time $39.99 fee and that's it?

I have been thinking about getting a DVR but I might wait for this new 922 that they have been talking about some.

[Smith, P.]

yes; yes; yes

922 ? - in couple years

[mruk69]

You mean SOON.

Louisville is now officially an Eastern Arc preferred setup. Cheap and easy to add a wing dish to the existing customer's 1000.2 dish. New HD customers will get the EA dish as well as existing ones willing to pay for it themselves. I installed a 77 wing dish and all nine locals are now on 77 except there are no SD versions of the three HD locals.

But who wants a 2nd dish on their house? Not me. In my situation, 10 years ago, they mounted the dish on my chimney, which at first I didn't really care for. But it has grown on me. The problem is that to get the EA, the dish would have to be mounted on the opposite side of the chimney & would probably require all new cabling from the dish to the receivers. No thanks. I ran the cabling myself because I did not want installers falling through my ceilings or screwing up things in the crawl space. Now I am too old to crawl around on my stomach & duck walk in the attic.
