dish driving me nuts

[patsfan72]

had an install for a 1000.4 dish scheduled today.tech showed up and said no way to get a line of sight,asked to get 1000.2 and said he cannot do it here(western mass).and left after about 5 minutes.now i do receive 61.5 so how much harder is it to point a 1000.4 to get 72.7 and 77.and why can they not put up 1000.2 here.

if you can hit the 61.5 its very rare not to have Line of site for the 72.7 and 77. the 1000.4 looks at 61.5... Get another tech out there!!

Was a tree or something in the way?
You can't get a 1000.2 Dish because the 129 is too low on the horizon in the northeastern USA.

i had 129 before and it worked fine,looks like i will have to buy a 1000.2 and put it up myself

I couldn't even get a signal at my house in North East PA. and with a dish angle of 18 degree ,I could understand why.
If you had the 129 before ,Why did you get rid of it?

Here is a map of where the 1000.2 excluded because of the horizon.

That map is prior to Ceil-2. The signal from 129 covers all of Florida now.

well the tech said there were tree issues with the eastern arc dish,but if i have 61.5 already how much harder is it to get 72.7.and this was after about and hour long phone call with dish trying to tell me that the best they could do for me was a repoint of my 61.5(not willing to lose my rsn for that).so i guess i will just wait and see if they get the other sat to the 61.5 location and see if they add any more hd to it.

Cool,
Maybe if we had an updated map from time to time.

The 1k4 dish needs a lot of space in order to get all 3 sats. 15.5 degrees. so if the trees are in the wrong place it is easy to have NLOS on a 1k4. I am not sure that dish has ever used 129 for anything in the northeast. It is to low in the sky.
