Sounds like DISH Network is stepping over dollars just to make pennies. Good luck staying in business.

Using the 18X20 dish Triple LNB Quad which port do you use and which satellite do you point to for best results? thanks.

Yes, it's normal.

So you don't have any HD programming through DISH? Strictly OTA? If you want the HD Pack I'm sure they'll make you subscribe to one of the new HD packages that just came out vs the old since they're not available anymore, and if you use your 921 you will lose nothing since you didn't have any HD...

I use a sat buddy and aim with a non-DPP LNB tuning in each orbital slot coming in on particular dish. I've tried the brick with DPP, and even though it's a little better with DPP than the sat buddy it's still no where near what a regular twin or dual lnb will get you. I've been strongly...

I would wait until the installer gets there to figure out the specifics. First thing is first. Do you have a line of sight from your exclusive area? (patio/balcony) If the answer is no, see what the apartment complex restrictions are for placement of the dish. If they will not allow the dish...

It's sad EchoStar's own don't know their operating equipment. But it's not like every CSR has a 721 in their living room. There are so many in the company that don't even have DISH, and if they do we have to pay for it just like everyone else so there's really no incentive for an employee to...

Here's a couple of articles for those interested in the camera work being done for Sunday. Good read http://broadcastengineering.com/newsletters/sports/20060127/Super-bowl-sunday-20060127/ http://www.tvtechnology.com/features/news/2006.01.25-n_abc.shtml

The 322 won't work to pass the local HD from the off-air antenna through. It's an analog tuner only, and a pointless hook-up to an HDTV. It will look the same if not worse than your basic analog cable. You need a 211 or 622 HD receiver. They'll be able to pick up the locals on the digital tuner...

Mark, Must HDNet display their name/logo on the screen during movies? The only network that doesn't is HBO. I'm sure your answer is name recognition/marketing, but we already know we are tuned to HDNet. I'm surprised this hasn't come up with the anti-downrezz people. I would think if people...

So with all of their expensive gear (like ESPN) then they must not fear any damage from any sudden surge during broadcasting? ...unless they use some other method of surge protection I suppose. Right now I'm watching the Lakers/Cavaliers game on TNT. Is this to say that none of their...

I installed a job today that was in a small RV park. There was some electrical service panels close by but ended up putting my ground block underneath the trailer since I had to come up through the floor. There was an existing ground wire connection to the frame so I attached my ground wire to...

There are three different types of DP+ twins out. The two heavy ones and a light weight one. I know one of the heavy ones is Sharp just like the regular DP twins of old, the other looks the same as the channel master quads but don't know if channel master still makes stuff since Andrew bought...

The DISH1000s suck. Ya they work, but you'll get better signal quality pulling in on two dishes. The main loss is in 119 and 110. not so much 129, even though more signal can be gained off one dish pointed at 129. If that makes sense.

That's what i'm wondering. Under that upgrade plan where it says $299 then $200 rebate, then total $99* the asterick by 99 mentions that it includes prof. install and dish upgrade if applicable, which I am taking "If applicable" to mean you pay the $99 whether you need the dish upgrade and prof...
