    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    With regard to Saturday's mess, I strongly suspect that the tech was a Dish employee as he was in a DISH Network white van with official branding. On the phone making the order (thanks to this Forum) I asked for a 1000.2 and 1000.4 and spent forever describing my unfortunate situation. I thought...

    Complete debacle. Nice installer, English second language, so communication awkward, but at the end of the day, there is no way to get a third line from the Western dish to the receivers, and that is the only thing that helps. Changing the 500 to a 1000.2 means bypassing the 44 switch, so I left...

    THe tech is here now and scratching his head. He says I do not need a 1000 facing East, and I cannot get an explanation that makes sense about 72 and 77. Had a full head of hair when I woke up, and have pulled half out in the past half hour. He is assembling 1000 for the West facing dish now

    Sorry Krell and Laddy was traveling, thank you for the reply. I was lazy on my post, three 722's. The Dish team is coming out Saturday morning, I hope they are not afraid of heights, 23rd floor. I am really confused, as I keep hearing that I need three lines from the West Dish to the...

    Thank you Laddy. Talked to Dish Tech on phone today, and they can put the switch out by the dish, and run two receivers with the two lines from the outside switch to two of the three receivers in my living room. They will change the East facing dish to a 1000 also, and use that to run the third...

    You give me hope Laddy, am not sure why the techs did not figure that out here, but they were pretty confused. FYI, it seems to me that the switch is combining the East 61.5 signal with the two 110 and 110 from the West, and three lines go to the three receivers from the switch. I appreciate...

    No, they can get all three with the 100, but they said they did not have enough lines going to the switch (and there is no way to add them after the build out). Of course, they may not have known what they were doing...

    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    Awkward Problem I have three receivers in my living room with three 50" plasma. Am in a condo with east and west facing exposure. Have two lines running to the West Dish 500 feeding to a switch centrally located, and two lines running from the East Dish feeding the same switch. Dish called...

    Dish 622 - $99 Upgrade Details

    So....if I understand the info in this thread correctly, after April 1st and before September, I can take my owned 942, and my two leased 942's, and swap them for three 622's at a net cost of 3 x $ 99. Then I will have three leased 622's (3 x $ 299) minus (3 x $ 200).
