Not really I had NFLHD for the entire 2005-06 season and it was on 9464, sat 110. So if it was a preview then it was a pretty long one! To move it to another satellite and make it inaccessible with a customers existing hardware is not acceptable. Ever since my dish got stolen I have been...

I have been a Dish subscriber with a 942 dvr for more than 2yrs with top120 & the old $9.99 HD pack. I used to have two dishes but the one pointing towards 61.5 got stolen. Since I did not watch international programming anymore I did not bother to replace it. I just discovered that the NFLHD...

I would sell it if it was mine :) I'll return it to my friend, since I separated it from his spare dish500. I did read something about first pointing it at one of the sats and then going from there. I'll try it out when I get the DPPlus twin. Btw, I bought it from the ebay seller.

Thanks RandallA. Is there a guide to how to orient a dish for 119/110 somewhere online? Can I do it with the receiver and the azimuth/elevation or do I need some other hardware? The pdf link was useful to understand how to hook it up.

It probably was option2. Huh...the free DishPro twin is no use then. I am looking at $49+shipping for a DDPlus :( How difficult is to orient a dish towards the 110/119 satellites? I am planning to turn the 61.5 dish after I replace the LNB to save myself some trouble.

Well, when I had the 2 dish setup, I remember it being combined with a multi-switch but it definitely wasn't the dp44. I just looked at the switch online and it looks big & is quite expensive. Hmm...maybe I was wrong about my old setup &the 110/119 satellite had a DPPlus Twin LNB. In that case...

Wow. I was told that it is taking 30 days from the order date for the 622 to be delivered. I decided not to order because of that. Is this normal to get it that fast or did he just get really lucky?

I got lucky and found a friend with a spare dish500 with twin LNBF. Problem is I have a Dishplus separator splitting the single cable to the 942 inputs. How do I hook up a Dishpro twin LNBF to a DPPlus separator? Is there a cheap multi-switch I can buy at a local retailer? Also, I will be...

Harold, I would like to install it myself but since its an apartment I am limited to where I can mount it. Both the dishes were mounted on poles buried just outside my patio with tripod supports. I would rather not dig & install another one now. So I would like to use the 61.5 dish which is...

I called local retailers. I am looking at atleast $200 for dish & labor. I am thinking of 2 options both involving ebay. - Replace the dish500 with dual lnb's. What switch would I need then? Or can I eliminate the switch if I don't want to hook up the 61.5 satellite...

I just realized after coming home that the case is reversed. The dish stolen was pointed at 110 & 119. I have only one receiver, a 942. It looks like I am stuck with replacing this Dish at full cost now :( Is there any hope of getting a used Dish500 with 2 LNBs?

I had a dish network setup with 2 dishes, one pointing at SW with a single LNB and another pointing SE with 2 LNBs. The first dish got stolen along with the multi-switch during the weekend. From what I remember the stolen dish would've pointed at 61.5 pulling in some locals & CBS HD. I only...

dragon002 Last time I checked they had the really large multi-element CM antennas. Do you know of local B&M stores selling the platinum HD series or even the square shooter? Also, what is the difference between a pre-amplifier and amplifier for antenna use? Is one better than the other?

I finally went up and checked the antenna & from below I see a mark saying "amplified". Also, the power supply says power injector which leads me to believe I have the amplified version. I am unable to tune the VHF channel and 1 or 2 UHF since the last 2 days. I need a more powerful antenna now.

Both the models look the same from the photo. I would guess that the power supply differentiates it. Do you know where the supply would be hooked up? External attached to the pole or inside near the connection to a tuner? I read on this forum that a power supply PS-9370 can be used to amplify...
