    Should I switch the Dishes (Western Arc to Eastern Arc)

    I think the most important thing that you should concern yourself with is whether you need to get local and international channels. I live two miles from the Atlantic Ocean. I used to have 110 and 119. Then along came HD and Dish put up another dish for 61.5. Last year they came and...

    Burning Smell

    I would spend time trying to track where it came from. Navychop had good suggestions. I will add check the wall switches too. I had to replace those after years of service. I could hear some of them sizzling like bacon frying.

    -Which is better v or g box

    Can't say anything about the G-Box because I never had one. My first V box overheated and burned up. Literally, caught on fire after in use for over a year, I think the cause was a short in the power transformer. My second one has been in use for over a year and I have no problems. I'm using...

    Audio drop outs

    Came late to this thread (after 203) I noticed audio drop outs after a program has gone to a commercial and then came back ( a sec or two) Is this the issue?

    help for a complete novice

    Look in the C-Band discussion area for tutorials. What you described is a C-Band LNB Coaxial and the three 16-3 wires are for the servo to control the polarity. The activator 12 gauge is to move the dish and the other 16 are for the sensors

    C/Ku LNBF settings ?

    Sorry I didn't see Stargaze reply. It tells it all

    C/Ku LNBF settings ?

    Depends on your LNB. You may be looking for Universal for Ku and turn on the 22kHz

    DMX741U

    Do you have the 22kHz turned on?

    Ku on a 8-footer

    I would go one step further. Go straight to Ku side without any switches until you can lock in

    Trouble Switching between C and Ku Channels on Openbox s10 with BSC621-2 lnb

    Thanks johrr. This is the first time I have seen someone saying that there was a bug in the firmware. Mine didn't work but I was fortunate to have two coaxs running so I didn't have to use the 22kHz switch.

    VBOX-X versus VBOX 7

    Shankle I agree with stanleyjohn. I have a Vbox. I had a Uniden which moved the dish as well as the polarity. When it gave up the ghost I went with the V-Box but it could only move the not the polarity. I had to get a new LBN as well

    please help ID my dish...

    Just curious. Looks like you added more ribs. Also since you "modded" it why do you need info on who made it?

    Vbox X Hiccup

    nicknjen - Just got my AZbox and this is what I noticed when trying to move the C Dish thru the Vbox. Moves two clicks when changing channels. Haven't really try to set the unit up properly I'm been just trying to learn it. Switched from a Pansat 9200HD

    OTA signal always lost when Satellite signal is lost

    Dish came and put up a new dish, left the old ones. What to do?

    They did the same with me; left two dishes, one for 110/119 and one for 61.5. Replace with one for 61.5/72/77 EA

    Dish Execs take a pay cut...

    For exec pay, one has to look at total compensation not just base pay. Poverty is spreading

    1k4 plus 119???

    Dish installed the EA dish a few weeks ago. I had a dish for 61.5 and one for 110/119. My locals are on 119 but I don't subscribe (Salisbury and Dish are at odds) so for me it didn't matter.

    BBC World News TV Channel

    I get my news from channel surfing because the "reporting" is not the news but bias editorials. Going to different stations smooths out the bias. Can't say I would watch it for a long time as that would interfere with newspapers and magazines for a more in depth analysis. Keeping informed...

    DISH Upgrade

    Received a letter from Dish stating that they wanted to upgrade my equipment. Namely my dishes. I have a dish which gets 110 and 119, also a dish for 61.5. They want to come and installed one dish for 61.5, 72 and 77. Looks like more moving of channels in the works. The locals are on 119...
