    Questions about the new XiP Receivers?

    You're correct. I was thinking Slinglink.

    Questions about the new XiP Receivers?

    I'd bet they're bringing the 5 dollar tv2 fees back since the XiP813 has 3 tuners and it can run a whole home. It's also the best incentive they ever had for connecting boxes. Sling adapter is being put out to pasture with this new system. It's gonna have a MoCA bridge with ethernet being...

    Snapdraft problems

    Has anyone figured out how we actually play Snapdraft fantasy football through the dish promo? I've created an account and can login and that's all. There's no link to make picks or go anywhere except to register new accounts. Am I just jumping the gun?

    New DISH Network Customer Portal

    The referrals section seems like it would be useful if I could find someone that wanted Dish.

    Team Summit Pics Video and Live Recap!

    By a lack of emoticon I'm going to assume your serious. Those little holes will immediately be filled with ice. If anything it'll probably be worse. Water runs off a solid piece of metal faster giving it less chance to freeze. They will help with weight and wind sheer effect. That matters with...

    XStreamHD Video

    I'm still a little fuzzy on the delivery. He said AMC 16 which is at 85.0W which means another dish. Theoretically I guess they could modify the 1000.4 LNB to pick that up if Echostar wanted to. Then you pick movies and shows from a EPG or a search function and they enter a queue. Since all this...

    Charlie Chat Recap 12.14.09

    Where you can find "DVR Scheduler" is on Directv's website. That's what they call their internet dvr scheduling service. Smooth move Charlie.

    Maybe he somehow got his hands on one of the new integrated 500+ LNBs.......or he slightly confused.

    E-14 Satellite and National HD

    They're in two different arcs so they won't affect each other. Nimiq-5 is going to be a CONUS sat at 72.7 going up next month for National HD allowing 61.5 to do spotbeams only.

    Landlord forcing us to remove dishes from patio/balcony

    It doesn't have to overhand the railing. The dish can be mounted on the interior of the railing. There is an actual railing mount with adjustable slides and dedicated bolts for the mast but I can't find a pic. Another way is to get 2 fascia plates and sandwich the rails while bolting the mast to...

    Landlord forcing us to remove dishes from patio/balcony

    Nobody seemed to mention the railing mount. If the railing of your balcony is sturdy enough there's a mount that has two steel plates that sandwich the rails and the mast attaches to that. It's a non-pen that is pretty common at some apartment complexes here.

    1000.2 + 61.5 Satellite Dish

    Just go look at the 500 dish. If there are not two seperate LNB's each having one "eyeball", coming out of the Y bracket then you have the wrong LNB. Sometimes if you go to your checkswitch screen it will say twin in the device row and that also would tell you if you have the wrong setup...

    dish pissed me off

    The advantage that other people that work on holidays have over technicians is they know when their work shift will end. If they're scheduled from 8-4 or whatever that's it. Tech's might have to work a 15 hour day if they get some nightmare jobs or have a 2 hour drive. Scheduling plans is pretty...

    How can a existing customer go Eastern Arc?

    You can't really run a 44sw off a 1k.4 dish. A wing dish to 61.5 or 129 will work.

    Super Satbuddy error

    Leave it on until the battery drains, then give it a full recharge. It's worked for me before.

    Can a DPP 33 be trunked off of a DPP 44?

    So if you are looking at 4 orbitals then you would need another DPP 44 sw and another power inserter for it to keep all your sats. Sidenote: DPP 33 can be trunked off a DP 34 switch as well.
