    Eastern Arc Breaking up.

    A couple of months ago my university changed over from individual Dish receivers to the Smartbox. Ever since then we have had problems with the Eastern arc Dish channels breaking up at night. We are using one meter dishes for each satellite and fiber optic cables from the roof to the Smartbox...

    Noob install: Dish 1000.4 Eastern Arc and a Super Satbuddy

    I just finished setting up my first Dish 1000.4 on the Eastern Arc with a Super Satbuddy meter and I'm concerned about the low numbers. With everything peaked I'm getting a signal strength on the 77 satellite at 78, the 72 at 65 and the 61.5 at 56. This is on the top of a building where there...

    VIP722 replacement receiver not receiving OTA UHF. VHF OK

    Recently I had to replace my VIP722 receiver. I had an OTA antenna connected to this receiver and it had no trouble receiving all of the Atlanta OTA channels and their sub-channels. When I got the replacement VIP722 receiver from Dish, I connected the same antenna and did a local channel scan...

    To any DIRT member....(Fox Sports South HD, and SportsSouth HD)

    I'm using two Dish 211 receivers to broadcast Fox Sports South HD and Sports South HD on our campus cable system. Since the channels on these receivers never changes they display a "Channel not Available" message when FSS and SS are off the air. The problem is that when they start broadcasting...

    411 receivers switching channels on their own.

    I have twenty 411 receivers that are providing programming to a college campus. 5 of the 20 keep switching channels on their own to the Dish Info channel (101) instead of staying on the channel they are supposed to be on 24/7. I've created a Favorites list in each receiver for the one channel...

    Would this work for a "Whole Huose DVR" solution?

    I have a network hard drive connected to the same home computer network that my 722k is connected to. Can I use it like an external drive and then view the recordings on my other networked 222k receivers?

    VIP-222 input

    I'm getting some pixalation on ESPN2 HD and a few other HD channels. I'm wondering if my receiver has sufficient input from the bird. I'm getting between 58 and 68. What is a "good" average signal level?

    NASA TV

    What model of satellite receiver is required to receive NASA TV? I know it has to be a digital receiver. Also, how does one bullseye a satellite that's only transmitting digital signals? The old receiver and a TV method of tuning a c-band dish won't work, right? I'm guessing it will involve...

    D11 receiver won't list international dish

    Im trying to set up my D11 receiver to receive the cricket matches. I have the DirecTV international dish installed and peaked, but the D11 receiver will not give me the option to set up an oval dish with 101 and 95 satellites (which is what the international dish is).

    I leave my 211 on 24 hours a day because it's in a public display area. I did the same thing with the 811 it replaced. Even with the "unattended" actions turned off, the screen saver pops up every day (I think in the wee hours of the morning when the guide refreshes). After discussiong this...

    What about the 411?

    It seems that in all of the discussions about Dish's new MPEG4 receivers that 411 never gets mentioned. The Dish Store still shows to have them in stock, so I guess they're still a part of the MPEG4 receiver family. I have an 811 and I thought the 411 was the MPEG4 repalcement. Am I...
