    HughesNet Crosspolling

    I do notice that the assembly is slightly warm to the touch. I'll see if the wet cloth over the assembly helps out the next time I'm out. I'd still like to find out why the heat might be throwing the crosspol numbers off. What would be the science behind it.

    HughesNet Crosspolling

    I have a scenario where after performing scores of the same type of antenna point and crosspol, my crosspol numbers seem to decrease as the day progresses. Same satellite, same type dish, same general area (give or take 5-10 miles). Generally in the mornings, crosspol numbers of upper 80's are...

    Which Hughes Satellite(s) Does This Point To?

    Which Hughes satellite(s) does this point to? The IDU is a HN7700S. And what type LNB (Invacom/wattage) is this? Thanks.

    Bad experience today for Hopper 3 install..

    I get the feeling that even if the technician called, and there was snow outside, this customer would have still instructed the technician to come out to attempt the installation since he had taken half a day off from work. Dish isn't going to cancel a potential upgrade due to a possibility of...

    DISH Introduces My Tech

    What have you been doing for all of your life? Accepting people/repair personnel into your home that you know nothing about. Who doesn't work for a large corporation in another state? If your TV has been out for two days and your wife and three kids are all standing behind you 'mean mugging'...

    DISH Introduces My Tech

    It will probably just be another novelty used by those hyper-tech sort of consumers that like new toys. Dish Network's brand of customer, for the most part, just aren't that up to speed. Heck, we'd still be on the "keep your TV on channel 3", issue were it not for the discontinuation of coaxial...

    DISH Introduces My Tech

    Are contractors/subs required to have GPS location devices in their own vehicles for this feature, or is this only for in-house technicians? Wouldn't that be walking that fine line again between employee status and contractor status? Or is Dish just requiring their direct contractor to do it...

    What's this unusual LNB configuration called?

    Each of the outputs on your older model represents outputs for each of the four received satellites (110/118/119/129) to feed individually into a separate required dpp44 switch. The dpp44 switch combines all four of those satellites and feeds to combined four satellite signals to a maximum of...

    DISH Network Reports First Quarter 2015 Financial Results

    Earning more money with fewer subs is pure math. Either you are taking more in off of those fewer subscribers or you are spending less. My guess is that its a little bit of both. Nickel and dime your existing customer's with an additional $1 for a late fee, or a few bucks more for an Everything...

    Need wiring help for a vip 722k receiver and dish

    Go back into the modulator menu on the 722k rcvr and turn off the TV1 channel. Usually if you've done the channel scan at the TV location, and the TV1 and TV2 modulated output is enabled from the 722k rcvr, your TV2 will pick up channel 75 and 73. Those are the default modulated cable channel...

    Wing Dish Question.

    If your locals aren't on 129, you could also try pointing to 61.5W. That's if trees aren't blocking that southeasterly direction. It's at a significantly higher elevation than 129W.

    Cracked LNB

    Just put a bag over it. Clear or black. It won't affect the signal. Our local Spanish-speaking friends have been doing it for years. Only foil will block the signal coming in. Or your hand (water content in your hand). I used to experiment with cardboard, paper, plastic, etc, and the signal will...

    OTA Diplexer question

    Run your OTA and TV2 signal into the out ports of a two way splitter, not a diplexer. Neither of those two signals will run through the sat port of a diplexer. In the bedroom, place the cable directly to the TV. Most OTA channels will be in the lower channel range. The trick is to select a TV2...

    New install questions

    Don't forget that when needed, you can take that wireless joey to that 4th room. You made a good choice on the equipment.

    Satellite TV Bills to increase

    Satellite TV Bills to increase

    Wide open orbital slots/space over the equator as in 'the geosynchronous orbit around the earth'. I didn't think I had to spell that out. My apologies to our short bussers.

    Adding 118

    You cannot receive 118.7 with your current DPP Twin or DP Twin lnb. 118.7 is a lower-powered sat that has to be picked up using a DPP500+ lnb. You can point your current dishes in the general direction all day. Without the DPP500+ lnb to convert the weaker 118.7 FSS signal, you'll never get it...

    222/222K News

    Getting rid of the 222 series also cuts out the mirrored TV option. Which makes the 222 rcvr even more of a value. Splitting the TV2 feed to a 3rd or 4th room gives someone visibility to the programming in those additional rooms without paying additional fees for more 211 rcvr. You know TWC and...

    Satellite TV Bills to increase

    It seems like cable companies have been screaming for years about the 'inequality' of them having to pay the extra fees for providing their service. I see their eagerness to 'level' the playing field as just a stop gap measure to narrow the pricing divide between cable companies and DBS...

    How do you tune in duo EA 1000.4 lnb with super buddy?

    DPP twin supports two single tuner rcvrs, two dual-tuner rcvrs, or a combination of the two. 1000.2 Eastern Arc lnb does the same, just for three combinations of rcvrs. Hence, the three outputs.

    Dish internet question?

    More often than not, I get call backs from frustrated customers I've installed about slow speeds when streaming video or downloading large files over satellite internet. Also, many complaints about the advertised 10GB plan that really breaks down to 5GB anytime and 5GB between 2am-8am. As well...

    Do I need to ground a dish that is sitting on the ground?

    With all that being said about NEC codes, hillbilly installers, you must ground or not.....Dish Network is still allowing apartments, condos, and RV's to be installed every single day, ungrounded, and they collect monthly fees from these customers. If it were such a liability and such a...
