Called Dish network and they are sending a tech on Saturday. I switched the cables between Port 3 and 4 (of DPP44) and it didn't make any difference.

I am stuck at work and it's dark outside. I won't be able to post the SS data till tomorrow morning. Is it a good idea to switch the cables between Port 3 and 4 so that 118.7 goes into Port 4 before I note down the SS data?

Could you please tell me how to do this correctly? 1. Is it OK to check/use "SuperDish" or do I need to check/use "Alternate" on the Installation Summary screen before I collect the SS data? 2. Is this process correct? - pick a satellite, for each tpn - write down the SS and repeat for...

Does anyone know what the big/circular/spiral/glass-front LNB (on the second Dish - Dish2.jpg) is called? Is it possible to get the specs/install docs for it? Is it a legacy LNB?

When I asked the tech about low signal strength, he told me that it was normal to get aroud 50% signal from international satellites since the signal was coming from my country :D Unfortunately, that signal was good enough to get the channel I subscribed to and I couldn't argue with the tech.

Yes, it is the SuperDish sporting the big LNB and the additional LNB. I could not get a snap showing the label on the Dish.

The images are captured on Vip211 and I have another 322 receiver.

So, am I correct with the following statements?: The dish in the first picture is pointed to 61.5 (Port 4 on the Switch marked Dual). The second dish uses the big/strange LNB to get both 118.7 and 119. The other single LNB attched to it is for 110. Is this the best way to get the...

Is it accurate to complain to Dish that - 1. Wrong LNB is installed to get 118.7 2. DPP44 is not connected properly I am curious and I will be garteful if someone here can explain how to correct this installation. What kind LNBs are those installed with Dish 2 (Dish2.jpeg)? Can some...

Yesterday, Dish Network install guy came and installed/upgraded the Dish(s) on my roof. The upgrade was necessary to get the subscribed channels from the following satellites: 110 119 118.7 61.5 He installed two dishes on the roof (Images are attached - Dish1 and Dish2). Added a DPP44...

I don't have DirecTV subscription any more. I got out of it with no penalty :) I am very happy with Dish and the Off-air UHF antenna.

Thanks for the link. I am interested in getting sports/international channels. It looks like I need to run a seperate cable between a new dish and the FTA receiver. I will not be able to do that immediately. In the mean time, I am interested in experimenting with whatever I get on Dish 500...

I have an active/subscribed Dish 500 system and I would like to know what is the best FTA receiver to use (along with my existing dish network setup)? I am leaning towards Viewsat 2000 Ultra There is one cable outlet and can I just use a splitter and feed both the Dish receiver (Vip211) and...

So, there is no commitment required if someone signs up for non HD service/package because he would be getting a standard reveiver (for each room)?

I recently signed up for Directv service (1 HD Receiver, 1 standard reveiver). I am happy with the programming and the installation. However, I don't like the 24-month commitment part. I would like to purchase the HD receiver (from a 3-rd party such as ebay) and return the original HD...

The installer was very good and I am very happy with the installation. I couldn't believe the quality of OTA channels.. I am about 30-50 miles from the local transmitters and I get them clean and crisp (UHF channels only). I am thinking of purchasing the HD Receiver on ebay and return...

I like fixing the crap and making it work. I called Directv and asked them to cancel the order if they can't install it sooner. Well, they want to install it on friday (08/04). :) I hope the installer will get the OTA antenna installation right...

I subscribed to Directv yesterday(08/01) and they scheduled my installation to happen on 08/22. Is this usual? I came to know about this schedule after calling Directv 4 times. I am tired of waiting on hold and I am wondering if 3 weeks of waiting period is usal. I am thinking of...

The NORTH facing opening is NOT exactly in the corner of the building but the pole mount can extend a bit outwards. NC kids are well-behaved and I don't need to worry about them :) SEARS and a couple of local/independent satellite installers offer VOOM service here in Charlotte, NC. I...

I live in a apartment complex (ground floor). The patio has open space facing NORTH direction. I don't have any previous experience with satellite TV receivers. I more worried about OTA HD signals from the local stations. I hate my cable company. They increased my cable bill 4 times in a row...
