    FS: Coolsat 5000 Platinum

    I purchased this on the forum several months ago in hope of starting to mess with FTA. However, I have had zero time, and probably won't for the forseable future..so putting it back up on the block. It's in very good shape, with remote & manual. I did hook it up to my existing Dish Network...

    1000+ and 129 Problem; Need to Check Switch?

    Hello everyone, happy 09. I've had a 1000+ for quite some time with no major problems on 129..signal strength usually 15-20, not stellar but not bad. For the past few months it's been dropping very low, to the point where signal is lost. In addition, I noticed 119 dropped to the 60s where...

    FS: Xbox360 HD DVD Add-On

    Hello fellow 360 owners. I have an xbox 360 add-on that I've used a total of perhaps 4 times, purchased a month or two ago. It works perfectly, but I purchased a stand-alone A2 and don't see the need to stick with the 360 add-on. You will of course get the remote, and I did get 5 free...

    After purchasing my xbox hd dvd add-on, I sent in my Perfect Offer form for my 5 HD DVDs - this was early August.

    Problem with 622 - first biggie for me - timers/recording

    118 Detroit HD Locals pixelation question, 622

    I had a 1000+ installed a few months ago, and it has worked nicely for the most part. Recently (can't say for sure when it started) I've started to see pixelation problems on my HD locals (118). I've seen this on I think all of our HD local channels, about 1-2 times a minute or so I'll...

    FS: Dish 4900 Receiver

    Dish 1000+ install detroit area, signal strengths and potential switch error?

    After waiting for about a month (well, longer than that) I just had my 1000+ installed. The installed kept the 500 mast and put on the 1000+, said that is typical (however I thought I read that wasn't recommended). Anyway, first, when I go to Check Switch, then click on Details (622...
