    Dish Security Conversion Schedule

    to sandman: if you lived nearby you would need just one share of stock to attend DN meetings- I used to trade it btw.

    Planet Green and Diy in Dish 100 package?

    These are free monthly channels- channel 102 will tell you - good luck. (not part of package apparently)!

    Downgrade Fee

    About 8 eight years ago when they had lots of distant locals it was the 5 dollar charge which discouraged changing - then Charlie wanted us to get Nashville channels for sports but it was too late - no more distants by a new law.

    HD PQ Question

    When DISH first put up HD there was a great deal of discussion of HD lite- I'm not as expert as some posting then or others posting now- but I thought 1920 x 1080 was doable (before Japan was talking about 4x the resolution in a new standard - don't know the exact numbers). I noticed HD channels...

    Please! Help Needed

    I just saw this whole thread - I thought of skew right away (when I move lnb in and out as opposed to slight rotation it just changes effectively antenna position) when I went from 1 meter to 36" dish for sat. at 123 degrees my signal strength went down noticeably- 33" only - I'd expect...

    All American Network Change

    NY - numbered 241, 243, and 247... Yes mine have switched ( I don't qualify for ABC but that should be changed with final June transition to no analog OTA) so I have channels 2, 4, and 5 - picture quality seems a bit better. Note I still don't get DISH network just All American Direct...

    Digital Transition killing OTA signal strength.

    @ Des Moines, I could be wrong, but I think analog 17 and 23 are gone also.

    need local channels

    I can't help with "moving" but I still get all american direct.com (no DISH) which is seemless on my older dish receiver - have 3/4 networks for 10 bucks a month now.

    sadoun/disEqc switch

    So early on Thursday morning I ordered via the internet the s-ds41c , 4 X 1 switch and I received it Sat. afternoon from Sadoun. All I had to do besides plugging it in was set the software on the receiver to the 4 way diseqc switch. Only 2 lnbs/sats are hooked up but may use all 4...

    Is adjusting your dish every 6-9 months "normal"?

    HEllo, My 2 stationary dishes are changed to new satellites every once in a while (not real rigid) so if one set in place for 6 months with all the weather it would probably be a record for me - (that's good in my opinion)! (my record maybe 4 months).:up

    Down With The 3ABN Dish, Back To Fortec Star 80CM!

    Just want to say my 3abn dish is different and it's over 4 years old - and didn't have the problems you did - mainly "Peter" problems with sore back, moving it many times, and being lazy with regards to solid pole mounts not cemented down...:confused:

    Moving To Mexico....dish Set Up??

    Do not mess with the FEDERALES - oh oh!

    signal strengh 50, is it normal?

    To me 50 is way too low - a bit of rain and wind could cause picture loss.

    Friday FTA Fun Poll 4/18

    I'd put the 36" back on pipe over (flooded) storm cellar to get 30 degrees west - hispasat c. It's right at the horizon (between zero and 5 degrees elevation) and I inverted the dish before - but they have nice floor shows on one of their channels where the Spanish women "forget " to wear...

    E* billing issue

    It's really too bad when a company screws up and we're supposed to get legal assistance to fix their mistakes - lawyers can be very effective and also very expensive ( my cousin the lawyer died 3 years ago from metastasized breast cancer at 56) - Maybe it's a good you sent back...

    Fired from dish.

    Ergen I'm sorry whenever people get fired in the new AmeriKa. However, I'll always remember some things C. Ergen said in the past, like he's just "trying to earn a living" with all his billions - gotta be a better job for you in the near future! Peter in (?) Iowa

    Audit Department HELL!

    Some people in the public just don't get how screwed up this company and Charlie are. Why should a satellite tv, high-tech company, know how to deal with advanced technological CELL phones ?

    G10 satellite need help!!!

    I hate to say it, but with my amateurish setups, sometimes my wires can be loose, or cut, or other problems - just with wiring (once a wire was cut w/mower)... suggest you check that too...

    Audit Department HELL!

    DISH has missed the boat, and will not follow their own rules anymore, and said rules have gotten ludicrous. They were a good company once and I traded their stock a lot 5 years ago, and was a customer once for 6 years.

    Sky Angel Plans to Charge Lifelong Subscribers for "Special Secular" Channels

    current thoughts I have not logged on for a month, and just read this entire thread... In mho, SA should not have charged but also people should not sue; however, I no longer subscribe to any satellite service except the Atlanta/SF private package. There are 2 ku band antennas (31 and...
