    Did anyone notice that it's not compatible with the Dish 1000.2 LNBF ?? It can't be compatible, the Dish 1000.2 doesn't exist in the real world... :) Laters, Mikef5

    Dish Network News from CEDIA

    So is there a reason that it's taken about 8 months to show it again and not have a production model out ??? Is there a parts shortage or something holding it up ?? I'm serious about dropping Comcast but I would like to have that reciever to feed 2 of my 4 HD sets. But what I'd really like to...

    Dish Network News from CEDIA

    Wasn't this shown at the last CEDIA show and didn't they say it would be out soon then ??? Didn't they show the 1000.2 Dish at the last CEDIA show and say it was going to be out soon ??? I'm begining to think Dish's soon is like what Comcast is telling us 550 MHz areas about when they will...

    FIRST LOOK: Dish 500+ Dish 1000+ and the Dish 1000.2!

    Will the 1000 plus run with a dpp34 switch or does it "require" a dpp44 switch ?? The reason I ask is, I only don't need sat 118 just 119, 110 and 129 and I'd like to avoid the 2 dish set up. It looks like the dish 1000.2 is MIA and I'm willing to buy my own plus dish to see if it helps with the...

    The troubles with 129 - A summary

    Does anyone know what the requirements are to get a Dish 1000 plus from E* ?? I know if your locals are on sat 119k then they have to install a 1000 plus but what else would get it ?? Laters, Mikef5

    1000+ Upgrade is a joke.

    Claude, I was just on the Dishstore web site and even though they list the 1000 plus dish in the side bar area, when you click on the link it doesn't show the dish at all. Is it shown somewhere else on their site ??? If so, could you provide a link to it ?? Laters, Mikef5

    FIRST LOOK: Dish 500+ Dish 1000+ and the Dish 1000.2!

    So do you track the shuttle with those ???? :p;) Actually, I've given up waiting on the new dishes to come out, I can always upgrade later. The only hold up now is Dish getting FSN-BayArea HD or the ending of the baseball season, which ever comes first. I just can't live without the Giants (...

    Food Channel coming in HD in June

    Racheal Ray is going to be doing a national network show in Sept. some time. Oprah is the money behind the show so I would guess it's going to be on ABC. Laters, Mikef5

    FIRST LOOK: Dish 500+ Dish 1000+ and the Dish 1000.2!

    Scott, Maybe I'm confused. I thought the plus dishes were suppose to be an upgraded 1000 and 500 to help with the low signal problem with sat 129 and that the 1000.2 was for the new sat at 118.7 and the international channels. Is this wrong ??? Isn't there a 1000 plus and a 1000.2 and what is...

    FIRST LOOK: Dish 500+ Dish 1000+ and the Dish 1000.2!

    My main reason for being picky on the mounting area is because I just had the roof redone and I don't want it screwed up and they're bocking at doing the chimney mount with the 2 dish set up but if this new dish 1000 plus will help with the signal problem from 129 then they shouldn't have any...

    FIRST LOOK: Dish 500+ Dish 1000+ and the Dish 1000.2!

    The link is to the dish 1000 plus not the 1000.2 and it says you have to purchase a Dish Pro Plus 44 switch for it. That's why I'm shocked that it's so expensive. Laters, Mikef5

    FIRST LOOK: Dish 500+ Dish 1000+ and the Dish 1000.2!

    To make a long story short. I originally wanted a 2 dish install but mounted on my chimney and not on the roof. They wanted to install a 1000, I said no but what about one of the new dishes that are coming out like the dish 1000 plus. He was shocked that I knew about them because they just got...

    Saw this link at another forum about the cost of the 1000 plus, here's the link http://sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Dishnetwork/Dishes/Dish-1000-Plus-Dish1000Plus.htm My question is did the original 1000 dish cost this much when it was first released ?? Laters, Mikef5

    Bay Area Quality now...

    Grandude, Not to nit pick but KPIX is CBS, KGO is ABC. I've noticed the lip sync errors on ABC with my OTA setup so it might be a station problem, I don't watch alot of ABC except for Lost or if they're showing a sports program. Also I noticed that there are drop outs once in a while on CBS that...

    Thanks Keenan, I'm still waiting for my install but I want to make sure the installers use the proper dish/dishes for our area. So it looks like the 2 dish option works best for the Bay Area ?? From all that I've read in this forum dish is pure heaven compared to the 550 MHz hell of Comcast...
