    118 + 119 possible?

    Currently, I've got a hybrid setup with EA + 119 (HD locals are on 119, I have no LOS to 129 from anywhere on my property b/c of trees in neighbors yards). I'm having some overseas family come into town for an extended stay, and was wondering if there was a way to add a 118 LNB to my current...

    Sling Adaptor Field Reviews

    I'm having a reverse problem to the one you describe. I can watch previously recorded shows or live TV from the web site, but the iPhone app will only play live TV. It shows all my recorded programs, but when I try to play one on the iPhone it just plays TV2's feed.

    USB Antenna

    I purchased two Netgear WNDA3100s, and neither of them work with my 722k. They bring up the "USB Device not supported at this time" error message.

    Mixed arc user

    I am one of the "few" users who have a mixed arc setup. Not wanting to miss out on the new HD, I am stuck between somewhat of a rock and a hard place. I have excellent LOS to the Eastern Arc. Unfortunately, my locals are on 110. There's really no place to setup a single dish to pick up...

    I may leave DISH

    I have been with DISH now for almost 2 years, and have been very happy with the service up until now. My first DVR died about a year ago, but they promptly sent me a new one. Recently, my latest unit died (just before football season started!!!), and the replacement they shipped me was...

    Dish LNB

    It didn't come with a collar though. Is there a way to fabricate one / purchase one cheaply?

    Dish LNB

    Here's the dish after I took it down from the pole: The 3rd photo is with a Y LNB holder attached. That's not what I used to hold the LNB on, I had a single I adapter in place. That's just attached to show the approximate location of the LNB. How do you determine the focal point...

    Dish LNB

    No, it was an older post. I bought it 2 years ago, I think.

    Dish LNB

    Don't remember offhand. I bought it in the classifieds here. Multisat, maybe?

    Dish LNB

    Ah. I have the single LNB holder on the D500 dish, and the skew must be set to 90, b/c the dish is not angled. I'll see about getting a picture up soon.

    Dish LNB

    I thought you didn't need to set skew for circular polarization.

    Dish LNB

    I have a two dish setup at home, one a dish 500 pointing at 110/119, and the other dish pointing at 61.5. I decided to use a larger dish for the 61.5 location, and I purchased a 90cm dish. However, it did not come with a LNB bracket. I was able to shoehorn it on there, but I am not really...

    722 random problems

    The receiver sits at the top of an AV cabinet. There is ample space around the device, but there is no active cooling.

    722 random problems

    I have a VIP 722 at the house and have been happy with its performance until recently. I had one 722 that went bad, and this is the 2nd one that I have had. I am afraid that this one might be dying too. Here are the symptoms: Accessing the menus on the system takes an inordinate amount...

    DNC08? 24/7 coverage of the Democratic National Convention? Don't the news networks do that anyway?

    Been so long since I watched KTBS via Dish and not OTA that I hadn't noticed. It's good that the program guide is back now.

    Bury the cable?

    I've got closed to 150' of cable buried in conduit, it works fine. Just make sure you bury it under the frost line (I think... someone from a place that it regularly snows back me up)

    Extra receiver cost?

    I know this should be a question for an FAQ or something, but I searched the site and couldn't find anything that quickly answered my question. How much does it cost to add an additional receiver to an account? It's a 311 receiver, and I own it. (from eBay) I want a unit that I can take...

    722 has DD Optical Audio Dropouts

    I was having the same trouble with my new 722 last night during the Giants / Cowboys game. I thought I was losing signal, but the video didn't skip out, just the audio.

    An excellent install story

    So I finally got Dish network installed Tuesday. A few months ago, the Dish techs came out twice to tell me there was no LOS to the 129 satellite due to a tree that is in my neighbor's yard. At the time, I asked them about the possibility of installing 2 dishes to get the programming from...
