Can anyone explain why DP Twin would cause problems? The reason I would like to use a DishPro Twin is price. There are many DP twins for sale on Ebay at a fair delivered price; however, this is not true for the DP singles. If I decide to purchase a Dish 500 dish, then using only one side of...

DishPro Twin/Quad or Legacy Twin on Dish 300 To receive the VOOM HD channels at 61.5, can I use a DishPro Twin/Quad or a Legacy Twin on an standard (non y yoke) 18" Dishnetwork dish. I would simply mount them on one side and the other side would be unused, correct? Then use either a DP21 for...

10 VOOM channels not showing up in Guide 11AM Mountain? I just power cycled my parents 811 and the 10 Voom channels are not in the quide. Is a dish pointed at 61.5 required to get the guide information? My parents have a Dish 500 looking at 110 and 119 only. Regards Ron

Maybe it is only DirecTV but my point still stands. <End> Thanks for your comments. Regards Ron

Why Doesn't -Dish Add HBOHD/SHOWTIMEHD To HD Pack Since HD is the only programming I view using my projector, I would consider getting DishNet if they had a package that included all the HD channels they currently offer. IE.. Add HBOHD & ShowtimeHD to the current HD package and and charge a...

More HD Primetime content, NOW!? With DishNet and DirecTV moving towards trying to deliver MANY local market's HDTV content via satellite, seems like there should be a better way to manage that much capacity. After all, in general during primetime everyone in the east/central time zones are...

Since I need to move my dish, can anyone point me to a document that has instructions on how to realign a Dish 500 dish for the 110/119 birds. I am considering the purchase of another Dish 500 to point at the Canadian Nimiq birds. Will I get sufficient signal hear in Albuquere, NM, using a Dish...

Use two Dish 500 Dishes/Single LNBF's & SW21 for Nimiq1/2? Thanks Bobagird for your clear post regarding the LNBF types. Since you seem very knowledgable about the different Dish 500 Dish/LNBF combos. I thought I might post some follow up questions for you or anyone reading this forum. I...

So the single LNB's on the Dish 500 have 2 outputs Thanks for the replies Now it makes sense. The two single LNBF's I see attached to Dish 500 dishes each have two outputs. Thanks

1105 is a higher power KU bird using linear polarity? 105 is a higher power KU bird using linear polarity, correct? If I remeber correctly, this was the Superdish bird that did not have a footprint that covered the entire US. Thanks for the reply Ron

Two legacy LNBF's on Dish 500 viewing 110 & 119? I can understand how the Dual DishPro LNBF's can send programing to either receiver from either bird, but it is not clear how this could work using two legacy single none bandstacking LNBF's How would the following work? One LNBF is...

My parents have a Dish 500 system and they subscribe to the Americas Top 120, HBO,Starz and the HDPAK. They have two model 311 receivers and a model 811 HD receiver. Their current Dish 500 system only recieves programming from orbital postions 110 & 119. Since there are two other Echostar...

They have the Dish 811 HD Receiver with FW Rev 281 With all the problems I have read about regarding updating the firmware on the 811 HD Receiver, I have told them not to accept any new firmware versions. I believe the newest firmware is version 285 and their version is 281. Smartcard 281...

Is it possible to get VOOM without a telephone connection to each receiver? If not what happens if the telephone is disconnected? If they turn off the programming, how long does the dial tone have to be AWOL? what is the process to get the programming turned back on? Regards Ron

My parents have three Dish receivers. A few weeks back they changed from one movie channel to another. One of their receivers was unplugged when the signal was sent via the satellite to make the switch. They plugged the third receiver back in and it did not switch from the old movie channel...

Will an older Model 3800 reciever work with the newer DishPro LNB's? Regards Ron

Thread post problem? I posted a rather long post prior to this one and it appeared to post just fine, but I can't find it. In fact, since I had this long post in my paste buffer, I tired to post the exact same post again, it came back with a message indicating I had posted this message...

My 70 year old parents signed up for Dishnet last March 11th, while I was visiting, and had three recievers installed for free with a one year commitment. Since they now want a forth reciever, I would assume Dish will not supply it for free, correct? I have a four year old Dish receiver Model...

Where does one look for the firmware version number on an 811 Dishnet HD receiver? When I view the sys-info screen, I must not be looking in the right place. Thanks Very Much In Advance Later Ron

Ask for confirmation before firmware load defaults to yes When the 811 is configured to ask before installing a new firmware version, it defaults to yes on power on. All it takes is a member of your family to confirm the yes default setting and you get the new firmware. If dish updates the...

What is the commitment period? Own all equip afterward? The Dish $799 offer is interesting. What is the commitment period? After the commitment period, do you own all of the equipment ie.. HDTV CRT, 811(s) etc? Will the Dish 34" HDTV CRT monitor work with other DVI equipped HDTV receivers...

Firmware updates fixing things we do not want! Maybe? My guess is Dish is putting more effort into fixing things we do not want, like making sure reception of OTA HDTV will not work without a dish subscription. They have a few more months before the one year commitments start to expire. It...
