Boy, I guess I'm really f'ed up! ;(

Ok. I had a brain fart. It is OK. It just threw me for a loop because the choices are 300, 500 and "Super". I don't see Dish1000 any more. I guess they updated the software in the system or something. I have all 3 birds. Thanx! Bud

I have been subscribed to Dish for a long while and I have not had any changes in my programming and I still receive all of my subscribed HD channels. It has been a while since I got into the hardware and started "checking" stuff. What prompted me to do so was I was taking my 211K out and was...

Thanx as always, Iceberg! You are the resident plethora of knowledge here! Mery Christmas, Bud

Had a bit of a brain fart. Which satellites do I get in the L.A. area? I am in the WA 1000.2 and I thought I was on 110, 119 & 129. I'm pretty sure and I get all of the locals and HD as well. It has been a long while since I have been on and I am sure they changed the birds on me. Thanx and...

I set up my 211K here at home in southern Cali and got all of my subscribed channels (one bird at a time) but when I set it up in the campsite in SW Texas there were not even as many! I set it to point to 110W for instance and I hardly got any. Should'nt I get all of the same excluding locals...

Thanx!

Take a look at my crude drawing and tell me if this will work? I understand that I will be getting the same programming on BOTH TV's (if possible anyway) and I need to know if this setup will work. Can the 211k output to 2 sets simultaneously using two different connections, in this case...

What is the best way to **split** the signal for bringing in CATV to my existing 211k? Let me elaborate a bit more. In my RV I have a 211k set up on a legacy (Winegard) dish so I am getting one bird at a time..no biggie. I also have and external coax connection that I used in the past (before...

I currently have, on my acct., one 722K that is HD in the front room and sd on my old CRT set in the shop. I have a 222K in the master bedroom that currently shares the kids' room. We upgraded the Sony Bravia set in our room and handed down the 26" Sony now to the kids. I also have a 211K that I...

Oops :( So I have to pull the RG6 down from the LNBF specifically for the 211k? I **think** I have two down now for both of my existing receivers and there should be a third and unused connection on the LNBF since there is one for each 110, 119 & 129 and the "switching" is built in, right...

Looks like the 211k it is! I guess I'll pull "sat2" line off of the back of the 722k and just put the 211k on the RG6 coming into the kids' room and put it on the 211k. I have a Western Digital 500G EHD that I will try to use with the 211k once I pay the $39.00 to see if it works. Thanx again...

I currently have a 722k in my front room and I have added another HDTV in the kids' room so now I want HD in their room which previously was shared wit the 722k as #2 (SD). I was looking at a pair of 612's but Dish wants too much for HD fees p/mo, yada, yada. What is the best and most economical...

That's because this &*#@ing state is broke!! They will eek the last drop of blood from your dying carcass if you live here. Thank God I'm bailing in two more years! Counting the seconds :rant:

New one is coming from Dish:) Gotta love the service plan.:up
