Yep, I hate flash. I'm really just seeking a more convenient way of doing this, and having a physical remote would be EXTREMELY beneficial. What is Vaporware, I saw it mentioned somewhere when I was doing some Googleing before I posted this thread.

Hey all, I'm a college student, and have a ViP922 back home. I frequently stream off of it during the little amount of down-time I find in college. But when I do, it seems like a hassle to get the MacBook pro, plug the HDMI cable in, setup the second screen, then have to get out of bed or use...

Why would I need to setup my own account, I pay for the receivers functionality, it's no different from when I take the receiver down to my camp for the weekend and use it for TV there. The installers personally told us that doing so is OK, this will just be a more prolonged visit of the...

The window, if I recall correctly, is one of those ones where theres like a layer of glass on the inside, and then a layer on the outside, so thats probably going to cause an issue, I'm happy if I can get a 25-30 signal strength reading - because thats usable, and despite the fact it may go out...

Hey all, I am off to college soon, and I'm interested in taking Dish along with me, I will be in a dorm on campus, so mounting a permanent dish outside is out of the question. From my last visit, I did a survey using DishPointer on my iPhone, and there is indeed a clear view of the Western...

I do believe that dish networks father company, echostar, also owns Sling Media, I may be wrong, but I'm almost positive. So "Getting along" should be no problem here hah.

My ViP 922 has a larger version of the female end of the coaxial barrel. I wonder why they changed it, must be to prevent confusion with the "Less experienced" folks hah.

I'm using a Dish 500 with the DPP LNB. The other 500, up on the roof is hitting 110, and 119. Those two satellites are for my parents' TV's, because they watch standard def. I have two dishes up on 61.5 and 72.7 at the eastern arc, for my HD Receiver. Its all linked together through a DPP44...

Due to the area where I live, the signal I get on 61.5 isn't exactly the greatest. I fine tuned the dish with a meter to the best signal I could find, which is between 46-50. Rain fade is a bit of an issue with me, not usually, but sometimes. Is there any 3rd party dishes out there that...

Check the seals where the wire enters the house. All you need is a little silicone around the entry point. Drip loops, like mentioned above are a good idea too.

the answer is.. your fine. I've been doing the same thing as you for a while. Now, if the actual location where the receiver should be, has a receiver connected to the internet, and it has a different external IP than the one the box at your location has, it could raise suspicion, and...

It wasn't pre-installed. I had it laying in my garage, someone gave it to me. My neighbors have trees blocking pretty much all of the southern sky. The only satellites I can hit in between the tree's are Dish Network 110, and 119. I'm sure 118.7 and a few others are possible, but theirs no much...

Haven't gotton that far yet. I still need to decide which receiver to purchase.. Theres so many options to choose from hah. I have an HDTV, so an MPEG4 would be preferred, and I prefer a DVR, but its not a necessity.

Yes, the dish is about 39 inches.

Did you just toy around with it to get a signal? Or is there somewhere I can get some numbers to use as guidelines for the install?
