    Upgrading to dish 1000.2

    OK, Got the new dish 1000.2 , hooked the cable to the #2 lnb and got it mounted. Found 110 easily, but can't find 119 at all. It's basically pointed to the same coordinates as the 500. Covered the center lnb which was getting 110 and can't find anything. What's wrong? Sorry, I panicked. Just...

    loosing channel 205 late afternoon

    Today should prove something. It's cloudy and showery so not so hot on the dish and connections. I haven't had much above 45 on any channel since Dish said they " adjusted my meter" in set up. Said the signal would be the same but indicate lower. WHAT? Nothing near enough to me to cause...

    Upgrading to dish 1000.2

    I'll wait till it gets here. It's called a DPP LNB and looks to be one unit with the 3 LNB's sticking out.

    I haven't received the Dish as yet, but the picture showed 3 separate lnb's, so I guess I'll need a switch after all. I've seen prices all over the place. Who has a good price on a DP 44?

    Upgrading to dish 1000.2

    Right now I have a DVR 510, dish 500 2 lnb's with sw21 switch and one coax to one receiver. I just bought a Dish Network 1000.2 dish with the 3 lnb's. What switch do I need? May want Hi Definition sometime later. Also do I need to change my Coax?

    Dish NW 110 and 119 Problem in RV

    Have you tried about 8 degrees to the west to get 119 and a little up? If you find 119 you should get both birds.
