I have a novice question here . . . I'm looking at the above posts about these free channels and am I right that I would need at least two more dishes up pointed at 100 and 119 degrees? I do have two more dishes that I've gotten from free-cycle and I also have the boxes. However, will these...

What a total blessing this would be to my family!! I'll be waiting anxiously and praying I win!! Welcome - it's so wonderful to know we have this Christian choice!! God bless you in your new endeavor!!

Just an update. The reason I couldn't get the 9701 channel is because Dish Network is doing something different and if you have an older receiver, the card has to be updated. I got my new card in the mail and it solved this problem. 9701 comes in just fine now. According to SA, all the...

Hi, I'm curious if anyone else is having trouble getting channel 9701? It's totally black for us. All the other channels come in great, so was wondering if it's from SA or if it's something with us? We don't have it locked. I tried to call SA, but they are closed until Monday so thought...

First question to ask yourself - is the cord coming from the satellite dish in good working order? Hmmmm? LOL Yep - that was the problem all along. I feel like a complete dork! I really do appreciate all the help you guys tried to give me. My own incompetence has nothing to do with any of...

Okay, guys - here's the latest. I called Sky Angel and they said to make sure the cable is in the 119 slot. It is. I finally decided to go to Radio Shack and get a Satellite Finder Meter. NOTHING!! That needle doesn't move one single centimeter. I'm going to change the cord that comes from...

We live in the open desert, so there is nothing around! LOL I never thought it would be so difficult to get the signal - especially since I'm using equipment that Sky Angel recommends. *sigh* Oh well - I'm sure this will get worked out one way or another. Thanks again for all the help everyone!

We have tried doing that, but will try again in the morning. We just went out and covered the right eye with tin foil as I had read that in an old post here. That didn't work either. We are in the Prescott Valley, Arizona area if anyone wants to help me! I didn't realize it would be so hard...

I really appreciate everyone's input on this! I have transponder 25 set as that's what Sky Angel told me to use. I actually called them on the 22nd and even though it's usually 48 hours before things are activated, they went ahead and activated for me. The problem seems to be the signal. I...

I signed up with Sky Angel on the 21st and have been trying to get a signal ever since!! I have my equipment from when I had Dish Network and it is a Dish 500 with receiver. We have used the compass and gotten our alignments just perfect, but to no avail! Is there something else anyone could...
