    Why use 311 instead of 381?

    Then why does it come with the silver remote instead of the black one??? Why does it have DVI and optical while the 311 does not?? Sounds newer to me. Yeah, the silver remotes are newer than the black ones.

    Why use 311 instead of 381?

    I had to replace a 381 with a 311 the other day. It seems the 381 is a newer model and superior. Why continue with 311s then? I'm confused. The 381 has newer remotes and much more one the back end (mirrored TVs, audio our, DVI, svideo, optical). Unless I'm missing something, discontinue the...

    Are you having low signal trouble with the new 1.2 LNBs?

    I used to get 87-89 on the 119 (1.2), we moved to the 1.4, I started getting 88-92. Now we're back on 1.2 and I can barely get mid 70s. I get higher points on the 500 dishes LOL! We think we got a bad pallate of LNBs. Someone pulled a 1.2 from their old van stock and it worked like normal. I...

    Are you having low signal trouble with the new 1.2 LNBs?

    Since moving from the 1.4w to the 1.2w, our office is struggling hard with signal strength. When we switched to the 1.4, my signal strength was about 2 points higher than the 1.2. Now we're back on 1.2 and I can barely get low to mid 70's on 110, 119 and 129 gets 44-51. Our whole office is...

    722k black and white picture

    I tried looking thru my 722 menu and couldn't find anything that could change to b/w. When the tv is turned on, it displays something in color, then when it kicks in to Dish, it goes b/w. My 1st thought was RCA cables. Guess we'll find out tomorrow if the new 722 fixes it or not LOL.

    722k black and white picture

    A friend of mine out of state has a 722 (only 1 tv) and last night their picture went to black and white. I had them move RCA connector to TV2 and still b/w. They're getting a 722 shipped but I was wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.

    Will adding new satellites increase my channels??

    I have WA 110,119,129. Was wondering if I put up a 500 pointing to somewhere else, if it would add any channels or something I don't have now. Or does it not matter because the channels are dependent upon a package (120, 250 etc).

    looking for a satellite meter which is best for dish network wild blue?

    My Super Sat Buddy is the best out there. Whoops ass over the Birdog. I can sight in a dish faster than my Birdog buddies do. Also, you can select which satellite system you are setting up, put in zip code and it will give you all adjustments you need on the fly.
