    How to improve signal on roof antenna manually?

    It is surprising how poor of a job roofers do when putting these back....

    Where can I find an old Dishplayer 7100?

    More power to you, but these were pieces of junk 25 years ago. I can't imagine they would work on any level these days...

    Dish Wally Reception Error (Complete Signal Loss)

    Wallys "can" be a real pain in the rear. A couple things to check, make sure it isn't stuck in the "tuner 0" glitch. Go to the signal strength screen, and make sure tuner 1 is selected, then try the the switch check again. It can take a bit of "smacking it around" (so to speak) to get past that...

    How to improve signal on roof antenna manually?

    66 is actually very good signal strength. It goes to 125 for no good reason, I think the strongest I have ever seen, on a spot beam transponder with a large commercial grade dish was upper 70s. When I install a dish, I am perfectly happy with a signal in the 50s. It is very unlikely you could...

    Dual HWS issue

    They are, but that moca runs over coax just as everything else in the setup.

    Dual HWS issue

    Depends on how it is all connected now, how many joeys do you have? But it doesn't really matter, the cable that runs a HWS now, will run a joey after the upgrade, no issues.

    Dual HWS issue

    As others have said, Hopper 3 is the way to go. So much better than 2xHWS.

    The work around for the current tailgater issue.

    Went out on a service call for a Wally/Tailgater yesterday (1st problem was TV was on wrong input). We hadn't had any RV service calls in a few months, and I hadn't thought much about it, but I assumed dish would have had a software fix for the tailgater 129 issue by now.... Nope, software...

    The work around for the current tailgater issue.

    My bad, I live on the West coast and forget that plenty of people can see 61.5. Around here it is at an 8 degree elevation and next to impossible to see. Yes it should work fine assuming you can see it.

    The work around for the current tailgater issue.

    My boss was on the phone with King Controls and according to them, the Hybrid option doesn't work, as soon as it can't find 61.5, it is done. We have yet to test that though. They also did confirm it is Dish's issue, Dish needs to update software. HEY DishHelp , GET ON THAT!

    The work around for the current tailgater issue.

    We have been dealing with this issue for many weeks now, it affects all receivers designed to work with the tailgater. During the satellite acquisition stage, the receiver will get stuck on 3 of 3 for 211 receivers or the 3rd part of the progress bar on Wally's. It is looking for 129, which of...

    Tailgater and VIP211Z

    The hybrid lnb emulates multiple different lnbs. The Hopper 3 utilizes "DPZ", which is how it gets it's 16 tuners. You can run up to 8 or even 16 Wallys (in single tuner mode) off of 1 DPH lnb and a DPH42 power supply. Generally that is only done in commercial installations. It emulates the...

    Tailgater and VIP211Z

    Yes, all the Hopper Duo needs is a DPP lnb. They are a good deal cheaper than that DPH lnbs, so they are used whenever possible. It will work with a DPH lnb, the DPH lnb just emulates a DPP lnb when that is what is needed.
