    DVR 721 Installation Question - No Switch

    Config didn't work - yet Well, i hooked everything up, and with Advanced Tech Support on the line did a check switch. I casually happened to mention the "which Satellite" does the software upgrade spool from, and so tech support checked with "advanced, advanced support." (someone in the...

    DVR 721 Installation Question - No Switch

    I am looking to replace my 4900 receiver with a 721 that I recently bought. The 4900 is connected to the 61.5 satellite only (Skyangel) via the traditional, Legacy, Dish 500 Dual. (4 ports, 2 each for “119” and “110”) I previously ran 1 port from “119” to a SW21, and another cable from...

    Sky Angel Dish 500

    I have had success using Dish 500 antenna with satellite 61.5. Using the "Legacy Dual" type of unit (as opposed to DishPro) I altered the skew and locked onto one LNBF with signal power of 125. I had marked the skew point in pencil several years ago, and I'd go outside and check it, but...

    The only thorn in my side about Sky Angel

    Dish Network Services - DVR

    Similar to the other thread about a 2nd receiver, I was wondering about how Dish treats a Skyangel customer getting a DVR. Of course, if one gets a 501 or 508 receiver, there is no monthly fee. But what if one gets as their single, primarly receiver a 510? Doesn't Dish want to get DVR...
