Thanks all, I have a local place (on Dish's link) coming over on Saturday. I'm hopeful that a decent spot can be found for a pool, or absent that mounting on my deck or one story family room roof. If either of these isn't possible, I will look into some of the other suggestions (heater, gable...

Didn't know there was such a thing. Any recommendations for one known to work well with a 1000.4 receiver?

re: winter. Maybe 3-4 times. Enough to be irritating due to the difficulty in resolving the problem when it happens. re: Western Arc/Eastern. I'm playing with http://www.dishpointer.com, I'd say that I will need to stay with Eastern unless I'm prepared to cut a xxxx load of trees. So, it...

It's been a while since I've followed this forum...but Eastern Arc. My current satellites are 77/72/61.5. I think the issue was trees when pointing more to the west. ETA: I don't usually get too much snow accumulation, but it does happen 3-4 times per winter and when it does it is a real...

Hi all - I just had a new roof installed. When I signed up for dish a few years ago, the installers set up the dish on the roof. Due to the style of house (Modern Cape) and the placement of the dish (near the roof ridge), it is very difficult to clean snow off of the dish. (I try to use a...

Another possible solution is to use a Dish Tailgater which just sets on the ground and can be moved. It's intended for RV's and has the downside of only one receiver (and one Satellite at a time). Nothing to install, just run the coax from it to your receiver. See it here: Tailgater -...

Interesting Thread Interesting thread. To avoid an audit, should one 1) Have only 1 receiver? 2) Not have internet or phone connectivity to it - does this matter? And when phoning in to re-establish service: 1) Use a cell phone with a US area code? 2) Use skype (and invest in a skype out #...

Thanks for the answers so far. Yes, I have been watching the pre-game and post-game show on Fox Sports Pittsburgh and watching the Penguins game (when available) on NHL Center Ice (free preview). But, I'm in a MSG area, so any Pittsburgh game against the devils, rangers, inslanders, or sabres...

Thread bump - want to confirm New (registered) user here who came upon this thread. I'm a recent dish customer trying to get access to Pittsburgh Penguins hockey games. I subscribed to top 250 (to get Versus and NHL network) as well as the sports package (thinking that would get me Fox...
