    I live in NY and currently have a bell express account set up, through a broker in Canada. I have a dual lnb dish pointed at the 82 and 91 Express VU satellites. Is it possible to get both Bell Express and Dish network programming on this same receiver? If i got a couple of Dish network...

    2 Dish Set-up Question

    Last fall i set up my 3 lnb oval dish on my roof with a pole mount and was able to receive all three signals (101 & 110 were in the 90s and the 119 was in the low 70s, but i received all channels fine). Over the last few months, my 119 signal has slowly dissapeared and is now down to zero - I...

    Is this OK/Legal

    I currently have an account with Directv. I have 6 boxes on my account. Three of the boxes I use at my office (my building has a dish on the roof, so I just plugged them in). the boxes are in offices, so it is not like a store or resturant. Is this ok to do or am I breaking the rules?

    Ugrading Boxes - Dish - as lease

    A couple of weeks ago, I contacted Directv to see about upgrading my HD revceiver to the TIVO HDDVR. They really helped me out with that and in addition, they offered to upgrade my older boxes (I have 6 on my account). Only 3 they offered to replace - 2 older regular receivers and my h10 HD...

    18' Dish - 3 satellites!???

    sorry for the long run on paragraph. The dish was bolted in and I wasnt aiming it. Once I got a strong signal on the 101 satellite, I locked it in and bolted down and tightened the dish. The dish was stationary and wasnt moving and I was receiving signal on all satellites (or so the receiver...

    18' Dish - 3 satellites!???

    Am I crazy - could this be correct. I currently have a dish (18' Dish, dual LNB, pointed at the 101 sat) and a RCA Tivo box. Due to the blizzard we had last week, I needed to go on my roof and re-aim this afternoon. I am currently in the process of switching over to DTV HD service (waiting for...

    Coordinates

    I was hoping that someone would help me out and find out my coordinates for me. I have a dual lnb dish (pointing at the 101 satellite only) and want to see if i have a clear view to set up a 3lnb dish. I have tried many pointing calculators, but none seem to give the skew, only azymuth and...

    Crazy Set-up questions

    I currently have regular directv (by regular I mean non-HD Directv - the 101 satellite only). I orginally tried to have the installer set me up for Directv HD, but told me he could not get the 119 singnal. I then ordered DISH and he was able to set the dish up on a pole mast and get a signal...

    Who does DISH think they are!

    Upon cancelling my horrible service with DISH, i was told that I would be receiving a box to send back my equipment. I was going to take 2 weeks (yes, 2 weeks, not exaggerating) to receive these boxes. 3 days later, I noticed that my credit card had an un-authorized charge of $420 on it. I...

    Set Up Dish For Use With Dtv Hd

    I have 2 DISH network dishes set up on my roof (one pointed at 61.5 and one at the 110 & 119 sats). Is it possible to use these dishes (without repointing them) with a directv HD receiver? The reason I ask, is because on 2 occations, I had Directv guys come out and tell me that they could not...
