    WANTED: Your Thoughts on DISHONLINE.COM

    1) On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the worst and 5 being the best) what do you rate DISHONLINE.COM as far as its overall rank. 3 - I'm not sure the purpose of this site if you don't own sling box or 922. 2) On a scale of 1 to 5 how easy is it for you to navigate DISHONLINE.COM 4 - not too bad...

    D* National HD Channels are in real HD?

    I wasn't arguing with your original point. The question asked was "how many D* HD channels are actually HD (not converted SD)?". Your original point AND this point have nothing to do with an actual answer to the direct question. so here we go off-topic again: Again, I wasn't trying to start...

    D* National HD Channels are in real HD?

    Not sure what any of that has to do with the topic....... Back on topic: There are several announced D* HD channels that do not even broadcast HD (none, nada, zip, zilch). SpeedTVHD is one, I think there are several more but I can't comment as I don't have D* nor do I try to keep up with all...

    EchoStar: We Have 48 National HD Channels

    I did read it, there was no indication that the deal would happen a year later. It sounded fairly immediate. I could find no credible source that has said when or if that deal had already taken place. As a follow up, Reuters says that the deal should happen second half of 07, again no date...

    Well completely off topic now, but I am pretty sure Rupert has been out since sometime around December 06. Here is at least 1 source: DIRECTV’s Largest Stake Acquired by Liberty Media : Direct TV Satellite TV Blog If you have verified information to the contrary, I apologize for insulting...

    EchoStar: We Have 48 National HD Channels

    So,apparently you agree, D* is a "turd bird"? I doubt he has anything to do with D* recent turnaround, if it indeed is turned. He certainly had a lot to do with the merger from happening, the FCC hates Murdoch. The cable companies took his comments and ran with it. Anyways, that was just my...

    Need help to install second dish for 129

    ok guys, thanks for your help on the skew. I was confused by this because in the past (3 or 4 years ago) I never bothered with it setting up for 119 only. I was wondering why I had to do this now. It makes sense that this is only needed for multiple sats. Like I said before, I thought this...

    Need help to install second dish for 129

    I found a website that explains elevation pretty good. If you have dish with the receiver offset from center (which is the 300 and most of the newer dishes) then roughly the angle is determined by drawing a line from the top of the dish to the front of the receiver( or use the readings on the...

    Need help to install second dish for 129

    OK..I got a signal from 61.5...took awhile but I got it around 75%. I think I do indeed have a tree blocking 129. I think I could fine tune this a little better. I have no problem setting skew and azimuth, those are pretty straight forward. The elevation (or tilt) is a different story...

    Need help to install second dish for 129

    I guess the only question would be, is the single used for the 129? If not, then I would need to rewire a little bit. Is this a standard setup, using the 129 on that single?

    Need help to install second dish for 129

    you lost me for a minute there....are you saying I have all the pieces that I need already? If I remove the single one from the 1000 and use it on the 300? that makes sense. The 1000 won't have an lnbf where the single was at (or I could use the old 300 one as a dummy)?
