    SatelliteGuys Winegard Pathway X2 First Look

    How large is the reflector? I have the Winegaurd Carryout and found its S/N ratio is to low to get reliable reception in Maine on eastern or western arc. If one tree leaf or butterfly pass over the Carryout the signal is lost if I get it at all.

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    I have experience the long delays and terminated the service for that reason. It is a good deal when it does what they say it will, but in reality it is a bad deal.

    211 vs 211k

    Thank for the info-- Looks like the only difference between a 211 and 211k is color the 211k being black and the 211 is silver. And both work with legacy equipment. Dave

    211 vs 211k

    What is the difference software and hardware between the 211 and 211k other than color. I have a 211 that is working on East Arc with my 222k. I would like to know if the 211 will work with the "tailgater" dish and will it work with legacy dish 500 twin with a SW21 switch. I want to use it while...

    Dish Pricing

    Is there a simple easy to understand pricing information available that includes non-promational, equipment and bundled and nonbundled prices. I am looking for ways to cut costs-- being I live on a fixed income with no increase in sight. I have called dish and seem to always get people with a...

    RV and Home satellite

    Exactly how do I hook up my 222k to dish 500. I read somewhere that the 222 receiver is compatible with legacy lnb and switches. If that is the case I should be able to connect the 222k to the SW21 on my Dish 500 twin lnb. If that is possible, do I connect the output of he SW21 to either of the...

    RV and Home satellite

    I called their tech support and found out that I am authorized to use the east ach and they would not enable me to use the 110 and 119 satellites-- or any satellite outside of the eastern arc. Somehow we had a problem understanding each other. All they would tell me is I had to establish another...

    Which tv would you get?

    Buy the LCD that provides the best black and ability to see detail in shadows. I think they call it contrast ratio. Beware that the stores will generally use the mfg. settings which tend to be too saturated to look good in store lighting. In any event it is hard to hide a TV that does poorly...

    RV and Home satellite

    John L. Thanks for the information. I will use ferry the reciever back and forth between home and the motor home. It will be where ever I am at so if they call at home and I am there the receiver will be there as well connected to my home phone line so it can call home when it wants to. I think...

    RV and Home satellite

    I am new to DN on the Eastern Arc with two VIP 222K receivers in my home. I have a 381 Receiver in my Motor Home with a Dish twin 500 with a 21 switch. I tried to have DN authorize my 381 receiver, but they refused to add that receiver to my existing account and was told that I had to start a...
