    There are 3 million americans living in Mexico, many need AAD to see networks, there may be more subs than you might think.

    Will AAD remain on Sat 119 with this change? Same transponder?

    Help with Shaw System / 605 rcvr / quad lnb / 60cm dish

    The new Triple quad LNB can be a chore. Best to use Dishpointer, get the correct elevation and compass heading, use an old dual quad LNB, max the signal and then switch to the new LNB, call Shaw to have the new software installed. You will not see the third sat that far South. The 75E New LNB's...

    Dish's New Internet Offering

    Watch out if you are using VIOP, like Vonage and switch to Sat Broadband. The lag times make for very difficult conversations on the VOIP.

    Signal Strength in Mexico

    Just got back to the East Cape, and first antenna I hooked my Birdog up to showed almost double signal strength. I have been connected to 10 different antennas and they are all just the same, double meter strength. This is on Sat 119. I am sure the earths crust did not bulge and place Baja...

    Recorded program search reverse

    When we use the fast reverse, the speed is too fast! Just a touch of the reverse gets one a long way back into the program. FWD is good and can be selected as 4x etc. How does one change how fast it goes in reverse? We spend time trying to get back to the item we wanted to see. Seems like 'back'...

    Why No Book

    This is a laugh, I bought a Pentax camera, downloaded the manual and printed, and printed, and printed, must have been 300 pages! Good lesson, never again! Best to use the menu. T.M.I.

    VIP 722k with Legacy LNBs?

    Dish Pro LNB's and a DP 34 with two lines to the receiver would be the best, cheapest route. You need to post present antennas, if you have three dishes the DP34 will do the trick. Dish 500 is pretty simple, upgrade to a DPP twin and use a DP dual on second antenna, one cable to receiver and use...

    922 remote less range

    Not sure what they are talking about! So use a slip on type of RG-6 and at the end where you need to connect the small factory antenna you will have a female! Sure you can slip in a double male, but then you have the wrong threads to connect to the antenna. The antenna needs to be screwed all...

    TV2 UHF Antenna

    Push on connector is a great idea, I will try it this morning, for longer runs the ghetto Idea could work too. Thanks guys, I am sure Dish will come up with a better crossover connector some day. There must be something different about the 922 antenna, could it also do WiFi?

    TV2 UHF Antenna

    Need to extend the UHF range of the 922 for TV2. Too far to second TV for remote to reach receiver. Threads are different on the antenna, not the same as regular coax connectors. With all of the great ways to extend all other dual receivers, too bad the 922 has to have a unique antenna that can...

    VIP 922 remote #1 to UHF

    I use a 722 IR remote for TV1 and the 32.0 922 remote for TV2. Switch the tab on the 32.0 over to the 2 side, use menu to enable IR and use the receiver to acknowledge the 722 remote. Works great, however, extending the UHF antenna is not so easy as the threads are not the same as coax fittings.

    Violent Crime? I live in Los Barriles, Baja California Sur, its about 80 miles North of Cabo, 15 years ago we had a assault in the area, two construction workers got into it. Biggest crime in our area is tipping over a Pacifico, penalty might be no lime with the next one! Dish Mexico has only...

    Dish Pro Plus Twin and Birdog Meter

    Great replies! I did some testing today on a rooftop, found if I isolate the DPP from both receiver and second dual, I can read 119 on the middle connection or I guess it would be #2. I could not exist without my Birdog Plus, I have found I can drain the battery very fast when hooking up to the...
