Actually, it now shows 129 coming through with the same/similar strength as the other satellites. But, I'm still receiving a total loss of signal error on ESPN SD channels. I prefer HD anyway, but still that's curious to me.

Finally bought a ladder, crimper, etc. and got the stuff setup. For Southern Florida, I'm receiving responses on Sat 110 and 119. However, 129 is not coming through on the Point Dish screen. The Check Switch tests 1 to 4 complete and display the following: After it downloaded the guide...

Yeah, I'm in Miami, FL now. Need to update my locale.

Cool. So, I can connect to either of the two cables coming from the satellite? I'll splice and create a connection from whichever if that's the case. Need to buy some crimp tools I guess. Any advice on pointing a dish if check dish doesn't find them? We have a lot of heavy-wind storms here...

Wow that kinda stinks. I'm an G+ addict now. Cited photos added to original post. It only says TurboHD. Photo attached.

I was a long time DISH customer until I moved into a location that prohibited DISH. Anyway, I'm in a new location now and would like to give it a go once more. I purchased a VIP-211K from this website's sponsor store a long while back and it worked great. Since there is a satellite, sans...

I'd like to get DISH setup at my new place in Miami. It has a DirecTV dish setup already. However, I want to stick with DISH. If there's an installer/independent out there who'd like to do this or if anyone has a contact, I'd like one. I have my ViP receiver. Tossed my other equipment...

Yessir. Thanks for working out an appointment. I'll have my fingers crossed that all goes well.

I've sent the private messages asking for them to review this thread. I'm hoping for the best, but my luck with DISH support has been sub-par at best...hence my lack of desire to call into the support system and deal with India telling me how to power cycle crap.

Well, the Check Switch comes back with all three in the GREEN. But, the details section is what I typed earlier with the numbers from all the three SATs for Tuner0 and Tuner1.

So what should I do? I don't want to call India and get no real assistance. If I were to call, I'd probably demand level 2 support. But, what would I tell them? When I do the check switch everything comes back OK. But, they don't have a switch. There are three receivers. Each has a...

On 129, TP 10 = 19 TP 20 = 51 TP 29 = 47 TP 30 = 44 TP 10 can be anywhere from 0 to 50 and changes every 30 or so seconds to another number, seemingly arbitrarily and no real pattern.

I'm not sure what fluctuations and what signal strengths on TPs' 19 20 29 and 30 refer to. What's TP and how do I check it? They have had fluctuations for several months in that the signal will be lost, come back, be lost, etc...

I did the switch test and it all came back green and OKAY. The details shows something that might be interesting Status: Good STB Helath Lite Tuner 0 as of 05/14 913pm Orbital 14 15 16 21 110 73 77 76 78 119 73 78 82 86 120 0 23 0 61 Tuner 1 as...

My parents have been complaining about signal loss for a few months. I rarely saw it except during storms. But, this weekend I'm visiting and it has been outrageous. It's overcast and no trees are blocking the satellite. But, both receivers continue to have random blue screens that signal...
