Ok, I have never contacted dirt. How is this done? I still haven't heard back from D* after giving them my name a password to use until they fix the problem and I still have the problem. :(

Well cancelled D* today and no they did NOT mention their LNBs. E* was the last provider I had cancelled so that was what I was thinking of. I tried to help out my fellow D* subs on my way out by saying the reason for leaving was the lack of support for HBO Go on the Roku. Of course they...

Yet Directv's deca\moca works perfectly doing this very thing. Just wish DISH did this too. Like I said it's disappointing but obviously with my install tomorrow, not a deal breaker.

Ok, I pulled the trigger. They will be out tomorrow to do the install. I am looking forward to the call to Directv where they offer me the sun and moon to stay. Then of course the tone will change when I say NO and they tell me to box up the LNBs and I say you can climb up on my roof but I'm...

I appreciate you trying to help. But it seems I keep having to do a lot of restating my setup for the advice I am getting has nothing to do with my setup that I have already explained. I have my router in my main room where the Hopper will go; I am good there. The Joey will go in the bedroom...

Not sure how you interpreted my post as needing 1080p streaming from the DISH receiver although I know if DISH provides it then the MOCA connection can handle it; hopefully the Joey can as well. My statement was in the context of using the the Joeys Ethernet jack to feed my network\internet to...

??? Isn't that exactly what MOCA is supposed to do? Are you saying the Internet connection on the Joeys won't be reliable? Directv does support their MOCA devices to supply Internet to other receivers. Of course they don't support 3rd party devices plugged into the extra Ethernet jack. But it...

That's disappointing. My Directv is feeding the Internet to my bedroom this way now. I'll have to figure out a solid alternative that can handle my 1080p streaming needs. Thanks for the info.

My question again is "Does the Joey provide network connectivity to other devices or a switch plugged into its Ethernet port?" The key words being "provide network" and "to other devices". In other words: Joey gets its Internet via coax (moca); can I then plug a Roku or other device into the...

OP, here. My house before the one I live in now, I had 110,119 (DISH 500) and a separate dish for 61.5 and had great signal strength. My home now I had 110, 119, 118.7, 129 on the one dish (I believe DISH 1000). Locals being on 118.7 and seemed to be the last to go out. Now that you guys have...

Ok, I appreciate all the help. I had the 110, 119, 129 install several years ago. Still not certain anything has changed to make me think I will have a stronger signal (like new SATs with higher power). But I guess I won't know if I can get a strong signal without getting an installer out and...

Or maybe DISH SATs at that time were at half power. Just trying to see if DISH is now better for me than it was. Thanks.

I want to be clear. I am not saying Raleigh locals suffered from rain fade on DISH disproportionately to the other channels. Is DISH lower in the sky for me for ALL the channels compared to Directv?

27511 - Raleigh area But I don't remember locals dropping more than other HD channels that were available at that time. That was and still is all I watch (HD). In fact now that I think of it my HD locals were on the special \diff LNB and seemed to hold up in the rain a little better. I couldn't...

I am in NC and used to have DISH and now have Directv. I have had a lot better signal and less rain fade with Directv. I am now coveting the hopper \ joey setup at DISH but have loved the rock solid signal I have had since leaving DISH. I am not sure if I have trees in the distance that...
