    Satellite 119 is locking on 110

    SimpleSimon isn't doing any better. Perhaps you should hire a professional to do the work. After all, why are we even telling you how to do it? :rolleyes:

    What to include with leased 811 return (cables)?

    On any returns all that needs to be sent back is the receiver. keep the remote.

    Laggy/glitchy Guide on a 522

    FWIW, a memory dump may help. It cleared up mine.

    Satellite 119 is locking on 110

    your dish is pointed 9-degree too far east. The receiver will always say there is signal even if it says wrong sat. That's because you are pointed at a satellite, it just ain't 119. Bring your dish back to the west 9 degrees. The best trick in the world is to peak in both 119 and 110 at the...

    AC-Max stuttering problem?

    what receiver is it? some early dishpro receivers were notorious for that. It went away when they changed to the 3-prong plug oddly enough. Hopefully it's just a temporary glitch with Cinemax.

    L2.37 Software Update for Models 522 & 625

    L2.36 sure didn't last very long as I have been awaiting for this update. Still at 2.35. Now 2.37 is out. Anyone have any release notes on this?

    Acquiring Satallite Signal every 5 min or so?!?!

    Have the tech move 121 from port 2 to port 4 as a precaution. it says recommended for FSS (which is 121) right on the damn switch @ port 4.

    Acquiring Satallite Signal every 5 min or so?!?!

    if both receivers are getting nothing then it would be the switch. the 4th port coming from the dish is recommended for the 121 slot. curious if the installer put 119 on it. your check switch matrix in your check switch screen should read any combination for 119, 110 and 61.5 utilizing ports...

    Acquiring Satallite Signal every 5 min or so?!?!

    Probably a low-frequency barrel that was used in the line not rated for DPP. I assume you have a DPP44 switch since you have 4 orbital slots. There are too many times when inadequate parts are used during installs. I am only guessing since it happens a lot. Or something amiss with the power...

    DishNet on a high rise building?

    Ooooh, lovely Miami, I'll be there on Friday!!!!!!!!!! yippeeeee! Many people in high rise buildings have Dish/Direct. Do you know if the last resident had Dish/Direct. If so then it would be easy to tap into the line. I am guessing there is more than one dish up on top. There usually is. If...

    If you had a choice:Satellite or Cable

    I'm not talking about the individual technologies of DTH and Cable. I only mean they are along the same lines as far as the signal aquisition method. Networks send signal to satellite - cable companies receive from satellite. networks send signal to satellite - satellite companies receive from...

    If you had a choice:Satellite or Cable

    Cable vs Satellite has always struck me funny. They are one in the same. (except the internet)

    Singal strength

    bweiteka, so you are confirming the brick peaks in DPP precisely as if using any other LNB?

    Singal strength

    Lately, the major problem for many of the company's field techs is they use the sat buddy's to align the dish and dp+ doesn't read correctly with the sat buddy. I haven't checked the brick (channel master) or any other meter, but the sat buddy is widely used and you have to peak with a regular...

    CSR's can't speak English??

    Never Call 1 800 333 Dish You will all do yourself a huge favor by calling the sales number 1-888-DISH-123 or by calling the Pittsburg call center @ 1-888-233-DISH. Everyone I talk to in Pittsburg speaks Engleeesh! cheers
