    Cost of service question

    HELP-Suddenly NO SIGNAL

    Well guys, it was a bad LNB. Thought sure it was the receiver since LNB's don't fail that often. Thanks for the input.

    HELP-Suddenly NO SIGNAL

    Will check connections again, never know! The reason I suspect the receiver is because the test shows I have signal and ?when I went to start test I got a message that tv2 was in use.

    Challenging dish site aiming problem

    I'm having a problem aiming my dish due to the location I have to put my dish. I get 110 gangbusters but 119 barely green around 20 to 25, sometimes less, which doesn't work well when a storm comes up. My post is not perpendicular/level due to a drainage pipe just under the ground but the view...

    Trouble aiming dish.... 119 comes in about 27/ 110 comes in 70+

    I'm having trouble lately with low 119 signal. I'm on a Dish 500 and a 722 receiver. The 110 comes in strong about 70 but I can't get the 119 into the 30's. I've checked the cables, re-aimed the dish, adjusted the skew with no positive results for the 119. Also, why does the transponder number...

    Free service on Sportster receiver

    Between my son and I we have two Sportster receivers that have been deactivated for quite a while. I was getting ready to list them on ebay and thought I would see if they still worked. Well, they both worked and receive all the channels. Anyone know why? Howard
