Assuming you're talking about a single-LNB with 2 outputs, aka a DirecTV "basic" dish pointed at the 101 sat, then, yes, absolutely. Folks do it all the time.

Were I in this situation, I'd run a temporary wired phoneline to the nearest outlet to the receiver to test. Performance with wireless phone jacks has always been hit & miss, and the fact that both Dishcomm and the wireless phone jacks are having problems tells me that your power lines have...

Dish does not allow their "Duo" receivers to be used for pre-paid service. You're pretty much limited to a single 301, unless you plan to pay double for service to a pair of 301s. Since it's just you, it would be easier to use a splitter on the output of the 301 so that you can feed the signal...

Professionals DO offer that. Just not for free, and FREE is what 99.9% of Dish customers are looking for, and thus what Dish has to design for.

That's not why. The reason why is because if the TV2 had HD outputs, a ton of customers would INSIST that Dish find a way to connect their TV2 in HD as part of the free install. Just try to imagine what that might involve, and then, let me tell you from an installer's point of view that it's...

The 300 will be plenty.

I'm sure this is exactly the issue. Partners with working agreements aren't going to be happy if one of them is publically blaming issues on the other. As customers, folks want the information, but public companies rarely release anything but good news unless they are otherwise required.

No, the 222/222k does not have software to turn it into a DVR or use an EHD in any way. IMO, it's unlikely that this will ever be an option, due to the throughput limitations of the USB interface. The 211s are okay with a single tuner, but recording dual tuners while watching a third likely...

So let's be clear: the StealthRay is a Ku-band, receive-only satellite antenna that ALSO has 2-way WiFi capabilities. That's why it's only $3,500. An actual 2-way mobile satellite antenna (i.e., it can SEND information TO the satellites, as well as receive) is going to be $100,000 or more...

At 345', you're definitely going to have big problems with voltage loss. The voltage from the receivers isn't going to be high enough to run the LNB/switch at that length. To go that far, you'd need some solid-copper RG11, and once you find out what that's going to cost, you'll probably decide...

Call Dish and ask about the Discontinued Receiver Upgrade. They should upgrade you to a 211.

Running a Check Switch causes the receiver to scan the switch/LNB configuration and stores those settings so that the receiver knows where to find the signals it needs. EVERY TIME you change anything to do with your LNB/switch, you must re-run Check Switch to reconfigure the receiver for the...

If you have wet, heavy snow, or ice build-up on your dish (even small amounts), you will lose signal. Warm (not hot) water in a Super-soaker can fix this right up. If you live somewhere that normally has heavy winter storms, a dish heater is a wise investment.
