What smell? The smell of the stock? Or the smell of Burton Gilliam ripping em off one after another lol?

I think I know that guy? We went to different schools together. :oldlaugh

Yee Haw indeed. How's about some more beans Mr Taggart? I'd say you've had enough! HD is one thing, 4K another. What about smellavision?

And meanwhile, while pondering the above.

All those companies could of taught Al Capone or John Gotti a few extorsion lessons. We have Armstrong who are the only game in town. Buy the 3 way bundle and its more or less unlimited on the internet package. Drop the TV and phone keeping the same internet plan, and they charge you an...

So with AOTA aside, how does one get one of these 1000.4 LNBF's apart? The two halves of the cast metal housing seem to be press fit together? I have to dissect this thing, just got to do it. I know, I know, no user serviceable parts inside lol. I'm curious as to what makes one of these crap...

Thanks, So about half a dozen peaking sessions in the sun on 90 degree days, each time dragging 125' of extension cord, the receiver, and a 7" TV down through the woods, and $62 and change with the shipping being almost half. Life is good. LOL..... A little bit of work fixing something that a...

Yes Sir, EA. The sweet smell of success, well not really a smell. Thanks for all the comments, advice, etc. Just replaced the LNB while clearing the receiver, ran check switch.......Hello. On the shot above port 4 shows N/C. The bad LNB showed CONN under 61.5? I assume N/C is no connection...

The one I have turns freely, the one that just arrived is tighter than a .......................

I guess I am going to find out this evening. And Interestingly Fedex evidently knows what a PITA this situation, or perhaps myself, has been.

The best pizza in da burgh is actually in Squirrel Hill. Mineo's or Aiello's when younz go through Pittsburgh again. Take your pick or hit them both, both are on the same street, in the same block. Take a double dose of cholesterol and hypertension meds prior to.

I didn't know they were all the same, thanks. I believe I read somewhere a long time ago that once you run check switch on the 211K with nothing connected, then connect to port 2 on the 1000.4 the only "eye" that would then be powered would be for 72.7 and would eliminate the chance of mixing...

Thanks, but my understanding of the 0.4 EA dish is once checkswitch is cleared and saved, the only LNB active is the 72.7 as long as the coax is connected to port #2? I had actually thought about looking for 61.5 with the 72 or 77 LNBs just to confirm the 61.5 LNB is dead, never got around to it.

I appreciate all the comments / help. Yes I have 72.7 and 77 dialed in solid, at least as solid as I have ever had at this particular place, which I have set up at least 8 times a year for the last 5 years or more and never had this kind of crap to deal with. At least I can get something and...

Thanks for that. I just spent 2 hours in the beating sun playing with this damn thing which involved stretching 125' of extension cord down through the woods to set the 211K up beside the Dish. Now no matter what I do I can not get 61.5 to show in check switch. My procedure. Disconnect the...
