    622 Ethernet jack; features?

    Yeah I found lots of threads, just no definitive list on what it can and cannot be used for. I was hoping there would be one since there is not any mention of it in the 622 manual. I did find DishCOMM (or whatever it was called) on my own once I hooked it up last night, just wasn't very...

    622 Ethernet jack; features?

    I connected my 622 via ethernet jack last night and got it hooked up with an IP address on my network and DishCOMM. I did this because I am turning off my home phone and don't want to get charged the extra $5/month from Dish. I looked through the entire manual, the E* site and did several...

    Two 24" dishes vs. Dish 500

    Well, it took me forever to get around to doing it, but they are finally up. Without doing much tweaking (it was starting to get dark), I am now getting 110 at 108, and 119 @ 110, holy crap! Hopefully it will be nice out again tomorrow so I can get up there and really tweak them and tie up the...

    PEAK INSIDE MY NEW 921!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So, who else thinks that since tahoerob had the courage to 'expose' the 921, that he should now really "man-up" and do some experimenting with those PCI slots? In particular, try a 1394 or ethernet card?

    Two 24" dishes vs. Dish 500

    I am not sure if I can post that information or not, so I will PM you with it.

    Two 24" dishes vs. Dish 500

    I agree. The nice thing about doing this with DishPro LNBs is that I will only have to run one RG6 from each LNB (in this case 1 per dish) to the DP34 switch. Then, the DP34 feeds up to 4 receivers from there, or can even be cascaded with more DP34s. Easy!

    Two 24" dishes vs. Dish 500

    I am fully aware that it is impossible to completely eliminate rain fade, I'm just trying to lessen the chances. I agree. Yes, already did all of this. The base is very solidly anchored to a brick chimney with epoxy anchors, and I have trued the mast with a high quality level. Also, I...

    Source for Winegard DS-4061 24" dish?

    Actually that is exactly what I am looking for. Unfortunately, when I emailed Stark I got this reply; "I have the DS2077 but not the DS4061. I only have the DS4062 shipping" So my search continues. I would buy right away at that price however.

    Source for Winegard DS-4061 24" dish?

    I've been searching everywhere but have only found 2 places to order the Winegard DS-4061 24" dish, but both places want full MSRP or more for them. This is the dish with the D-tube LNB arm that fits E* LNBs. If anyone has a source where I can order 2 of these without breaking the bank...

    Two 24" dishes vs. Dish 500

    I was wondering if anyone else has tried what I am considering. I currently use a Dish 500 for 110/119 and am considering replacing it with twin 24" (Winegard DS-4061) dishes, each with a DishPro single LNB. Obviously I want to maximize reception strength but wondered what kind of increase in...
