Your real problem is that your installers really didn't do the right thing in trying to peak your 1000.4 to 79 and 77 since in Rochester we're not in the 77 orbital slot's conus footprint. Only the far southern part of NY state touches the very weakest fringe of the 77 orbital slot's...

Peano and Beef4me thanks guys. These sites have been perfect. I'm all set to check all the LOS locations I need next week thanks to you guys. The 2 sites' results match up exactly. Peano's site works great with windows with a recently updated Java virtual machine but doesn't work in Ubuntu...

The reason we switched from DirecTV to Dish was for the Italian channel RAI. Our cable provider always had it and we were surprised when DirecTV didn't so after our contract was up we came to dish and have been very pleased with it so far. Fox Soccer HD is also nice however it's disturbing...

thanks peano

Is there a good centralized website where can i get information on what days and times I can use the sun as a LOS tool for each individual satellite from a particular lat/long during this cycle? It would be a huge help for finding a new mounting location behind some trees in my yard before...

I've been with Dish Latino Max from the start because I really want the History channel (english version), Travel Channel, DIY, BBC America ESPN and ESPN2. Both packs are a great deal but yeah, DOS is super cheap if you can live without the "headliner" stations that the MAX package includes.

Rochester's HD locals are on 61.5. SD locals are on 110. I'm also in the Rochester area. Did the installer put up a single dish (the 1000.4)? I'm curious because I did my own EA changeover a couple of weeks ago and couldn't get a good lock on the 77 satellite so I went with a 61.5,72.7,110...

So does this mean Mun2 and Azteca will go HD before Telemundo? ...or is 826 going to be TelemundoHD?

Worked out great. Everything I was missing from my 61.5/72.7/110 setup were added to either 72.7 or 110. The channels that wound up on 77 were already on or were just added to 110. So, if you have trouble picking up 77 like I do in upstate, NY you can now easily do an "alternate" eastern arc...

Awsome! Thanks for posting that Kstu! I'll check it out now to see if it has everything 110/119 had.

you're only going to need 61.5 and 72.7 which you can easily get with one dish 500 with 2 single lnbs on a Y yolk. Just add a little extra space (about .75") between the lnb eyes. If you do a search on the forum for "61.5 72.7" you'll get some good how-to info.

I just wish they'd support Linux as I refuse to connect any of my laptops to airport wifi networks anymore after a vicious worm got into my windows machine and someone got access to my banking logins. Till then I'll just stick to using the wine version of the slingplayer client on my ubuntu...

much love scott :) keep up the great work. I hope the rumors are correct again kudos to the forum for helping me keep ahead of the curve. FYI: Apparently the reason why our locals are on 61.5 here in upstate NY is because I can't seem to get a fix on 77 no matter what I try. All I can get in...

ughh... soon ;) yeah I sort of figured. Oh well, I actually think I'm going to be ok till then. I realized I had an old dp21 in the tool chest so I figure I can put my old DPtwin (2lnbs 2outputs) on the 110 dish to pickup 110/119 so I have all the latino range package channels. I just have to...

Back in March the DishLatino channels (the 800's) were moved to the 72.7 orbital location but as of yet they are still "Not Available". As a subscriber to DishLatino Max and living in upstate NY I was given an install of 61.5/110/119 back in August '09. Then all the new HD came out and I REALLY...
