Thank you for all the helpful suggestions. I am sure the information you provided will allow us to get this dish changed over.

If I repeak the dish as you say, won't that throw off 110 and 119? It seems to me that the dish should not be moved in order to preserve reception on 110 and 119.

Voyager6, I did the search that you mentioned and from that it seems that I need to get a DishPro Dual LNBF like this one: The Dish Store - Powered by Metro25 That LNB should be able to receive 129. I would think that the way to go about mounting it is to: 1. Remove the 121 LNB. 2. Mount...

RickDee, as I said, we prefer to do this ourselves. You are probably correct in that the locals will be carried on 129. How do I go about changing this superdish so that it will receive 129 instead of 121? Can the 121 LNB just be re-aimed by shifting it on its mount, or do I need a new LNB and...

My neighbor has a super dish that gets 121, 110, and 119. He says that the satellite that carries his local stations will be shut down soon and the locals will be moved to a different satellite. I think his locals are on 121 now. I am going to help him get his dish changed over so it will accept...

You're right. I do like your site better, especially the way you can do both the download and upload in one test.

It seems that I have found the answer to this question. If you go to the Wildblue Help section, there is information there about how to use a web site called Toast.net to test both your upload and download speeds. I tried it out and it seems to work!

I am a new WB customer. Is there a way to view the actual download and upload speeds in real time? It would be best if that info was in graph form, but numerical data would be OK.

Damn. My 811 had been working fine for quite some time. Now with 3.34 it loses program guide information every once in a while and has to download the program guide. The same thing was happening about a year ago but had been fixed with subsequent software releases. Now with 3.34 it is back again.

I read somewhere that this Monday's Charlie Chat will be broadcast in HD.

One thing that I noticed is that when you visit the forums, the thread titles that I had previously read still seem to be in Bold type. Up until this time, only unread titles were Bold.

I just finished insatlling a dish 500 system at my cabin in northern Wisconsin. I did the best I could to aim the dish but the 110 signal is much bettern than 119. I am getting a signal strength of about 104 for the 110 satellite and signal strength of about 65-70 for the 119 satellite. I think...

I'm not having any problems with my 811 now. The 3.30 software cleared up the remaining problems that I had at the time.

I saw something interesting on the web site of one of the local TV stations in the Green Bay, WI area. It states that there is a move underway to bring all local stations plus approximately 30 cable stations to market over the air. Monthly cost is expected to be about $25. They expect it to be...

Thanks Stargazer. I can tell you have installed a few of these.
