I 100% agree with you,A huge loss of quality TV for all the wrong reasons.

The Eastern Arc rocks if you can get the upgrade,MPEG4 HD and SD expect 24 month commitment,$95 min upgrade fee if no protection plan or min $15 with protection plan,equipment cost varies 922,722 etc.. I started out with Dish on the eastern arc with a VIP 211K,added the USB2.0 external hard...

+1:)

Many new phase III conversions built this year the only complaint I get are from the ones that have a standard slimline 3 LNB and leave the receivers BBC(s) at home. Happy tailgating.:)

Although Dish doesn't consider it a DVR because it doesn't have the second satellite tuner,Getting the external hard drive for the 211 or 211k and paying the $40 one time fee is an excellent choice to reduce the cost involved in having a Dish HD DVR. All I can say it works great for me,I also...

This before and after average of the transponders was made using a VIP 211k and 1000.4 Dish 37801 on clear conditions. Aug 2-2010 average on 15 transponders = 55 Aug 8-2010 average on 15 transponders = 63 That is an average gain of 8 points per transponder, I was expecting a little more with...

That was cool,I use Google for almost everything but had not seen that before.:)

Here we go again,I'm a E* HD customer and think they do a good job with HD but the facts are D* has Ka band satellites and a truck load of capacity to do HD better.

I would put aluminum foil over the 72-77 double cap and get the 61.5 signal perfect first,watch transponder 14 on 61.5 get it as high as possible. also hook receiver to port # 3 for default 61.5 reception, port 1 =77,port 2 =72,port 3 =61.5,port4 =LNB In. You really need a meter to do a...

No you can do a 34 switch and two lines to the receiver or use the powered 44 switch and use only one line to the receiver.

I see this as a huge job opportunity,Here in the east Tn mountain areas line of site issues are a huge obstacle, changing customers from western to eastern arc or even hitting a different orbital slot is a massive under taking. Since the 129 bird isn't an option in 9 out of 10 location around...

This is going to be a Dish disaster for east Tenn,I've spent four full years setting up wing dishes for 61.5 so people can get locals in HD and all the other HD channels at that location. Many of the setups are 110,119,129,61.5 or 110,119,61.5 or 61.5 only. The 129 bird is nearly impossible to...
