Dish reassigned SHO-W to 110 from 129 tp32. I can only get 119 and 129. Does that mean I'm stuck with just the SD channel now? Does complaining to Dish help?

If you go to Dish.com and click on the Facebook link nothing happens; or is it just me?

Rather be in Mexico then Chicago or Baltimore. But wait! They are in the USA so the whole country must be bad!! Please... I'll take a look see if those sats reach here - thanks for the advice.

Been traveling to Cabo for years in my RV. I have 2 tripods, each with a 1M dish - one pointed at 119, the other at 129. Worked perfectly for years but this year I'm having a lot of trouble getting a decent signal strength. Did Dish to something to the CONUS beams?

Thank you

How does one go about "PM'ing a DIRT Member?"

Refreshing this thread. I have a VIP612 that freezes up. When it does the remote does not work and the only way to unfreeze it is to hold down the reset button or unplug it. It reboots and after about 10 minutes I get the picture back. I've tried other receivers in that spot and the problem...

I have 3 separate dishes each with a DishPro LNB. I want to connect a VIP 612 DVR and use both inputs but only have 1 wire run from the swaitch. Can anyone confirm I need a DishPro Plus DP33 and one DISH Pro Plus Separator to make this work? Or does it need something else?

UPDATE - DIRT member MattG was online and got me up in 10 minutes! How does one go about giving him a trophy point?

I have a post on a similar topic (bad 211k) but similar experience trying to get a fix. Went trough all of the "steps", multiple times and the CSR said she rehit it. I think my problem is bigger than that since 100 comes in momentarily and then goes out with the 005 message. Tried this on 2...

I have a VIP211K that I've been using in my RV; always worked fine. Last week I turned it on and got a "bootstrap" error (981 I think). Somehow I managed to get past that and pointed my KVH S2 to 119. Went through the check switch routine, had good signal strength, downloaded program guide...

I am (was) an AAD subscriber for my RV receiver and am looking to get network coverage when they go away. I saw on the uplinks that Quetzsat1 (77 W) has networks available in certain EA markets (eg Jacksonville, FL) and the are CONUS, not spotbeams for that market. Would I be able to "move" to...

Iceberg, not that it matters but it really is for a buddy! He is in the States now and told me Dish called. He called them back and explained that he was home (with his Comcast) and would not be at his vacation home for a few more weeks. They said okay. Then someone else called and he told...

A buddy of mine has a home in Mexico with DN installed. He has 4 receivers connected to a DP34 switch and has sats 119 and 129 only. The audit team called and wants to verify his installation. Since he has all 4 boxes installed in his own home he should not have a problem right? I know they...

I just added 2 more receivers to my account (5 receivers/5 tuners total) and the CSR informed be that, because I have 5 receivers, I needed a phone line. My question is - do I just need one phone line to one receiver to keep the audit team away or doe each receiver require a phone line. The...
