    using a WA integrated feed on a D500 (D1000)+ dish

    Yes, it is possible to use a 500+ reflector with everything else being a WA and it will work with a lot higher signal strength than you can get with the WA reflector. I have done this and I was amazed at the signals because I had never seen that strong of a signal in any kind of previous...

    Problem with sling adapter and laptop

    But it works fine non-stop until I install the updates. So if it didn't meet the specs, why would it work for over an hour after a fresh Windows install and then just stop after the updates? Thank you for taking the time to try helping. And after talking to the CSR's for over an hour yesterday...

    Problem with sling adapter and laptop

    Here is the problem that I am having. When trying to use the sling adapter to watch remotely at home on my local network, it will work if I use an old version of the sling player and not trying going through dish's website. This however doesn't show the tv guide or give me access to my DVR...

    1000.2 lnb interchangable with 1000.4 ?

    actually, using the proper stuff doesn't always give u the best result. that is just what the company deems more cost efficient. for instance, i have even used a 500+ reflector with a .4 skew, arm, bracket, and .4 WA and I have never seen the signal strength as high as i was able to get it doing...

    1000.2 lnb interchangable with 1000.4 ?

    First, adjust your skew settings and elevation to the proper settings for a 1000.2 in your area. Second, Take the 1000.4 bracket that holds the LNB on to the arm and cut out the little middle tab. Then take a 1000.2 LNB and attach it to the bracket. It will fit just fine if you cut the middle...

    Has anyone tried????

    yeah, we have the new .4 WA lnb's sitting in our warehouse also. they seem to be quite bigger than the .2 WA lnb's.

    Mirrored a 722K

    Yes, it is possible. There is a catch however. In order to do this, you need to have to TV2 remotes to start with. You would then take one of the TV2 remotes and on the bottom where you see the blue TV2 tab, you would then take the battery cover off, pull out the tab, and then flip it over so...

    Has anyone tried????

    Actually, that is an old trick that I and many other techs have been using when in need (like missing some part to build a 1000.2 from my van). All we needed to do was build a 1000.4 dish with the proper skew and elevation for WA, and then cut the middle tab off the end LNB bracket and a 1000.2...

    DISH Network Software Release Notes 9/30/10

    The volume leveling is under Main Menu, System Setup, Audio Output. There is a spot for Volume Leveling enable/disable. It appears the software update automatically selects Enable for it. And I have to agree with one of the previous posters. I absolutely hate the new color when your guide is...
