Thanks dare2be. I see you are coming up on your anniversary. And almost have as many post as I do. I got a lot of reading to catch up on. SW

Haven't been active on SatelliteGuys for awhile, been too busy with other life functions. Was reading this thread about the Hopper and Joey, made it through page 39 and then jumped to the last page (52). I see a lot of comments both pro and con, from posters I recognize and some I don't...

Sounds like he has a Dish 1000.2 with the integrated LNBF, and a Dish 300/500 as a wing dish for 61.5. As Bountykiller said, he should be able to replace the Dish 300/500 with a Dish 500+, and just feed the 118 LNBF into the Dish 1000.2. He will not have to buy a 4 orbital switch (DPP44)...

The 1000.2 is a 3 orbital position dish for 110/119/129, with a built-in DishPro Plus compatible switch which includes a sat input for a 4th orbital location using a stand-alone dish. (1) Are you feeding your 1000.2 into an external switch, and if so, what model? (2) What model receiver or...

That's about the way I feel. And while they're learning a little German and other languages, teach them a little electronics and wave propagation theory. :) Take care.

I agree with you Claude - "I don't know what the big deal is, give DISH your SSN and activate the account! If you don't want to give up all 9 digits, give them the last 4 so they can know who they are dealing with!" However.... A man has got to have principles Therefore, Vegassatellite - Find...

Probably operator error. :) Try putting foil or a heavy cloth over the eye of the 110 LNBF. With your mast plumb in all directions, set your skew, then set your elevation, then look for 119. When you find it, peak the azimuth (east/west) and the elevation (up/down). DO NOT PEAK THE SKEW...

??????? You lease 2 receivers and connect to a phone line.... 1st receiver has no lease fee. 2nd receiver has a lease fee of $5, $6 for an HD 2nd receiver has an additional outlet fee $5 that is waived if connected to same phone line as first. So 2nd leased receiver is either $5 or...

The DPP44 requires cables that have the center conducter (stringer) longer than most applications. It probably was just making connection when you had signals. Glad the OP got his working.:hatsoff: That said, there are many debates here about the DPP44 working without a Power Inserter, as...

That is hard to believe that they updated a web page.:D In the past, whenever you called Dish and questioned them about something, they go to their cheat sheet item number ##, and tell you their web page is not updated. However, I thought all accounts with minimal programming that leased...

Just finished reading through this thread and it sounds like RedSavina and many others are paying a "Leased Receiver Fee" on their one and only receiver. Way to go Charlie!:up Also on the fees, I wonder if he is slowly charging $.49 sales tax to all subscribers? :confused: Although not...

I still feel strongly both ways. :D I have a 622, but I think I got it. :) - If I want to discuss programming except HD programming, go to Dish Forum. - If I want to discuss HD programming, go to Dish HD Forum. - If I want to discuss the capabilities of my 622 which is a HD receiver, go...

And you may also want to try... - Remove the power to all 3 receivers by unplugging each at the electrical outlet. - Remove electric power to the DPP44 Power Inserter. - Wait a few minutes. - Make sure you have the DP Separaters for all 3 receivers correctly connected, i.e., Sat-1 to...

I agree it's a good explanation.:) But he'll have to pass on the grand prize do to a typo. Legacy equipment uses 18 Volts for Even; and for Odd uses 13 volts, not 14.:D
