    1000.4 Eastern Arc Pointing Question

    But am I correct in thinking that I should use the 72 bird for the tweaking?

    1000.4 Eastern Arc Pointing Question

    61.5 never came in real good after he repointed. I didn't worry about it because most of my HD programming comes from 72. I recently downgraded to the welcome pack. Now all of my programming comes in SD and on 61.5

    1000.4 Eastern Arc Pointing Question

    I had a lazy installer a couple of years ago. He didn't properly point my dish. I'm going to hop up there and re-point. I have all of my pointing info, except.. What transponders on which satellites are best for my peaking?

    Sling Adapter not working with Windows? Anyone else?

    I'm able to watch my dvr from my phone, tablet, and by using the Chrome browser. This morning when I went to log in on windows (99% of the time, this is what I use), it makes me go to a page to install a new plug in. I can't get the plug in to install. Anyone else having this issue?

    Dish 1000.4 without using a switch?

    That is correct. There is no extra wire. The wire goes from port 2 on the LNB directly to my receiver.

    Dish 1000.4 without using a switch?

    I didn't use a meter. I turned the volume way up on the tv. Opened the window. And started pointing. I used #2 port. And pointed at 72.7 61.5 and 77 also came in great. I left the wire connected to #2 port on the LNB.

    Dish 1000.4 without using a switch?

    I know how to install a 1000.4 to a DPP44 switch for multiple receivers. But today I am installing a 1000.4 to only one receiver in my summer house. Am I correct in thinking that I do not need any switch. Do I run only one wire from the LNB directly to the splitter on my 722? If so, which...

    I only pick up 72.7 but can not get 61.5 on my 1000.4

    For your inital set up and pointing, you should only connect only the 72 wire, then point. Test on transponder 21.

    Anyone here use a home signal repeater???

    I know those boonies. I looked at CellAntenna - Cell Booster, Wireless Repeater, Digital Antenna products but their systems seem much more expensive that what I'm looking to spend. If and when I decide, I'll post the results. BTW... Inside my house, I have 0 to 1 bar. Outside or in the garage...
