    Cancelled Dish. LNB return question

    Thanks guys ! So I'll assume the LNB return instructions in the box are just something they send to everyone and I can safely ignore. Thx !

    Cancelled Dish. LNB return question

    I called dish last week and cancelled my service and they sent me a box yesterday to return my leased receiver. Inside the box I see a flyer which says I'm required to return the LNB as part of the return process and goes on describing how to pack it along with the receiver. My dishes...

    Lost 129 how to connect 61.5 on the roof

    Just an update for my friends here... my replacement receiver arrived and I hooked it up and connected to the 61.5 dish as before and all my previously missing HD channels showed up. :-) After all the problem appears to be with my original receiver. Now I need to go back to my original...

    Lost 129 how to connect 61.5 on the roof

    I agree Rich.. I also have some doubt a new receiver will fix this. the Tech I spoke to.. didn't seem to know what the VOOM HD channels are or if they're on the 61.5 sat. I had to explain.. and she wanted me to spell out the channel names. Even after that she sounded clueless. Obviously she's...

    Lost 129 how to connect 61.5 on the roof

    Called Dish.. and after being on the phone for almost an hour.. the tech concluded I must be having a faulty receiver.. Offerd to send me a replacement but wanted to charge me for shipping & handling. I was leasing the receiver so I declined to pay. I told her if I'm not getting my channels...

    Lost 129 how to connect 61.5 on the roof

    Yes I do have 2 diplexers. One on the roof combining voom dish & OTA antenna. I split at the receiver on the ground to seperate the signals. (Had the same setup for my old 811 receiver) I just went to the menu as you suggested. the default transponder showing now is "02". I changed it and...

    Lost 129 how to connect 61.5 on the roof

    I tried what Randall suggested here but still not getting my VOOM channels. Could this be due to the fact now I'm using a VIP211 receiver ? Previously I used an 811 with this setup and got all the HD channels on 61.5. After upgrading to vip211/1000.2 I didn't use this 61.5 dish until now...

    Lost 129 how to connect 61.5 on the roof

    What's HD Essentials ? No.. I didn't change anything.. I have an 18 months contract with Dish. Accounts shows "Dish HD Ultimate" with America's top 100. Are all HD channells on the 61.5 dish ?? (I'm missing all the VOOM + HDnet etc.)

    Lost 129 how to connect 61.5 on the roof

    They want me to pay $50 to come back :mad: In the meantime I decided to directly connect my old VOOM dish line to my VIP211 receiver hoping I'll get my old HD channels back. Ran checkswitch and it detected the sat. and program guide was downloaded. However, I don't see the old VOOM...
