Thanks for all the help.

I finally got a locked signal. My strength is bewteen 65 and 80. Is this accepatable strengths in my area?

I have agreat line of sight. I don't have a tree or obstacle with in 500' all the way around my house. I have been using transonder 10. Should I be using 8?

I still can't get a signal using all the info you have furnished. I'm using 10' of brand new cable and connectors. I tried the cable on my 721 and it was fine. I have the dish hooked to my 501 and a small tv on my deck so I can see the bar. It's funny I can get a 60% reading on satellite 92 in...

It does not show up at all. The lnb is dishpro and not the fss one. I'm hoping by connecting directly to the reciever I will be able to get the signal and then run the switch check.

The one thing I did not do is hook the lnb directly to point the reciever. I'm still learning about the DishPro technology. If a lnb is a DishPro model would it not work with any setup as long as everything is DishPro? I only use DishPro and have no Legacy equipment or switches in place.

I have an old Dish300 and a DishPro LNBF from my Superdish. I have ran the cable from the dish to the third port on DP34. I can't get the switch check to recognize the 300. What do I need to do to get the dish recognized so I can get a signal? I am using brand new RG6 cable about 12' long. My...

Consider me one of guys perfectly happy with the SD video. I have an HDTV only because my old analog set finally quit. I have never given it much thought about going for the HD receivers and channels. If Encore Westerns someday go HD, I might consider it. Besides my two 721's work just fine...

Make me understand the why HD is a must? For the channels that are carried, none are must have. Why not let Dish sit on them and no one sign up? Would that not make a statement that the programming and pricing is unacceptable? Before HD came along, most all of us were happy with the...

For the last few weeks my radio will come on when the car is started, but after a couple minutes it goes to the aquiring satellite screen. I cut the unit off for a couple of minutes and it comes back on. Does anyone think the unit is going bad? It is 3.5 years old. Anyone have any suggestions...

It is a Vizio hdtv. Currently using a 721 to feed it.

Is there a way to utilize the earplug adapter oon the tv to get stereo speakers to work?

I just received another 721 after my original had a hard drive failure. Caller id has not worked on it at all. I guess I'll have to get by without even though it was nice when it was working.

Still no caller id. I don;t know what else to do.

Is there anyone who can help me figure this out?
