    lnb issues

    peguin - Are you certain you received an identical LNB from ebay? Dish Network has similar looking LNB's. There is a Dish PRO version (1 port on each side of yoke), and Dish Pro 'Plus' version (2 ports on one side of yoke, and 1 'LNB-IN' port on opposite side for use with wing-dish setups)...

    Hi all - I am having trouble setting up a Shaw 605 receiver on a 60cm quad lnb dish down in the lower 48 (Arizona). I am using the Super Sat Buddy meter and am pretty confident I have the satellites pegged. My meter is indicating mid to high 70's signal on most all transponders, both...

    Court ruling today in TiVo case.

    ...or check their homes for infringing Dish DVR's. Maybe the legal and court staff doesn't want to lose their recordings. So I haven't been following this issue until recently. I understand this back-and-forth has been going on for years. Out of curiosity - why Dish? Wouldn't any company that...

    Can you use 2 UHF Remotes for TV2?

    Not at all, my friend. Each of the keys tell the remote how to act. Note the differently sized notches on each of the tabs. They push a slider switch at the base of the circuit board to change the operation of the remote.

    DPP44 Installation Question

    The 1000 dish (has a DPP Twin and a dual)... which means you have 2 available outputs for 2 dual dual receivers. If you have the 1000.2, it has 3 outputs for up to 3 dual tuners. You cannot hook a DPP44 to a DPP Twin or 1000.2 LNB. The 44 switch is intended to be hooked to DP dual LNB's...

    Install advice requested when moving

    If you don't want to sign another contract, I think you just pay the $50 install cost? Or maybe it's a hundred? I forget. Signing a new 2 yr gets you HBO/Stars for 3 months though. Cinemax for a year for a penny if you go on autopay with paperless billing. Actually, the cinemax deal is...

    Can you use 2 UHF Remotes for TV2?

    Yes... find the colored tab that matches your original #2 remote. I believe it is the blue #2 -without- the black ink, but I may be wrong about this. I'm assuming you're using a 6.3 kit? There should be an instruction book as well that lists which key is used with what receiver models. A 6.0 kit...

    Can you use 2 UHF Remotes for TV2?

    You need to go into system info, first. Either hit Menu, then 6-1-3 or turn the receiver off and hit the system info button inside the right panel on the front of your 722. Then, hold down 'sat' key on your remote until all the lights flash. Release. Hit any number between 1 and 16, then hit #...
