this whole thread is confusing me the more i look at it. like the wiring diagram used. now there are dpp 500+ lnbs so no switch is needed. but if you have a line of sight issue on your old 1000+ setup using an old lnb then just don't hook up the lnb output of the satellite with no line of sight...

And 77w??? thats been online for a long time. Do you mean your local channels will be switching to 77w??? 77w is mostly locals.

what the heck would you need 5 sats for? just use either eastern arc or western arc depending of which satellite broadcasts your locals. other than that east arc and west arc are directly mirrored in programming. absolutely no need for this 5 sat setup. if you got nlos for 1 sat on a 1000.2 or...

Hmmm, installing a fan in your receiver...did you purchase your receiver or are you leasing it? Well, anyways, I hate to break it to you but most of the HD receivers you will get from Dish are refurbished...and some aren't refurbished well. Go to menu - #6 "system setup" - #1 "installation" -...

Another idea is to reset factory defaults. That will sometimes fix weird problems with the receivers. Go to Menu and hit #6 for "system setup" then go to #5 (I think) "reset factory defaults." Let the receiver do its thing and see of that fixes things.

The post right before this one is quite valid. Check that. The only other thing I can think of is that some flat-screen tvs use an infrared remote sensor bar that interferes with dish network remote signals. Try turning your problem receiver 90 degrees and then position yourself so that you are...

So....what do you mean when you say you have a "3 dp lnbs?" Do you have 3 single lnb units (each unit has 1 eyeball and is shaped like an L and has 1 or 2 coax connections)? Or do you have 1 lnb that has 3 eyeballs on it and has 4 coax connections on it lables 1, 2, 3 and "LNB IN?" If you have 1...

wow.... heck yeah 110 in the 40s is low low low for clear weather. Any good tech would repeak that dish right away as well as check line of sight for all 4 sats with his/her inclinometer if there was any question about los. You're just getting blown off by bad techs. And I don't know how other...
