Lies! Not true, a DirecTV dish is 4 foot, and that is what I currently have on 61.5, where I get CBS-HD, and none of the Voom transponders work. Trust me I ordered the first day they were available. Also, others in this and other forums, from PR, have reported the same.

Mylo, I think that things may change in the future, but it is anyone's guess as to how it would affect Puerto Rico and the caribbean. When DISH decided to enter the market here they purposefuly set spotbeams for locals, and they adjusted their other satelite 119, so that we would only need a 4...

Very nice thinking... I just found that I get about 40 signal on thr R1 satellite... I guess that confirms at least a 5 footer... :(

Well mylo, It is a sad story with Dish as they did not really think about PR when they started Voom on 61.5. For some reason (design) the Rainbow 1 satellite is too weak in PR, and you will need at least a 5 foot antenna (with rain fade) or a 6 foot antenna (no rain fade)... A 5 footer...

I have this TV and an 811... Trust me, just go to Ebay and get an HDMI to DVI cable for about 10 dollars. You are just re-asigning the pins from one connector to the other. There are no electronics involved. There is no quality issue, its digital to digital. Don't you dare spend $150 for a...

I am trying to find out who if anyone in PR, USVI, or other islands in the caribbean are receiving the new VOOM channels. If you are: - Where are you located (in general)? - Are you getting all 10 channels? - What size antenna do you have for 61.5? - What is the signal strenght like? -...

Check the UHF antenna in the back... Put it on if there already.

Huh?? Tried re-peaking using a sat meter and got from 49 to 64 on most TPs. Funny how the CBS-HD does come in just fine. As I understand Iceberg, the Rainbow and Echostar sats are both 61.5 and a dish pointed that way would pick up both. How can I scan for the Rainbow-1 TPs??? If I use...

Please let me know what the tech tells you... Thanks!

OK, here is the issue: I subs to the new voom channels. I have 119, 110, and 61.5 on a DP34 and an 811. When I got home I got nopthing from any of the voom channels, just a 002 error, "Signal has been lost...". This is saying that the odd transponders 1,3,5,7 are not being received. I...

Candy = 48 pieces Amount = $5.62

Is it possible to not see some transponders on 110 due to weather? Yesterday was quite windy and today as well. My big ol 5' dish that aims to 110 moves a little. I am able to see channel 102, which is 110 and all of HDTV without any problems, but I can't see 103 and 104 which are also on...

I have two DP21s that I just bought new and are working. I need a DP34 so I would trade. Thanks!

I think what he means is when you have cable, the guide is from TV-Guide not from the cable co, like dish, the guide is from the box updated via the sat. In cable the guide has the TVGuide logo and looks just like the TVGuide channel...

Puerto Rico doesn't allow for any multi-lnb dishes...

Would it work? I have one lnb per dish, and PR cannot use Dish500 or any multi-lnb dish.... As far as I know

:) Hello folks... Going down the path of HD, come to find out that there are still HD channels in 61.5... Too late, already bought 2 DP-21s and 2 dp-dual-lnbfs... 1. Is there a way to get 3 sats: 110, 119, and 61.5 using DP-21s? 2. What would I need? I don't really want to get...

First and foremost my location is Puerto Rico, so some of the questions would have this in mind. When dish installed in my house, they used a 4 foot channel master and a regular dual port LNB (haha it said DirecTV too)... Now I want HDTV and thanks to everyone in this forum I was able to...

I thought that the skew did not matter for the LNB? Isn't it the same as the polarity?

What about polarization??? I understand azimuth and elevation, but can someone elaborate on the concept of polarity? Thanks!

Actually I meant to ask if anyone had a link to the usuall Dish Pointing 101 website that would tell me what I need to aim the dish for horizontal degrees and vertical elevation. Thanks!

I just called a retailer and they have a 5-footer for $180!!!! In stock and ready to go hometo papa!!! I still need to buy the LNBF so the question still stands, do I need a DishPro type LNBF or can a regular run-of-the-mill cheap LNBF do the trick? Thanks to all!!!!

Do I need for the LNBFs to be DishPro as well? I wonder if dish installed legacy for my current five footer. I do have all DP equipment with a dual LNBF, no switch necessary, but not sure if it is DishPro...

I got a 2 DP21 switches, brand new, with DOA warranty from ebay for $35. If wallacezepp is right, and I can get a 5 or 6 foot for under $200 and do the install myself, then mission accomplished! "I love it when a plan comes togheter" -Hanibal

I just bought an 811 for an amazin price from korsjs! Thanks! :D That is half the battle! :smug Now I have to find a 5-foot dish in Puerto Rico for a reasonable price... :confused: This forum is a great thing. Makes one glad to look around first. :cool: Thanks and hope anyone can...
