I've been tracking this ECHOSTAR 6 with the link you provided. Seems that it's past the 77 LONGITUDE (80.08 last time I checked) and still moving. Do you think the Engineers had a rough weekend? Engineer #1-"How come you didn't press the stop button?" Engineer #2-"Because it was your turn to...

I just checked each HD PPV channel by going to the point dish screen for each, and they all are showing 72 satellite. Will they be changing to 77 by week's end?

Thanks for the quick reply. Will the missing PPV HD channels be on the 77 satellite? The 4 that I have now are currently on 72.7. When I first installed the 1000.4, I think 77 was my weakest channel. Just checked the signal strengh for all and the best I get for 77 is 24 on transponders 4,12 &...

A couple of months ago, I installed a 1000.4 and switched from 110/119/61.5 to 61.5/72.7/77. I was told, and found out, that I was missing some HD channels due to the old configuration. So now, I go to order a PPV movie and find that I only have 4 HD channels(506,508,509 & 510). The movie I...

I tried the other day to point the D500 toward 129 and couldn't pick up a signal. My HD locals are currently from 61.5. Should I do a check switch first after disconnecting 61.5 from the D500 to "clear" it from the receiver before trying to pick up 129? I'm not sure but I thought I read this...

After thinking about this, can't I just try and aim the Dish 500 toward 129? I've checked the angles and to point to 129, the dish would only have an elevation of 12.5 degrees. I believe when I looked into this before, that elevation might be to low. But what the heck, I think I'll try it as I...

From what I'm gathering, I'll need to get a 1000.4 EA dish. Will I be able to remove the 500 dish now (61.5) and put this new dish into the same arm bracket? I do have a VIP 722. Not the "K" version. According to this site EKB: Dish Network Channels at 72.7° it seems that only "new subscribers"...

Thanks Jim S. If were to switch to 61.5/72/77, what new equipment would I need, if any. Also, are all my current channels mirrored on these other satellites so I wouldn't lose any programming? From my location it would be hard to get a line of site for the 129, if I remember correctly...

I recently received a phone call from a Dish rep saying that I needed to upgrade my equipment by the end of the year or I would lose my HD channels. I asked what needed to be upgraded, and was told my antennas and my 722. I was informed that the 61.5 satellite I currently point to would be...

I've had all my locals in HD since around April. All except the Fox locals. I was hoping that they would be in HD especially for football season. Is this because of the "dispute" between Dish and Fox? Or do other regions of the country have regular Fox channels in HD? I live in Maine.

This past winter, I purchased and installed a new 722. Was using an 811 at the time with my HD t.v. As I didn't yet install a new dish to receive 61.5, I had to keep the 811 on account to keep receiving the "old HD" package. Moved it to the bedroom where I had a 311 hooked up to a regular t.v...

Same here. The only reason I was really waiting for HD locals was for football season. Fox reception for NFL games really suck in Maine. Since the locals for Portland, ME should be all locals (including Fox), I wonder why Fox wasn't included. Maybe they don't broadcast in HD?

I've had a phone line attached to my 722 since I got it activated. So what happens if I disconnect the phone line now? Will Dish know and charge me an extra $5.00 on my next statement?

Hey Charlesrshell- Have you seen this thread? http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/133503-best-way-cool-622-a.html The link to the guy who makes coolers just for the 622/722 is pretty interesting. My temps have stayed the same after I used the USB adapter (120,111,89). I haven't gotten...

I'm with the first two posters. Is there anyone out there that knows what all that info means? The temps are obvious. But what about all that other mum-bo-jumbo?

My 722 is absolutely quiet, except for when it has to re-boot. What are your temp readings? (Menu,6,3, counters, then scroll down using the page button).

When I first set up my cooler, it seemed like it took a couple weeks to see a difference in temps. I think it has to do with the updates the receiver gets from time to time. I just ran across another item that I'm going to try: Amazon.com: Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan -...

Is there an updated list on which states charge tax on Satellite services? According to this link, there were only 6 states. I live in Maine, and have been charged 5% tax on my programing for as long as I can remember. I own and have owned all my equipment from day one. Is everyone getting taxed...

According to the link you pointed to in previous post, that adapter says "Max Output: 5 VDC, 300 mA". The instructions that came with my cooler had a specification section that gave the volts as 4.5-6, and .45A as max amperage(set on high). 1 Amp= 1000mA. So .45A=450mA. You say your adapter puts...

charlesrshell- Did a check on the adapter you use. It's only rated for 300mA. The cooler requires 450mA. Maybe your cooler isn't getting proper power? That's assuming you run it on high. Try plugging it into the receiver's USB to see if you can here a difference in fan speed. I ordered this...

From looking at your pictures, I think you have the cooler upside down? I have the same cooler, bought it here:Buy the Antec Dual-Fan Laptop Cooler and other Computer stands, docking & cooling at circuitcity.com. I have the "silver" side up. My high temp went from 127 down to 120 and average...

I was slapped with the HD enabling fee on my new 722, even though I have had the $9.99 HD package for two years with my 811. I kept the 811 on my account(replaced a 311 in upstairs bedroom) because I was told that since I didn't have a dish pointing to 61.5, I would lose the HD pack if I took...

Is there anyone out there that has both a 811 and 722 on their account? Does your 811 still get the MPEG2 HD channels?

Everthing has been moved from 121. Nothing on 121 anymore. So the way my ports are now(110,121,119) have been wrong alll this time? I'm assuming that the order that they show on the system info screen is the order they are attached to the switch. 119 should always be first? I currently have...

I am ready to install a second dish to receive 61.5 feed. I bought a new 722 a month or so ago and was hit with the "$7 HD enabling fee" because I was told that I didn't have all the correct sat. feeds for this new receiver. I've had the $9.99/month HD package for the last two years that is tied...
