    Commercials with no sound at all

    I began noticing this about a month ago on the HD channels.. didnt bother to mention it as I consider it a blessing!!!! I wish all commercials did that instead of blasting out with the increased volume. I m considering this bug my auto mute button. This is one bug I dont care about Dish fixing.

    Technical questions and advice - Caribbean: HD/Regular/FTA

    Duggan is right. NO WAY Three sats in one dish. That only works inCONUS. Outside Conus and more specifically the Caribbean its one sat per dish. It does not matter if you are trying to get dish or FTA. Maybe you can get two but it would need a 1.8 M or larger and no guarantee. There are only...

    Sat. 110 and 119 in Cancun, Mexico

    Yes you do need two dishes, but 110 needs a big one. I think its not worth the $$$ if you're only gonna use it for a couple of days.

    Can you force receiver to pull channels from one satellite only

    I would guess it is a no go for 129 in the caymans. Nelson has posted footprint maps for most sats including 129 (current) not the new one going up, and it looks like a no go. From the looks of it the new 129 might be a possibility at your location.

    Dish in Mexico City, Mexico

    Rob, to get Dish reception in Mexico City you will need a 2.4m dish for 110. After the echo 8 to 11 change, the footprint over mexico changed. Some that did not have signal before have 80s and 90s, and those that had good signals before lost them. The footprint totally changed. The DTV Lnb will...
