...of the original LNBF. I drew a red dot at the approximate center point of the original feedhorn. I used this to line up the new LNBF. I've done *very* little tweaking other than azimuth and I'm getting a solid lock off of G19 even during the rain we've had today. The Outernet...

...11149), they are fine for a few minutes and they slowly get choppy. A blindscan finds this at 11811, if I edit the TP manually to 11807, it gets a *little* better but not much. If I change to any other TP and then back to this mux, it's fine again for several minutes. I don't seem to...

I thought I'd share this with you guys. When I chose where to put the dish, I knew I wouldn't get anything east of about 85W due to a large tree, and it's proved true for 72W where I get no signal. I've been debating on adding a second dish to pick up some things my motorized 90cm won't get...

Hi (again) guys, OK, so I put a post in the ground, mounted the rotor, dish, etc - followed the STAB directions, watched the Sadoun videos, and I think I did everything right. The motor tries to move, the shaft/dish moves maybe a degree or so, but then the motor stops and rotates back to...

Hi guys! Some may recall I'm currently using a GeoSatPRO 90cm mounted to a PA speaker tripod. It's working great! But I'm getting tired of re-aiming to try different satellites, so I ordered an HH90 motor. I'll probably mount the whole thing temporarily to the same tripod I'm using now...

Hello everyone! I've been "planning" to dabble in FTA for years now but never pulled the trigger. I decided to finally take the plunge to experiment with Outernet on Galaxy 19 - might as well enjoy some FTA while I have the gear. I ordered a GEOSATpro 90" dish/LNB kit off of eBay and am...

...charges. I told her I didn't like being called a liar and asked to speak to a manager. After another 15 minutes of holding, a rep who was a *bit* calmer explained that the credit card issuer was reporting that I had reported the charge as unauthorized. Again, I've done no such thing...

Hi all, I recently switched from E* to D* and thus far I'm happy. I had two 722s and one of them I had to purchase since they would only lease me one at the time. Dish confirmed twice that they have it as an owned receiver when I canceled, and I would be happy to provide the receiver...

DirecTV customer for about a month now. I seem to have a raid fade problem. When it rains "moderately" out (light yellow on weather radar), my HD channels on 103c become choppy/pixelated or drop out completely. On signal strenth, I get 60s or 70s on most satellites but all zeroes on 103c...

Hi all, I have heard that some people are using TVersity and other media servers to share video to their HR-21's. I have an old XBox running XBMC solely to watch videos off of my computer. I'd love to ditch the Xbox. My computer, however, is a Mac. I'm wondering if anyone is having...

It seems like a lot of people have been switching lately -- I think the BSG premiere was a tipping point for a large number of people. I thought it might be interesting to have a thread going where people can briefly share their reason for switching, how their install went, and compare the...

Hi all, I'm an E* convert. With no new HD and the BSG premiere, I decided to pull the switcheroo. Their current promos topped with the AAA offer made it a no brainer! Anyway, I was so impressed with my installation I wanted to share some pictures. Also, I was so *unimpressed* with my prior...

Hi all, My install is in progress. I'm checking signal strengths on the main receiver while the tech is instaling another. I'm only getting 60-75 range on 99(s) and a 0 on TP6, and all zeroes on the first 8 transponders at 103(s) (it seems, I only let it et 1/2 way through or so). I'm also...

Hi all, I'm receiving two HR21's (I assume over HR20) on an upcoming installation. On my Dish 722, I currently run HDMI to my TV and component to my Slingbox Solo, as both outputs are active. Will I be able to do this on the HR21?

Hi all, I'm likely switching over here pretty soon. I have the itch for BSG in HD, and it doesn't look like E* is going to scratch it before the premiere. A SatGuy who happens to be a Bluegrass installer was kind enough to come out and discuss my options with me in advance (you know who...

Hi all, I have a TiVo Series3 that I bought about a year and a half ago. At the time I prepaid for 3 years of service. I switched to Dish a few months back, as my cable company is doing a terrible job of keeping up in HD. For the time being I have no use for my beloved Series3. I had...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good reseller in Cleveland? I'm thinking of making the jump from Dish. Not committed yet, but thinking about it. I learned my lesson with my Dish install -- go with a local retailer and pay extra to have a proper install. Would love to know who...

There HAS to be one, so here it is. :) Anyone think anything will be added today? Scott did mention a "gut feeling" in the Monday night chat...

Hi all, About 2 months back I received a call during the day from DISH. They offered me Starz for $7.95/mo for as long as I kept the package. I noticed on my last bill that I was being charged $20/mo for two premiums. I called to find out why, and they told me that the $7.95 price is...

Hi all! I came across a second 722 recently. My first one is in single mode connected to a single TV, so I have no use for the UHF remote. My second one I will be installing in my basement rec room, which means I'll easily be able to feed the TV2 home distribution to the analog TV's I...

Happy new year! There have been a lot of posts about 722 lip sync issues. It seems that the issues have gotten better since L448 and in general. I still notice minor delays, but I think it might be in the video processing the 722 does before outputting it. My eyes seem to be very touchy...

A few weeks ago, someone posted an e-mail address to the list to contact TNT. I wrote them about stretching their content. Here is the response I got: Thought I'd share...

Hi all, Question on ATSC frequencies used for OTA digital broadcasts. It was my understanding that all digital OTA is UHF, so that the VHF spectrum used for channels 2-13 can be cleared up after the digital cutover. However, I'm now seeing indications that anything on ATSC channels 2-13...

...(110/119/121) and a DP34 are still mounted at a place I used to rent for my dad. I've never bothered to pull them down. I'm back with E* at my new house using a newer 1000.2. I obviously have no need for the old stuff, but I'm wondering... Is any of that stuff worth anything? Should...

Hi all, I recently had a E* 1000.2 installed. Two coax feeds come from the dish, one going to my 722 and one going to my 211. The one going to the 722 uses a DPP separator to feed the two tuners via one coax. I'm thinking about adding another 211 or 222 in the bedroom, but I'm pretty...
