    Dish Network 508 PVR Receiver

    I've had a 508 PVR receiver for about 6 years now, and it hasn't given me any trouble. Up till last month it was in a cabinet while in use. I removed it and moved it to the den when I bought a 40" Samsung HDTV. I notice today that it has a "fan" on the rear right side. The fan doesn't run...

    Dish Network Logo On TV Screen

    I have a 40" Samsung LCD HDTV. I also have Dish Network as my programming. When I turn on the TV, the Dish logo is the first thing that "pops" up on the screen. Although, I don't have the VIP211K turned on, it still (logo) comes on. It doesn't go away even if I have my Motorola DSR-922...

I have a D/N 500 with a single dp LNB looking at 129, and it works great. My fishing partner...Larry wants to install another dish...

    Regular Viewing On A HDTV

    My "NEW" Samsung 40 inch #LN-40A550 with 1080p is set just as it came out of the carton. I've read on the AVS forum about calibrations numbers. I don't have a Blu-Ray ...what ever it is called) hooked up, nor a DVD and VCR. I just have Dish Network with a VIP211 cabled to it. What...

    Re- Engineering The 1000.2

    The Dish 1000.2 has been mounted, setup, and working. Although, 129 is sputtering...low signal strength.. That is about to change. Today when I was remounting my older Dish 500 (some three feet to the left of the new 1k2) with a new DP Dual (single) LMB to aim at 129, I notice how the 1k2...

    Dish 500 DP Pro Dual for 129.0

    Now that I'm ready to install the Dish 500 with the DP Pro Dual LNB for satellite 129 only. My azimuth (magn) is to be 224.1, elevation is 34.6. Due to the fact I'm not trying to get two satellites here, it appears to me, the screw should be 90, flat with the earth's surface... no tilting of the...

    Big Question...Will It Work?

    When I installed my Dish 1000.2, the 129 sat signal wasn't what I thought it would be. If I got a fairly good signal on 129, I lost 20% of my 110, and 119 satellites. I would rather have good signal quality on 110, and 119. So here's my plan. Remove the three LNBs on the 1000.2 arm...
