    I've tried a couple of different antennas and I'm having a hard time getting a reliable signal

    This is my TV fool: I got an outdoor powered one and one of the flat powered ones for indoor use. The odd thing is that on the indoor one I get some channels that I don't get on the out door one. I would just like to get the most possible. The most problematic channel by far is 13. The rest I...

    Can't hit Simon Bolivars C-Band with a small dish

    I've been trying all day to hit the Simon Bolivar with a small dish and a CBand LNB with scalar ring. According to this: SatBeams - Satellite Coverage Maps - Sat Footprint Venesat 1 (Simon Bolivar 1) I should be able to do it with a small antenna. I'm in Puerto Rico. According to...

    Is CBand harder to work with than Ku?

    With the loss of Venesat I am looking at NSS 806 to replace it. The thing is that while I've installed two antennas for Ku band (Hispasat and Venesat). I have no experience with C Band. It looks daunting, I mean right off the bat I might need a bigger antenna. I have seen some info on mini BUD...

    Venesat Problem

    Last night I stopped receiving most of the Venesat channels (encrypted), I did a blindscan and a lot of channels (like cartoon network?) were added but all encrypted. If my interpretation of the lyngsat is correct I should still be able to receive some of the channels on the 11380 H. The only 3...

    Moar! Another Sat, another receiver, new LNB etc (questions post)

    This is a noob questions post, it might get annoying I finally got Hispasat working after months of having given up. I put in a new antenna and brought in a professional and in the end it was the LNB. I am blown away. The signal is crisp and clear and the content is great. The Microyal...

    Antena3 Petition

    I had DirecTv for a number of years and I grew tired of their bad service. To be fair DirecTV in Puerto Rico is not the same as DirecTV in the US. When I switched over the DISH the seller (terrible people, sneaky bastards!) made a lot of promises regarding programing most of them untrue but I...

    What's the biggest antenna money can buy?

    I am tired of pussyfooting around the issue. I thought a small antenna would suffice because of my area so I went ahead and got rabbit ears for $20 bucks and couldn't get all channels, then went and got a $50 buck antenna and it gets a lot of channels but it's constantly dropping off. I told my...

    Funny Thing: 6 months of free Starz instead of 3 months of HBO and Showtime

    I just joined DISH 2 weeks ago and today I took off America's Everything w Latin Pack in favor of DISHLatino Max and my free HBO and Showtime got shut off. I called and the guy said he couldn't give it back but offered Starz for 6 months instead. I thought it was a fair compromise. I really...

    Not getting SAP

    Is there a special trick to setting SAP? I know the SAP channels are very few but when it is avaliable I try to change it to it but I don't get it. There's no button for it on the controller like on my old Directv control which was the yellow button.

    Is there something wrong with my installation?

    As I mentioned before DISH was going to be installed today. I had DirecTV that worked flawlessly. The DISH person arrived at 9am and left at 1:30pm. I don't like to hover over people when they are doing their job so I didn't meddle at all. It took a long long time to get the receiver to work...
