    211 & Phone Lines

    My parents are thinking of upgrading to HD. They have never rented a pay-per-view and currently don't have a phone line hooked up to their 301. Does a 211 require a phone line to be hooked up for any reason? Thank you for your comments. Mike

    Base Plate/Mast Diameter

    Would the base (the part that gets screwed/bolted to the roof or wall) that is used for a Dish 500 mast be the same that would be used for a Winegard 76cm,Fortec 80/90cm or a GeoSat 90cm ? I have a flat roof with the rubber membrane with a base already bolted down and I was hoping to just use...

    It's GREAT!

    I received my Fortec Ultra last night from PSB and it is AWESOME! For the moment I could only hook it up to one of my Dish network feeds at a time (110/119) , but it was so cool to watch it scan thru all the transponders. The menus are easy to read and easy to understand. I watched some of the...
