    Johnstown/Altoona Spot Beam Strength

    I live in State COllege, PA. Can anyone in this general area tell me what kind of signal strength you are getting on the spot beam for these locals TP3 at 119? I am only getting like 70 and ALL my other TP's are showing 90-100+ so I think something is not quite right. I don't think my dish...

    P226 301 Flakeouts

    My 301 was recently updated with P226. Since then, I get random signal losses at all different times for NO reason. Now tonight, I was flipping around on the channel guide when my guide just Locked up...TOTALLY FROZE. I had to pull the smart card to get the thing to reboot and then it worked ok...

    2700 Fluke on Activation

    Hi, I have a model 2700 and an old Dish 500 Antenna I just gave my father-in-law to activate for his boat at the lake. Since its on the boat, of course it is not in a phone line. He called to order the AT60 with locals pak and the CSR told him his account was activated. The receiver did indeed...

    Questions on 322?

    I have a few questions on the 322 receiver...First off...Dish claims that these are NOT FOR SALE and can only be had by lease holders, but there are currently about a half dozen or so on E-Bay. Are these legit? I mean, can they be had by us or if I bought one would Dish most likely tell me I...

    email addy to report poor local quality

    I know there was once an email address at Dish to use to report poor picture on a local station. The Johnstown/Altoona affiliates just went online today and ABC-23 is very bad...lots of ghosting, etc. I wanted to inquire if this will be addressed at some point. (You can tell its an OTA signal...

    Disturbing news on the Turner Channels

    :evil: I emailed Dish the other day to voice my opinions as to any notions of Dropping the Turners and to let them know that my kids especially would miss Cartoon Network and even more so BOOMERANG (the only place to see the good old ones these days) and here is what I got back from them...

    Likelihood of seeing Turners dropped

    :evil: What is your opinion of Charlie's latest "poker strategy" at threatening last night to turn off all the Turners? I mean really, what would Dish's lineup look like without Cartoon Network, Boomerang, CNN, TNT, TBS, etc. I know people say this is all part of his strategy to get the deal...

    What makes a Dishpro LNB so special?

    :?: Ok...seriously what makes the Dishpro LNB's so special. I'd love to do a dedicated dish to look at 121 (or 105) or wherever my locals end up and Dish says if you have Dishpro stuff, it cannot be done since their KU Band LNB is Dishpro only, etc. Surely someone makes the thing for them...

    Ku Band LNB and DP34???

    Anyone know of any KU Band LNB's which will work with the DP34 switch? I really want to do a 2nd dish for 105 and don't want to rip out all my old stuff and revert to legacy stuff and an SW-64 to make this possible. I am sure Dish is just buying their LNB for the KU Band from someone. Does...
