My brother and I have been working at my Mom's house near Berryville, VA (22611) to try to get WRC-TV 4-1 from Washington, DC. First the setup and what we have tried so far. The antenna is a combo antenna from about 1982 and is about 11 feet long with both VHF and UHF sections (we don't...

Good Day, I was just given a 12 footer from the roof of a local Fire Station. Wife says only ONE Bud !! I have my trusty 10 Foot Channel Master - - available for Free (local pickup only). I'm near Berryville VA - - which is in the northern tip of Virginia. See Picture and the thread where...

We recently had some pretty high winds that turned my 10 foot Channel Master at least 50 or 60 degrees off where it should be. I just repointed it - - - trying to get back on 58W and very much by accident ended up on 55.5W Intelsat 805 (well I can tell you for sure I'm staying on 55.5W). It...

I just got an AZBox Elite HD - - - thanks phlatwound Anyway, so far the first thing I did was update the firmware to 0.9.5309 using a USB - - no issues. i have several questions how folks are setup using an AZBox. Do most folks have them setup using a Loop out from another receiver? I ask...

I like the Halloween Theme - - - very cool!!! :up

Sorry, I could not resist!!!!

I fine tuned my C-Band dish fixed on 58W and now get 34 channels FTA. I still think I can get it better. For example, 4120 V 27500 has a Q of 71 on microHD with cloudy skies and a slight mist falling. I have several questions - How can you know precisely when the skew is set exactly...

I would like to give a dish, receiver and setup to an FTA newbie in my local area. I have the dish and receiver and will help you get started with your first setup. Must be within a reasonable distance from me. I'm near Winchester, VA. Got these both recently and want to pass them along...

I was given a Coolsat 7000 micro-PVR today. But they did not have the remote. Of course it has hack code on it but I want to use it for pointing dishes outside. Anyone have a Coolsat 7000 remote they want to get rid of?

Recently moved my 10 footer to 58W - - - but I'm missing some channels. I get 36 channels FTA and it should be something like 45 channels. i decided to cut the top out of the closest tree as I think it is blocking part if my signal. Pretty sure as my signal is fairly high on the channels that...

I saw Brian's video about the new GeoSatPro 1200 scanning 58W C-band (very nice video - - thanks Brian). And I decided I should repoint my dish to 58W too. (It had been on 91W for a very long time - - - no motor). Anyway I was adjusting the skew and noticed how bland and lifeless the LNB...

Went to DC a few weeks ago and took this picture with my phone. Thought it was kinda cool with the Capitol and the dishes in the foreground.

AMC 21 - - - which many of use for PBS - - - has a Center of the box of 124.9 Seems like a small thing but made a slight improvement for me on 125W KU. http://www.ses.com/4405429/tool/centerofbox?download=y&sat=AMC-21

I have a theory that the microHD is somehow limited to plus or minus 60 degrees of your true south location. Even if you select DisEqc 1.2 it will not got further east or west of the USALS limit. i have not proved this yet - - - that is why I'm asking. But on my S9 and SonicView I could get...

Went and asked about this antenna that I had been watching. The guy said he did not use it and it had been there a long time. He asked $50 and I said sold. I pick it up next Saturday. It is either a Channel Master 4250 or 4251 - - - I'm sure which yet as I could not measure it. :)

OK, I'm stupid - - - don't do what I did!@!! :( I was using my microHD to point my 10 foot Channel Master outside - - and without thinking used a 7/16 wrench to tighten the COAX. Of course I broke the middle wire solder inside the microHD. I had to take it apart and solder it back - - -...

I'm really a cheap bastard - - - thus it was very hard for me to justify moving up from the Welcome Pack to Dish America. I had just recently upgraded my receiver from a VIP 211K to a VIP722 which I like very much because of the Dual Tuners. My only regret is that I did not upgrade back when...

Just noticed the VIP 722 now has software version L790RJ2D-N Does anyone know what changes, fixes or enhancements are in this new software version?

I thought I might be able to move away from my trusty Dish DTVpal DVR by using the OTA tuner in the 722. But I think the OTA tuner in the DTVpal DVR is far superior to the OTA tuner in the 722. I'm definitely on the fringe for OTA, but there really is no comparison between the two tuners...

Purchased a 722 off Craigslist today - before I paided I called Dish and they said it can be activated. The problem is it seems to be stuck on the Western Arc and no matter what I do - I cannot get it to run the the check switch correctly. unplugged, hold to reset, ran multiple check switch...

I current have a very basic setup that I installed myself. Eastern Arc - VIP211K with a 1TB EHD (Welcome Pack and HeartLand Pack) - not on a contract ($23.67) I do a lot of manual scheduling, but because I only have one tuner - I get many conflicts. i can get either a 722 locally for about...

I have a brand new DiSeqC 4x1 switch that should be working correctly but I'm not getting power to 2 of my LNB's. Port 1 goes to the LNB on my motor and it gets power (this one is working) Port 3 goes to the new 1.2 dish for 103W - - - no power to LNB Port 4 goes to the 6 footer for C-Band - -...

Yesterday I saw trucks and backhoes at a local gas station - - - it looked like they were going to tear down the place. Of course I stopped and asked if I could have the dish on the back of the building. The guys said sure and I could get it tomorrow. So after work today I went back got the...

Scan in any channels using "Single Satellite Search" Note the polarity of channel either V or H - - - go back to "Single Satellite Search" and change the Polarity to the opposite of whatever channel you were watching. Now when you go back to the channel it will say - - - "Notice: No Signal"...

I would love to see more A LA Cart on DISH but I'm skeptical. Anybody have any real data on this? http://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2012/09/29/dish_network_looking_to_offer_channels_a_la_carte
