So...turns out that when I upgraded from america silver to america gold ( I wanted FX channel) and initially did have that channel after upgrading to gold, it was a mistake? The techs can't explain why I received the channel and then didn't. There is nothing wrong with my original receiver, as...

Talked with Tier 2 last evening, jumped all the usual hurdles, they did a hit and suggested that the internal smart card must be failing. Receiver was a new vip722 issued by dish. I assumed that when I shut down the receiver at night it is turned off. The software was not up to date, so last...

Did the check switch last night without change. What is a "hit".

Upgraded from Dish America Silver to Dish America Gold. Initially there were no problems, now the new channels are in green and message says I need to upgrade. CSR had me unplug receiver then replug...no change. He checked my account, software, all the machines numbers...nada. He says I...

Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to transition to the 1000.2 and have everything setup so that all I will need is a new receiver and maybe a switch to run a second TV.

Hope, forever eternal.

wardconnor, I'm not even going to bother with the 129 sat until the first of the year when they put a new bird up. I only want to have one dish, not two, and my understanding is the new sat will have a better and stronger signal that the 1000.2 should have no problem with. Thanks

Thank-you, I appreciate your help. Have you used the retrodeck for mounting the 1000.2?

So, if I understand correctly, just run the coax from the 1000.2 direct to the 510 without any switches at all.

Thanks for the reply vegassatellite, but I'm not concerned with aiming the 1000.2 at this point. I'm curious as to wether my receiver will work with the new dish and if I need to change switches. Can I just swap the old 500 legacy for the new 1000.2, aim and be good to go?

I have an older legacy 500 dish with a DVR-510 receiver, picking up 110 and 119. What would it take for me to switch out the dish for the 1000.2? I am just getting ready for the new bird at the end of the year (129) and want to mount the new dish myself. Installers in my area (Pacific NW) are...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I need to cut some trees down and proceed from there. How simple are the new hd dishes and cable runs to do. I did my original dish 500, but am not sure if the newer dishes and receivers as straight forward.

How about a ground pole mount. Is there a particular diameter that can be used? Is there a height restriction on ground pole mounting?

This would be the Rg6 cable, nothing fancy?

That wouldn't require any amping or anything? Is the dish 1000 under the dishpro umbrella?

Wanted to upgrade from sd to hd and had Installer comeout. He wouldn't do anything because my dish is mounted on the roof and he would not get on the roof, it's about a 4/12 pitch! :mad: So if I want to upgrade I need to move the dish so that it can be serviced. He also tried to talk me out of...
