    Dish in "My" RV

    I'm a snowbird that subscribes to Dish. I use a Dish1000 mounted on a tripod when at my destination. While on the road I use my Winegard crank-up dish and usually aim for the Nimiq5. This is the first time I've had a problem that I didn't think I could fix and wonder--why is it such a problem to...

    Dish Anywhere & a Blu Ray player

    I want to get a Blu Ray player with streaming capabilities to stream some of the channels to my TV. Any suggestions? I currently stream programs I can't watch live because of scheduling conflicts thru my laptop, but its a hassle hooking up an extra HDMI cable each time.

    Problems with Dish Anywhere

    Its been awhile since I've been on the forum, so if this topic has been discussed elsewhere please send me in the right direction. This past weekend I attempted to stream The Masters on my tablet using the "dish anywhere" app. I was unable to do so because I don't have a Hopper or DVR receiver...

    Signal Loss and Insomnia

    The other night while battling a case of insomnia i turned on the TV. After sometime watching Discovery ID I went to change to another channel and was greeted with the "Complete Loss of Signal" screen. I was eventually able to get back to ID but no other channels. I then did a complete reset...

    In setting up my 1000.2 Dish I've encountered a reception problem. After doing a check switch I have "Reception Verified" with 129 on port 1, 119 on port 2 Conn on port 3. What adjustment should I make to get reception on all 3 sats and in the correct order? Thanks

    Avatar In HD

    Avatar is on HBO tonight. Will the HD version be any better than the wide-screen DVD that came out not long ago. Not the Blu-ray version but the regular.:confused:

    RF remote and TV2

    I've got a VIP222, with TV2 in my mother-in-law's room. She's away for awhile so TV2 hasn't been used for the past month. Over the past two days though the TV2 tuner on my receiver has been coming on by itself. Neither neighbor on either side of me has Dish (one is Direct and the other just...

    Another RV question

    I have a Winegard crank-up antenna, that I use when stopping overnight and don't want to drag out the tripod and dish. I am using a dual tuner receiver (VIP222 if that matters). What I would like to know is....Can I connect the dish to "Sat2" input only and use the RF remote for channel...

    Dual Tuner Receiver from Direct?

    Had a salesperson stop me in Sam's Club the other day trying to sell me Directv. When I mentioned their lack of a dual tuner receiver he said to just wait. Are they coming out with their own to compete with Dish?

    Displaying Black on my LCD TV

    When watching programs filmed in low light (such as night scenes or dark rooms) the picture is almost as if it were projected onto a screen or viewed through cheese cloth. Is this a inherent with all LCD TVs? Is it a problem with my Dish receiver? Or do I just need to make some minor...

    Can this work?

    In the RV....Using a dual tuner receiver.....hooked to the winegard dish.... Can I hook the receiver only to dish2 and use the second remote exclusively? This is for overnight stops where I don't want to put up the regular Dish.

    Dual & Twin LNB

    Am I right in believing that Dish LNBs are called twin because they can see two sats at the same time, and are dual LNBs because they can handle different programming on dfferent TVs?

    Lousy picture.

    The front TV in our RV's digital picture has dark shadows in some scenes. Is this an antenna problem or a problem with the set. The bedroom TV's picture is fine. Help!!
