    Can't Find 61.5

    you may also want to try peaking from east to south. just make sure that you tighten your azimuth bolts, not all the way down but just enough to where it does not give you any play with your elevation. i find sometimes when you are peaking in a dish and azimuth bolts are loose your elevation...

    What type of dish / lnb needed for 77 ?

    good luck on that one, it seems that you are kind of stuck between either having two dishes to get both sd and hd locals or upgrading your recievers to be able to use the 1k4 for a "one dish solution". it's a good thing that at least you can get the dishes pretty cheap because 1k4's are not...

    Can I split one RG6 to feed two eastern arc receivers?

    the lnb on the 1k4 will handle the 2 622's and the 1 612. but as stated above each receiver will need a dedicated cable ran back the 1k4 and separator behind each reciever. make sure to use 3ghz barrels in your wall plates, you don't want any problems later.

    Flimflam outfit

    look at it this way, you would normally get charged a $5 fee for every tv hooked up with a reciever(comcast, dtv, etc.) by hooking up a phone line dish is allowing you to save $5 a month. so having a 322 hooked up without a phone is the same as having two 311's or d11's if you have directv...

    EZ Way to Add an a 2nd HD TV to a 622?

    dish prefers a "home node" device to combine ota signal and a tv2 since the two are in the same frequency randge and could interfere. or just wait 'till the 722k comes out in december. ota signal will be able to be viewed on tv2, just as in tv1. i'm sure you won't like the price though. i...

    TV2 in the garage?

    make sure you change the remote address, extending your uhf ant. for tv2 makes it easier for a neighbor with the same remote address to change your channels. alot of receivers are set to default address 1.

    Eastern Arc Signal Strength

    i have gotten anywhere from 25 to 70 on either 61.5 or 72.7, but i can't remember the transponders. i live in the dallas area and we just stopped using the 1k4, the damn thing caused too many problems with upgrade work orders. our local dns office was not much help either in telling us which...

    Multi dish switch error....

    i'm pretty sure you probably have a dp quad. chances are it's bad. another test you can run is menu, option 6, option 1, option 3(system info test). wait till the test is done and check "details" to see if your lnb has "drifted". either way it goes if 3 of your 4 boxes are going out it is...

    61.5 and 72.7 with Dish 500 ?

    yes, the dish has to be skewed similar to a 500 used for bell tv(canada). depending on where you live, the dish will have to turn right of the 90 mark(below 90).

    Birdog and 1000.4

    i just installed my first one the other day and had to peak it off of 61.5. we were told by the local dns to use port 2(72.7), but that didn't work out at all. so i used port 3(61.5) and it got all three. it was kind of weird though, a check switch summary will only read 61.5 and 72.7. it...
