What is TCB? New to me.

Get that receiver back in your hands and send back to Dish! Your local provider clearly has not done that. Show the receipt to your local store. Could be a violation of Federal Laws. Maybe they would not want that to happen! Good Luck!

Boys and girls, I'm pretty darn good at accents. One of the nicest guys that I worked with at the Med Group Pharmacy was from the Carolina's. Most of the others were from Texas. I happen to be Scandinavian and Native American. To put an end to this post... I have discontinued my Dish...

Dear dahenny, I just needed the basic service and no need to call tech support. Seemed to be a simple request. Guess there is some angst from some members. Sorry,my fault. My typing skills are very poor and do not even think about trying the on-line chat. At this point, I really don't care...

Then Minnesota would want one!:eureka

Be sure to charge up your phone! It's going to take a while. Bit longer if your call is routed to India. About 3 seconds delay.

KAB You are correct. There was not much of a communication. I normally purchase all my equipment and install myself. I did not expect anything free. Never have with Dish. Got the last equipment from Sears. This time I'll get from Scott. I have a 1000.2 on the way and will order a receiver...

We use 2.4Ghz and found that causes an issue with our PC's Not a problem with the Apple for whatever reason. Good Luck!

When you call to "down grade" your service after the "free" premium. The charge is at least 5 bucks. Kind of sort of free. Good deal for them if you keep it. Five Bucks if you discontinue.

The person I spoke with lived in India. And I believed that due to the delay in our phone call and told that by the consumer representative. Then the conversation got faster and more expensive to keep Dish services. Not a problem nowadays. Lots of services out there even in rural North Dakota...

:hatsoff: We have a new set of TVs with widescreen and HD. Our local stations meet our needs for programming. All digital all of the time. Was wanting to get a similar upgrade from our Dish Network service. We had been customers for about a decade or so. When I called the Dish phone number for...

Great information everybody and thanks for the awesome links! Have been a bit busy with the harvest lately (tis the season) but hope to get a break soon. That will give me some time to try out some of your ideas. I did see a similar small dish set up by a college student aimed right at the med...

I buy a lot of stuff on eBay. Satellite equipment is not one of them! Buying on eBay is a lot like flipping a coin and hoping it comes up heads. You may get lucky. Or you may not. In our case, the bride was not lucky. Wan'a buy a receiver that has a bill of 63.00 before it can be activated...

Go to the Dish Store (.net). Don't bother with all the want'abees on the internet. Not worth your time. Straight answers. If it can be done, they can do it or know someone who can. There is a reason why they are highly recommended by all on this forum!

No deals today, but this is the one I use...Philips Electronics Outlet Have picked up 2 both with FREE shipping. Watch out for the prices on cables/mounts though! They are out of sight.

Harmonyfta has receivers and cards for DishNow/YA as well. Deal right now is free receiver if you buy a 40.00 card. Have complete packages as well.

Here's an additional source for prepaid receivers and cards. Prepaid Dishnetwork Shipping on the receiver was 17.00 for me.

Hey everybody, fatcat59 found the problem :up Antenna was on metal siding! :eureka: There's your problem! He's only 5-20 miles from all his signals. A little ant above the roof and should have the best reception on the block.:) Good Job!:D

Thanks for giving your Zip. You are in an area getting VHF rather than UHF for most TV reception. Other than CH29 multi-path should not cause a problem. Since you are getting interference on VHF, I would bet you have a bad section of coax. There is a break somewhere in the line from the TV to...

cracklincrotch I've gotten good results from that type of ant as well. My property is 300 meters long and flat as a pancake. Not a problem connecting and might not be at the highest speed but good enough for me. I was thinking that style of ant would achieve additional gain into a dish...

A DC block anywhere between the power inserter and the pre-amp will make the pre-amp useless. Sometimes the DC block capacitor is built into Most splitters as well. Often one side of a splitter blocks and the other side passes DC. Should be labeled but might not on a thrifty one. The DC block...

Watching on the other thread, and thanks for all the step by step info! Hope you find a signal on the Belt and can report success to all of us. Will follow along from rural North Dakota. We have the same issues, big dish/little dish/FTA, only difference is the temp! Good Luck and keep this...

Thanks primestar31! That gives me a starting point. I know the beam width is tight. But that is the function of gain antennas. It would be a poor choice for anything other than point to point. For "stumbling" you would miss about 95% of the signals and I'm not into stealing signals anyway. This...

I think you saw the WiFi shootout. But that was a bunch of Hams with a 12' dish. I'd have better things to do with that dish as well! But what do you do with a DirecTV 18"er? Thought somebody may have given WiFi a shot. We have a hot spot at the University and it's really fast at night. May have...

I was thinking about a USB as well. Figured a pringles would be directional. An omni ant tends to preform equally poorly in all directions ;~). At -20db I need all the gain I can get!
