    Dish Reflector...Putting a 1000.2 Eastern Arc Eyeball on a Western Reflector?

    Tech just left. He was just as puzzled as I am/was as to why he was required. All he did was call Dish to send a hit to my receiver. If companies wonder why they continue to lose customers, maybe they should try to not be difficult to deal with.

    Dish Reflector...Putting a 1000.2 Eastern Arc Eyeball on a Western Reflector?

    I spoke with three different ones :( First time I called, I simply called to change my install address. That CSR stated that a tech must come out to do something to my receivers, but stated that I would still receive local programming even without a tech coming out. I called the second time...

    Dish Reflector...Putting a 1000.2 Eastern Arc Eyeball on a Western Reflector?

    Got it tweaked a little more. Unfortunately, according to Dish, a tech has to come out to do something so I will get my new locals. That's aggravating.

    Dish Reflector...Putting a 1000.2 Eastern Arc Eyeball on a Western Reflector?

    What signal strength on the Hopper signal strength screen should I be getting on the 72 and the 61.5 sats? I'm right at 50 on both of them. Something else that is strange...when I pointed with my Sat buddy 29, I would peak on 72.7 and get around 50 or so, but I could shake the dish and it...

    Dish Reflector...Putting a 1000.2 Eastern Arc Eyeball on a Western Reflector?

    One other thing....I'm assuming that the Hybrid Eastern Arc LNB will hook up exactly the same as the Hybrid Western Arc LNB? One line from the LNB to the ODU of the solo hub?

    Dish Reflector...Putting a 1000.2 Eastern Arc Eyeball on a Western Reflector?

    Figured I'd post a pic of my reflector to eliminate any guess work. Bought an Eastern Arc 1000.2 Hybrid LNB and yoke to replace my 110/119/129 hybrid head. Is this a 1000.2 reflector? I have a sat buddy 29, so I should get it all pointed in short order.

    Dish Reflector...Putting a 1000.2 Eastern Arc Eyeball on a Western Reflector?

    Ok. I knew that needed to be changed. I just wasn't sure if my existing reflector and arm would be compatible. Appreciate it.

    Dish Reflector...Putting a 1000.2 Eastern Arc Eyeball on a Western Reflector?

    I've had the 110/119/129 Hybrid eyeballs on my reflector for a number of years. I'm assuming the reflector is also the Western Arc reflector. Can I simply pull the 110/119/129 eyeballs off and put on the 1000.2 Eastern Arc Hybrid eyeballs? I've changed to a different local market (Little...

    Pointing With A Super Buddy 29....Questions

    I picked up a couple of used Super Buddy 29's awhile back and just hooked one up tonight on my dish with a hybrid head. I didn't really mess with toggling through the different transponders. Do I need to do that? I basically just plumbed up the mast, hooked up the Super Buddy and away I went...

    Install Question - Hybrid LNBF with a Hopper 3 + Hopper 2

    That worked. The Dish rep(s) that monitor this forum also sent me a PM with a phone number to try. I tried that number first, but I could tell it was going to some foreign call center. Those people are beyond frustrating to deal with. Wound up calling the regular Dish number and being...

    Install Question - Hybrid LNBF with a Hopper 3 + Hopper 2

    I found a used Hopper 3 from a forum member. Called Dish this past Friday, and gave them the RID# and the smart card# and they stated everything was good to go. The Dish rep said I’d have to pay $50 for a tech to come out and install everything, which I was fine with. I stated I’d call them...

    Install Question - Hybrid LNBF with a Hopper 3 + Hopper 2

    If I round up another Hopper 3, I'm assuming the install is on me? Or, will Dish send a tech out to add the DPP LNB and a DPH42 switch?

    Install Question - Hybrid LNBF with a Hopper 3 + Hopper 2

    That still kinda has me at a stand still on having a Hopper 3 and a Hopper 2 on the same account. I'd prefer not to have to buy another Hopper 3 just so I can have another Hopper :confused:

    Ok. Thanks. That's somewhat strange, but now I know.

    Install Question - Hybrid LNBF with a Hopper 3 + Hopper 2

    Appreciate the info. So, I should be able to add the Hopper 2 to my existing account that already has a Hopper 3 on it?

    Install Question - Hybrid LNBF with a Hopper 3 + Hopper 2

    The Dish rep above stated I can't do that. I'm confused as to how to get a 2nd Hopper added to my account....

    Install Question - Hybrid LNBF with a Hopper 3 + Hopper 2

    Is there a monthly charge to do that? How exactly does that work? My shop is a stone's throw from my house. I could put the dish on my shop and point it myself.

    Install Question - Hybrid LNBF with a Hopper 3 + Hopper 2

    Wasn't aware that a second Hopper couldn't be added to my account since I already have a Hopper 3. So, what are my options if I want two Hoppers on my account? Have two Hopper 2's?

    Install Question - Hybrid LNBF with a Hopper 3 + Hopper 2

    Here's what I currently have.....I have a Dish with the hybrid LNBF head. The line goes from the dish to a hybrid solo hub, and then I have the coax lines that come off the hybrid hub to my Hopper 3 and my two Joey's. I recently acquired a Hopper 2, which is where my question comes in. I've...

    Dish WA 1000.2 Skew Mark Location....Pic Attached

    I take back what I said above. The tech DID install it correctly. I just came down from my roof and inspected things a little closer. He installed it on the skew point correctly. I also noticed that the skew point marker on the dish is diamond shaped whereas the other little holes are oval...

    Dish WA 1000.2 Skew Mark Location....Pic Attached

    Well, it appears that the Dish tech that installed the dish on my house used the wrong skew point reference hole. He used the upper hole to set my 120 skew and not the one on the side, as you have indicated as the correct one :mad My signal strength is good though, even though he used the...

    Thanks for the reply Dutch. Unfortunately, I don't have a "skew point" on my dish like the one you attached.

    Dish WA 1000.2 Skew Mark Location....Pic Attached

    After being a 12 year DirecTV customer, I finally bit the bullet and switched to Dish. I'm now having to re-learn a new pointing setup and all of the other fine points of a new/different system. Anyway, one thing that is confusing to me is that there's no skew mark on the stationary part of...

    Which Transponder/Satellite Are Locals Coming in On? Also, Need Footprint Map..

    I haven't kept up with all of this in quite awhile. I've got a Slimline 5 dish that utilizes 101, 110, 119, 99, and 103. I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to find a "footprint" map of local markets. I need to know the Little Rock, AR markets and the Baton Rouge, LA local market footprint...

    DirecTV Slimline 3 MRV Head, MRV Splitter, and SWM Power Supply

    Holy cow. Realized I'm way high on this after getting a tip from another user and looking at eBay. Think I'll just keep this kit for a possible future project. Thread closed.
