    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

    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

    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..

    Got an HR22 and Two R22's....MRV?

    According to the D* rep I spoke with on the phone I need an HD DVR (got that) and at least one other HD receiver. Is that correct? I thought I only needed one HD DVR and that my R22's were DECA compatible? I've already got SWM hooked up. Few more questions.... 1. Is there an online diagram...

    MRV question---># of programs record at once w/multiple rcvr's

    If i have two receivers in my house, and I get MRV activated with the new DECA modules can I still record 4 prorams at once with my two receivers? From what I understand, with the MRV activated at working that in essence you have one big DVR to pull from. Does that mean that each receiver can...

    Looking to switch.....need 722 for home and another 722 for RV

    I have an HDTV and an SDTV in my home. Sometimes I'm away from home in my RV traveling and my wife is still at home. I must have a receiver for my RV also. I don't think I can get two 722's when signing up for new service. At least, the online agent I chatted with indicated I couldn't...

    If I have my own dish & receivers can I start up new service?

    With Dish Network? Would I just have to call Dish with serial numbers & the smart card number to activate the receivers? A 722 receiver question.....would it be able to operate two TV's if one is upstairs and one is downstairs, with each TV being on opposite ends of the house? How exactly...

    Can someone confirm this is what I need to convert to SWM (picture)

    I've got a SL5, but I'm wanting to clean up what the D* installer did when he installed my setup. I've decided to change my SL5 LNB head out to the single wire SWM setup. I purchased the SWM 5 LNB head, the 21V power inserter, and a 4 way splitter (will upgrade that shortly). Is this all I...

    99(c), 99(s), 103(c), 103(s) SL3 & SL5 tuning question

    I'm assuming on the 99 & 103 sats of the SL3 and SL5 dishes that I only need to tune the ones that have the 99(c) & 103(c) in parentheses, correct? Why are the 99(s) & 103(s) ones on there if they aren't required to be tuned?

    Fine tuning and general pointing questions of a SL3..

    Just got a SL3 today and I'm trying to learn how to point it properly. I'm used to pointing an oval 3 LNB 18 x 20, which is easy to do. The 101 sat is pretty easy to tune on the SL3, but getting the 99 & 103 also in the mid 90's is a little tough to do. I'm curious if I'm going about it the...

    Why aren't all hi-def channels filling up TV screen?

    Is it normal? Some hi-def channels fill up the screen, and some don't. It's driving me bonkers. I look at it this way....I bought this big arse hi-def tv so I can watch shows in full screen, and in hi-def fashion. I'm a newb to hi-def, so I'm trying to learn all of this. Thanks in advance...

    So, I'm new to Hi-Def world and have a R22 DVR

    I noticed that it has the Hi Def outputs and HDMI output. Is it considered a Hi-Def rcvr? Also, I'm assuming I need to add a "Hi-Def package" to receive all of the hi-def channels, correct? I would call DirecTV, but I'd rather get beat in the head with a bat as compared to talking with their...

    How strong of a signal do I need?

    I'm setting up a Phase III 3 LNB and I'm running into an issue with trees. If I can get 80 on 101, 83 on 110, and 84 on 119 should I be fine if it storms? TIA.

    Oval 3 LNB install question...

    How much more difficult is it to point an oval 3 LNB -vs- the 2 LNB 18" oval? I'm still a dish pointing virgin, so bare with my goofy questions. I can point the 2 LNB oval in no time flat, but was curious if the 3 LNB was a lot of extra trouble or not due to the skew adjustment? Thanks in...
