The 311 used a different modulation scheme to encode the audio and video into the broadcast stream. I don't think there is anything in the sky that it could see and produce a picture from. But, I could be wrong - first time this hour.

NAA, he's doing no harm. We've just got to keep him in sight of the goal (ADHD?). Just gets on the nerves of several old codgers around here. Elevates their blood pressure. It's probably good for them.

WAAAY back when I was using a Toshiba HDTV tuner that would receive all of my local stations easily but the ABC channel, nothing, nada, zip. This was just about the time frame where local stations were converting their live news and other locally produced programming to HD. I called the...

Have you contacted the channel about your problem? What is your OTA signal strength on the offending channel? Does it fluctuate? What RF channel? Does it occur when the antenna is connected directly to your TV? Any large structures to either side of the signal pathway that might cause...

Pictures of your current setup would be nice, include your dish, lnbs and switches.

It's in the first line of the post you quoted from 20 years ago.

The guys who write the code have to do something or they will be recognized as not necessary, i.e. they are constantly tweaking things that already work. Maybe they break something along the way and "Oh My, we have to fix that". It is common even at Apple and Microsoft, improvements that were...

Won't the standard mount work on a gable?

United Football League game tonight at 8pm EDT 540-01 in 4KHDR. 2 United Football League games tomorrow 1pm on 540-01 and 540-02 in 4KHDR.

Buying my Joey 4.0 wireless receiver also got me a $2 price reduction on my bill from leased to owned. Not a lot but every little bit helps.

Sometimes the "smart card" is built into the motherboard but an updated smart card may be added through a smart card port. So, not having a physical smart card does not necessarily mean the unit will not function. Try connecting it and see if it works as is. Nothing to lose My guess on the hard...

Your question sounds like assuming reception of both simultaneously. I did not infer stupidity toward you, just imprecision.

Those two satellite orbits are in disparate parts of the sky. You'll not receive them on the same dish at the same time.

About that same time frame, Being in West Texas we got good reception and little rain fade from 110/119/128, but they put our HD locals on 61.5, so I added a wing dish for 61.5 and it confused the thunder out of my Hopper. PTAT would never record ABC or NBC. So, dish finally just switched me...

What makes you think they will not move your HD locals to WA?

DishPointer.com . Put on your location and 61.5 W for the satellite and it brings up a map with all the info. You can even move your location around a bit to find a clear line of sight.

It's more a matter of moving slightly higher or slightly lower in its orbit. Higher drifts it west lower drifts it east, then you stop the drift. Length of burn determines how fast the objective is achieved. Burns are relatively short spurts not continuous burns whether east or west.

LNB is a low noise block. LNBF is a low noise block feed. They are names for the same type of signal receiving apparatus, there is no distinction in the naming. DPP is a Dish Pro Plus LNB or LNBF. The hybrid is a DPH LNB or LNBF. It's technically more accurate to say "LNBF" than "LNB." The LNBF...

The Dish 300 was a single focus dish and was the only one they made with no compromise because it has only one focal point. The Dish 500 has dual foci and thus the dish while being parabolic in the top to bottom aspect is splayed open slightly in the horizonal aspect and had to have a larger...

Well, I looks like I"ll be moving to WA, hope they add my HD locals to 110 or 119 because much of west Texas is on EA due to lack of spot beams on WA. I got stronger signal and fewer drop outs on 110/119/118. They'll probably do away with the SD locals (if they haven't already).

This sounds like water cooler gossip. Some tech mouthing off with no logic behind his ideas. Without EA satellites New England customers would have a difficult time with satellite dish location since even at Boston the 119 satellite is only 20 degrees above the horizon, trees and buildings...

Well, maybe he's learned what's obsolete and what isn't.

Did you consult with Dish Network before you cobbled together your "satellite system"? It sounds like you have put together a system made from either incompatible or only partially compatible components and expect it to perform like a system installed (for Free) by Dish Network techs. Why don't...

I don't think the 510 is compatible with the current Dish Network signal modulation, i.e. it can't understand the signal.
