Hey Tim, this is probably not the answer you were looking for, but at this point you might consider getting a newer meter that is setup to tune the 1000.4 dish. I have been installing these dishes since they came out and they are much more temperamental than the 500 dish when it comes to...

I was watching the NASCAR pre-race show on TNT HD this afternoon and noticed the audio is out of sync. I tried switching the TV1 audio sync option to SD to see if it would cure the problem but it didn't. I have two 722 receivers and its happening on both of them. Anyone else having the same...

129 is always the best way to go for Detroit HD locals if you have a line of sight to it. That bird hangs pretty low in the Michigan sky.

cjsmigelski - what is the configuration of your system? My guess is that you have a dish 500+ with a 61.5 wing with all four sats feeding into a DP+44 switch. If you do not subscribe to international programming, power down your entire system (including switch power inserter) and disconnect...

Good job Dish Network on getting us this channel!! I will have no qualms whatsoever with upgrading to the sports package for a few months. Thankyou Dish! :D

I agree, its not right to do a hack job just because its a holiday. But do you really expect someone to do their best work when they are just rushing to get done so hopefully they can spend a few hours with friends and family at the end of the day? Like I said, there's nothing wrong with...

Why in the hell would would you make someone come out to do an install on a major holiday such as the 4th of July? Seriously, what has this world come to! Now I can understand having someone come out for a trouble call. After all, if you are paying for service that you aren't getting, it...

Ugh! I am so sick of the snow. I recommend using the DP duals instead of the twin because I know it works well from experience. I have not yet tried using a DP Twin with the 33 switch. Even though it should work in theory, I have not tried that configuration in the field.

Use 2 of these instead of the twin on the dish 500 Dish Network DishPro Dual KU LNBF You can't go wrong with the DP+33 switch. Keep the separators on the receivers. Menu 6-1-1 to run the checkswitch on the receivers after install. Good Luck Man. Let us know how it turns out.

If you have a good line of sight to the 129 at your location(real low in the sky here in Michigan) and your HD locals are on the 129, 1000.2 is the way to go. 3 receiver outputs, no switch needed. :)

Unfortunately, you will have to go up to your dishes and do some reconfiguration work. You cannot take the 2 lines currently running from the dish and hook them into the switch. It will not work because you are already using the switch in the DP+ LNB to hook in the 61.5 feed. You might be...

If you have two dishes (a dish 500 for 119 and 110, and another dish for 61.5), it would be best to replace the DP+ twin with 2 DP Singles on the dish 500. Run 1 line from each LNB on the dish 500 into the switch. Then run another line from your 61.5 dish into your switch. Connect your...

I recommend the DP+33 switch for two reasons. 1. DP+ technology means you will only need one line for dual tuner receivers. 2. The DP+33 switch does not require a power inserter like the DP+ 44. As far as I'm concerned, a power inserter is just another thing in your system that could...

I currently get my Detroit HD locals off my 61.5 wing dish. They added them last year not long after putting Fox Sports Detroit HD on the 61.5. Thats a bummer, I was hoping the receivers would be smart enough to switch to the stronger signal.

From the looks of things on "The List!" for Ciel-2, it looks like my Detroit HD locals may at some point be moving to the 129 from the 118.7. Currently I use a 1000.2 (119,110,129) and a 61.5 wing for my HD locals. My Question is this. If I continue to keep my 61.5 dish after my HD locals are...

Have been reading through this very interesting thread. Someone correct me if this has been brought up already. In this day and age of constant scams, why would anyone even consider giving out any information about your receivers over the phone? How do you really know the person calling is...

I have been dealing with the same problem here in the Detroit market. They are pushing the EA hardcore. As far as the problem with the picture filling up the whole screen, I went into the HDTV setup menu on a 722 where it wasn't filling up the whole screen and switched it from the default 480p...

So all hope is lost for Speedweeks 09' ? If they just added Fox News HD and Fox Business in SD and HD, whats not to say SPEED HD couldn't come any day now?

Sorry, didn't mean to confuse ya. Try to have the installer put up a 1000+ dish using a 44 switch and you'll have extra ports to hook your boxes that you bought.

If you are planning on getting standard boxes, make sure you don't get an "Eastern Arc" install. MPEG2 equipment (standard receivers like the 322 and 301) won't function on the eastern arc. If you need service for standard definition sets in your house, then going with HD dual tuners (such as...

Interesting. Anyone else having the same problem?

Totally Agree!! Hopefully they can add it in time for Speedweeks 09'.

All I know is that it will be a happy day when Speed Channel HD finally comes to Dish. Many here would agree that should be one of the first channels sent up to Ciel.

This is the first time I have heard of any issues with the 61.5 although I have suspected it for awhile because some low signals I get from there on my HD channels. Is there another thread discussing this?

If I understand your situation correctly, the tech should not have too much trouble with your upgrade. Even if you want to put your HDTV at the location that only has one line, the use of diplexers will allow sat feed to the receiver and backfeed to wherever you new TV2 is through the same...
