Dish reassigned SHO-W to 110 from 129 tp32. I can only get 119 and 129. Does that mean I'm stuck with just the SD channel now? Does complaining to Dish help?

If you go to Dish.com and click on the Facebook link nothing happens; or is it just me?

Rather be in Mexico then Chicago or Baltimore. But wait! They are in the USA so the whole country must be bad!! Please... I'll take a look see if those sats reach here - thanks for the advice.

Been traveling to Cabo for years in my RV. I have 2 tripods, each with a 1M dish - one pointed at 119, the other at 129. Worked perfectly for years but this year I'm having a lot of trouble getting a decent signal strength. Did Dish to something to the CONUS beams?

Thank you

How does one go about "PM'ing a DIRT Member?"

Refreshing this thread. I have a VIP612 that freezes up. When it does the remote does not work and the only way to unfreeze it is to hold down the reset button or unplug it. It reboots and after about 10 minutes I get the picture back. I've tried other receivers in that spot and the problem...

I have 3 separate dishes each with a DishPro LNB. I want to connect a VIP 612 DVR and use both inputs but only have 1 wire run from the swaitch. Can anyone confirm I need a DishPro Plus DP33 and one DISH Pro Plus Separator to make this work? Or does it need something else?

UPDATE - DIRT member MattG was online and got me up in 10 minutes! How does one go about giving him a trophy point?

I have a post on a similar topic (bad 211k) but similar experience trying to get a fix. Went trough all of the "steps", multiple times and the CSR said she rehit it. I think my problem is bigger than that since 100 comes in momentarily and then goes out with the 005 message. Tried this on 2...

I have a VIP211K that I've been using in my RV; always worked fine. Last week I turned it on and got a "bootstrap" error (981 I think). Somehow I managed to get past that and pointed my KVH S2 to 119. Went through the check switch routine, had good signal strength, downloaded program guide...

I am (was) an AAD subscriber for my RV receiver and am looking to get network coverage when they go away. I saw on the uplinks that Quetzsat1 (77 W) has networks available in certain EA markets (eg Jacksonville, FL) and the are CONUS, not spotbeams for that market. Would I be able to "move" to...

Iceberg, not that it matters but it really is for a buddy! He is in the States now and told me Dish called. He called them back and explained that he was home (with his Comcast) and would not be at his vacation home for a few more weeks. They said okay. Then someone else called and he told...

A buddy of mine has a home in Mexico with DN installed. He has 4 receivers connected to a DP34 switch and has sats 119 and 129 only. The audit team called and wants to verify his installation. Since he has all 4 boxes installed in his own home he should not have a problem right? I know they...

I just added 2 more receivers to my account (5 receivers/5 tuners total) and the CSR informed be that, because I have 5 receivers, I needed a phone line. My question is - do I just need one phone line to one receiver to keep the audit team away or doe each receiver require a phone line. The...

Thanks guys; not what I wanted to hear but it is what it is. Since I have dual LNB's I guess I will need to put the DPP33 back in the mix off one output if I want to use one wire (I guess technically it would support 6 tuners?) and use the DP34 for the other receivers (all single tuner)?

I had a working setup but wanted to add another receiver. I have 2 dishes, one at 119 the other at 129 that were connected to a DPP33 switch. One of the receivers was a VIP612 and I used a single line to it with a separator to both inputs. Worked great! I just upgraded(?) to to DP34 to get...

I have an account and subscribe to America's Everything without the Locals package. My installation address is Sacramento but the physical box is located elsewhere (not in Calif.) Although I get both Comcast Sports stations, 409 and 419 (COMCAST SPORTS NET CALIFORNIA and COMCAST SPORTSNET BAY...

I've been struggling with these guys for a few months. It is impossible to order from the website; get php errors after you enter credit card info so no order is placed. I contacted them by phone and gave them Keyser, WV address (for East and West) and paid for a year. After a week I still...

I appreciate all of the feedback but there is TOO much conflicting info! I have ONLY 119 available and can't put up another dish. If I move to say Georgia, that is clearly East Coast. IF I found somewhere to move in Georgia, and left my Dish address as California, would I then get BOTH coasts...

I called AAD and asked the same question; I was told about the new "law" and was also told they were grandfathered in and would continue to get both. New subs can't...

I'm not sure I'll be able to pull off what I want to do. I basically only have 119 service which means I can only get SD programming. Friends who "moved" earlier get both East and West and AAD tells me they were grandfathered in and will be allowed to continue getting both. I moved to the...

I set up an account with AAD and moved to a location that offered both East/West coast networks. Turns out it was in the the "eastern arc" and they had to cancel the account as I only get 119 and 129. I know others around here that get both coasts but the locations they moved to no longer...

Okay, going to replace the generic LNB's with DishPro. When I run check switch during setup what dish type should I use? I have a generic 4' and 6' dish locked on to 119 and 129 respectively.

Thanks, no wonder a guy is confused! You can't use a DPro Plus LNBF on a switch thats marked DPro Plus! So now all I have to locate is a single DishPro LNBF for each dish and I should be good to go! Thanks
