    Lost SHO-W on 319 (HD)

    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?

    Baja footprint

    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?

    Switch Question

    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?

    Bad VIP211K?

    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...

    Networks on Quetzsat 1

    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...

    Dish Audit

    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...

    Bad Separator?

    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...

    AAD Problems

    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...

    All America Direct and Eastern Arc

    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...

    Networks

    I am trying to locate a zip code that would offer me both East and West networks through AAD. Most of the locations I tried to move to offer this in HD but not SD. I can't get the 110 bird so I need SD only (only have access to 119 and 129). Any suggestions would be appreciated either on this...

    Installation Help?

    I am trying to set up a legit DN VIP-211HD box and it's kicking my butt! I have the 129 signal coming off a 1.8M dish and the 119 coming off a 1M dish; both have legacy dual LNB's. I have them connected with a third-party dish switch (like an SW21 but have verified it works with DN). Sat 119...
