So says the guy with the signature, "Just give me the Sabres and Yankees in HD."

You know what channel I've been missing in HD? Rainbow Bright HD. You should have just stuck with the HBO, Starz and Cinemax channels. It's a little silly to say that people are "missing" the Pentagon Channel... And I'm guessing that most posters around these parts would sooner gouge their...

The most recent NR is rumored to fix the speed issues. D* started the roll-out yesterday.

Give yourself a static IP address on the PC you are using to configure (like 192.168.1.100). Go to: Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Network Connections. Right click on the wired connection you are using and select Properties. Click on "Internet Protocol...

Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with agency law first, then lecture others on not understanding the law.

The feature sheet PDF in post one, Diagram B. Use a splitter to connect the RF antenna and the TV2 IR converter to the Remote Antenna port on the receiver. I would imagine you could use two splitters if you are using the Home Distribution Output. Stack Diagram A with Diagram B.

I'm going to use this with a Universal Remote MX-900 and MRF-350 basestation in room 2. The MX-900 is an RF remote and the MRF-350 is located in another room with the VIP722. The TV2 IR kit will go directly into the 722 and the MRF-350 will plug directly into the TV2 IR's input. I currently have...

Or you could just use a little trigonometry: Shadow Measurements --Or, if you hate math: Tree Height Calculator

You can check line of sight issues with DishPointer.com. Put in your address and select 129 from the drop down. Check the box for "show obstacle," and drag the red dot to where you think you have a problem. It will tell you the maximum height of the object to still get LOS.

That's a problem with Sadoun's link - the title of the page I linked to is wrong.

The biggest advantage is a single dish. But there probably will be no change in quality. Maybe slighly lower signal levels (because of how the dish has to be designed) - but nothing noticable to you. This assumes the Dish tech does his/her job. If you have a drop in quality - Dish will send...

You are correct, Montgomery HD comes off 129 (EKB: Dish HD Locals) and Montgomery SD comes off 110 (Dish Locals in 178 cities). The reason you get national HD is because 129 content is mirrored on 61.5. You could actually swing the dish pointed at 61.5 around to 129. But if Dish offered to...

The angles are different for EA and WA. People in the east sometimes have trouble with WA satellites because their elevation is lower in east (110, 119, & 129). Likewise, people in the west would have trouble with EA satellites because the elevation is lower for those in the west (61.5, 72.7, &...

What market are you receiving your locals from (ie, from what city are they broadcast)? From what I could find, you can't get locals from Dish in the Columbus, GA market - in which Lee County, AL is listed. Are you getting your locals from an antenna?

That would make sense to me. The shipping on the dish kits is pretty expensive. Is there a reason you wanted EA? If there was, that would be the only reason I would spring for the EA at home and use the WA on the RV. But if there's no advantage (ie locals or RSNs), the programming is the same...

I run in single mode. I don't actually use the Dish remotes - so I had to dig them out and do the Wizard again. Also, I notice that you have the "Press 0" every time you power up - I only got it the first time the receiver was powered up after the nightly update. Maybe try resetting the...

No. The LNB is not keyed to your account. I change my dish locations/configurations all the time. I just switched from EA to WA without asking Dish and the only annoying thing is waiting for the check switch to complete and the guide to download. If you want, you can pick up another 1000.2 LNB...

What order did you do them in? I did #1 first, then #2. Hasn't popped up since.

Locals, RSNs and some internationals. But the core is broadcast on both the western and eastern arcs - so not much for most people. And if you are a western arc'er, your locals and RSN are probably on 129 anyway. There are some RSNs on one that aren't on the other. But after having Direct and...

Scott posted this yesterday

The 722ks remote uses the same IR as the other Dish remotes - just be sure you have the remote ID set to 01 on the receiver. The manual explains how to do that.

If you are already getting 148, then you have the ability to receive those other channels. You are only getting 148 because that's the satellite your dish is aimed at. To get 110 and 119, you'd have to re-aim the dish. But if you only want those channels, then it wouldn't make much sense to...

The DPP Twin is used to receive 110 and 119. The DPP has an internal switch that sends the signal from 110 and 119 over a single cable. That's why you only have one cable going to your receiver. And even if you could use the DPP Twin to get 148, you wouldn't be able to get 110 and 119 (where...

As Jim stated, and as I stated in your other thread - you have to align the dish with it connected directly to the receiver. http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-technical-discussions/170922-connect-wing-dish-1000-2-better-129-signal.html#post1776847 You can use a DP single with the DPP...

If the wing dish is not already pointed at 129 and you are trying to use the reciever to aim the dish, you need to unplug it from the 1000.2 and plug it in directly to the receiver - no seperator, no other switches (You can use the cable going to the receiver from the 1000.2, just be sure...
