    Sat 129 on dish input 1 ?

    My dish was blown off of the roof and I'm trying to reinstall. The concave surface is wavy around the rivets and the arm holding the lnbs seems slightly bent? If it is not perfect or just slightly damaged, could this explain why I can't get both 119 and 110 sats?

    Sat 129 on dish input 1 ?

    I found some pointing info for echo star 110 and 119. How is it that one dish with dual lnb's can pick up two sats. Is the recommended pointing setup from the on screen dish a compromise between the two pointing directions?

    Sat 129 on dish input 1 ?

    Sat 129 on dish input 1 ?

    are receivers and dishes married to each other?

    Hello, I want to bring my valid subscriber dish network receiver (522) out to my new country home and hook it up to a leftover dish network satellite dish left there by the previous owner. Will it work?, is it legal? Can I just buy another receiver or upgrade and register it with dish and use...
