    Can't pick up sat 129 on new dish HD turbo w/1000.2

    Yep, ran the check disk many times. About 10 feet from the dish are 4 power lines going from the house to the barn. Is it possible that a power line 10 feet from the dish will block the signal on sat 129? When the original 500 was installed it was put there by a Dish tech. I just assumed...

    Can't pick up sat 129 on new dish HD turbo w/1000.2

    When I go back I will check the Plumb. The skew is correct per Dish info but the elevation is not what Dish recommends. Off by 8 to 10 degrees as is the one at my home with a Dish tech adjusted.

    Can't pick up sat 129 on new dish HD turbo w/1000.2

    If I recall correctly, the order is 119, Con, 110. The order definitely wasn't 119, 110, 129. Not sure about the "Con".

    Can't pick up sat 129 on new dish HD turbo w/1000.2

    Been using an old 500 dish with my 211k. Been taking the 211k with me on weekends to second home. Of course it doesn't pick up HD. So I got a turbo 1000.2 dish. The turbo dish setup will not pick up sat 129. Message says it can't find the satellite. Picks up 110 and 119 ok. Brought the...

    What do I need for HD

    Thinking about upgrading to HD. I'm a do-it-myself type of person. Would like to know what I have to do to install the HD dish. Currently my Dish 500 is mounted between two buildings. What compass reading will the HD dish need to the sky? I'm in Santa Rosa, Ca 95407. Will I need an...

    Looks to me like many of you guys think the picture from Dish is poor.

    I complained many times. I even complained at trade shows. No one connected to Dish Network cared to help. I think I got use to the poor picture. Then when the tech installed the 522 the issue resurfaced in my brain.

    The 501 is as bad as the 522. I am using S-video.

    I connected a SD analogue TV to the 522 and have the same issue. Plus the original TV was analogue and it had the same problem. And, why don't I have this issue with SD OTA on the HDTV?

    I've been a DishNetwork customer for many years. I have never been happy with the picture. I started out with a 501 and just recently upgraded to a 522 and added a 311. I installed the original dish and pointed it myself. The picture is OK until movement occurs. Anything that moves becomes...
