So is that a true thing, that the 722 receivers are more sensitive than the 211z? Are the latest dish products even more advanced with better signal processing?

So I am pulling higher signals on my old 722k than I get on my new 211z, a couple transponders on 119W have 100 or 101 signals. Here are the two six footer dishes, one on 119W and one on 129W. My mom lives a couple lots away and is hooked into both dishes on about 150 feet of RG6 each. She is...

I decided to just put in multiple six footers instead of trying to rig up the offset LNA.... I'm not sure my wife is impressed at this point with how they look in the back yard !! Since my last dish install maybe eight years ago, I found a couple excellent resources that helped me: This...

It shows in the guide though like I have them, and then when I select them it says I can't watch them. Versus something I am not subscribed to, which does not show in the guide. So if you are subscribed to International, does 118 and 119 come in on the same LNB?

I guess I understand there are a couple "arcs" of satellite and I am on the western arc, 110, 119, and 129. But now I learn there is a 118, so does that imply that I'm not receiving everything I could be? Also I have channels listed which the program guide says I receive -- but it says not...

> because its offset the LNB's will work just fine This because the LNB can be moved further away from the dish until the signal cone is fully admitted?

> Yup; DP LNBs. Thanks for the reminder. > What kind of 6' dish? Prime focus or offset? All offset. > The problem with using those LNBFs are they were designed for the smaller dish. I had never considered that the open aperture of the LNBF might not admit the full signal !! That said.. my six...

it has been a while and I do not recall, and since we tore off the plastic cases, I do not recall what they are! I have 3 (110,119,129) running into a DPP33, does that tell you what kind?

It is not completely out of the question, but multiple six foot dishes is a pretty serious yard addition.

I would use separate LNB. I would point the big dish at 119 (or 110) and use a side LNB for the other sat. That type of setup has worked for me for years with this smaller dish as the attached image shows. I am just not sure where to start with the placement on the big dish. I guess I will try a...

I have an offset LNB for 110 on my 119 dish. That dish is quite a bit smaller, I wonder if I can linearly scale the measurements in a similar fashion and get ..close. How would I ever know though? Should I have a dish box and a small TV out there on an extension cord watching the "point dish"...

Hello, long time.. no post. I am wanting to put three LNB on my six foot dish due to weak signals here in Alaska. My switch is connected to a 6 foot dish on 129 and I get signals like 75-80, and connected to a small dish on 110 and 119 and I get signals like 20-30 very typically. I can...

Thanks! Then I am being billed correctly, hooray : )

Looking online, I see rcvr #1 as VIP211K and rcvr #2 as VIP722k, is this indicative of a wrong "primary receiver" or is this meaningless.

Previously I had only a VIP211k receiver. Now I've added a VIP722k. They said the 722k moves into the "primary" slot on my account, and now I get a DVR charge per month. Isn't the DVR included if its the "primary" receiver on the account? So adding this new box costs me $13/month more is what...

They should go whole-hog here and start picking a random number between 0 and 1000 every day, then -- 1) they turn off that channel # 2) they add 20 to that number and put that channel on free preview 3) add 40 to the number and change the package whatever that channel is viewable in. 4)...

Thanks! Sounds good.

OK.. I'll call, didn't want to waste the time if it was something widespread, massively done to many customers. I was on "Gold" package so this "Top 250" is different. Gold was obviously better than "Top 250"? p.s. That was not my real name by the way

I went on vacation for a few weeks and I came back to a couple emails from DISH titled "CONFIRMATION Service Change". Inside it says: Dear MICHEAL JACKSON, This is a confirmation that your recent request to change programming or upgrade your receiver has been processed. Please review the...

> the screen kept going blank my 211k will go blank if I shift the HDMI cable slightly, I guess its broken inside

> the 722 which is a real DVR..... (covers ears of my VIP211)

I use high quality RG59 patches in my wiring cabinet and for short runs the difference with RG6 is negligible.

Whats the meaning of life? So what does this mean for 119? Same stuff, different sat? HD on 119? I can see that it means more spots for Alaska so does this mean they may be shuffling stuff all around? I get good signals on 110, 119 and 129 right now so does this probably mean nothing at all...

Do you see anyone else getting it in your area? The moment you drive out of cable-TV coverage here dishes start popping up like mad.
