    viewing these forums takes forever on dway/hughs!

    The pages on this forum take over one minute to load. The header downloads instantly, but the body take 60-90 seconds or more to load. I do not have this problem on anyother websites, or via dial up. Any clues? Any one else have this problem? I have a DW7000 pro plan on hor1 @ 1170. winxp

    They wont give me a D1000 :((

    IMHO the dish 1000 is not really an upgrade from multiple dishes. I have only installed about 10 or 12 so far but they seem flimsy. The mast and collar tend to woble even when all bolts a verry tight. With 129's signal as low as it is i'd say multiple dishes give tou better performance (less...

    OTA Channels missing.....Need Help

    Don't remeber if your antenna is powered or not. If yoy have the diplexer on back of stb, with one line running to multi siwtch and no in line d/c blockers then your ant. is powered from stb. this is the 'normal' setup - but I've seen some crazy VOOM installs!! Invest in a good powered antenna...

    Trees in the way of 61.5. Help!

    frisco is more like 14 deg. good luck. It seemed that Voom's 61.5 was way more sensitive to trees, rain, wind, cosmic rays.....than dish's locals at 61.5. I've seen many Dish setups right through trees, but with VOOM so much as a twig, or in some casees a fly, would cause problems. It will be...

    VOOM gone OTA here

    If your OTA antenna needs power, use the Voom setup as is. with diplexer and switch. If your paranoid about a kill signal still coming from a satellite Voom doesn't even own or operate any more, simplty disconnect the LNB feed into the multi switch, leaving the switch to provide power to OTA via...

    Instructions for Adding the 61.5 - revised 05/04

    curious, I use a v* dish for my locals at 148 allready. I use the v* LNB w/o problems. Why do I see all over the forums that V* LNB's don't work on E*? :( I have only on IRD so maybe it's that V* LNB"s don't work with E* switches?

    110/119 Signal Strength on 811

    If your not getting rain fade or having a signal problem, why would you try to re-aim your dish? It's not like it wil make your 811 run cooler.... :D "If it aint broke, don' t fix it. :rolleyes: "

    Tried to do V* install at an Large Air Force Base. Clear line of sight, but no bird to be found. But it was kind of fun watching the meter light up as the radar swept by. :D

    Video Artifacts...Oh My!!

    Along with the normal degradation of hardware connections and equipment, I think, for me it’s almost a state of hypochondria. You read about pixilation and start LOOKING for it. Some of us remember how BETA was better than VHS. Now DVD (MPEG2) is the norm. When SDHD (Super Duper HDTV) is the...
