    Eastern Arc?

    I have the 1000.4 dish I wanted to add the single large lnb/dish pointed to 129. I thought I needed the switch OR is there an input in the 1000.4 LNB head.. I asked this on another post. I dont want to buy the DP44 and run separate lines from each LNB. I dont get the new HD channels...

    Can you get the new HD from DISH?

    I am on the EA1000.4 So no new HD for me. I had the WA 1000.2 but could not get local HD -- so I had them install the 1000.4 dish. I still have the 1000.2 - I added a big single LNB dish to get 129 better then the stock 1000.2 3 lnb dish. So can I connect my big single dish to my 1000.4...

    HD Local channel on- but no HD content

    Great, how about I get a 5dB attenuator? or higher from RS and use that for now until I can get to the amp on the tower/roof? Maybe an adjustable attenuator would be better?.. time of a Google search.

    HD Local channel on- but no HD content

    BANG way to go. I just put a splitter in line to feed the OTA tuner. The splitter must offer just enough loss to not over power the tuner. So far my short test-run today - no more drop outs. I cannot get up on the roof to take the amp out the line. I have to get my son to go up there...

    HD Local channel on- but no HD content

    Ok all good. It appears some locals will feed SD during the day to Dish, then at night change over to HD content. Had all the locals in HD last night. The 622 OTA problems drop out- loss of sound and picture then back. I am on my third 622 in 2 yrs. The techs all agreed the tuner was bad...

    HD Local channel on- but no HD content

    Well , all OTA channels were in HD - I switched back and forth between OTA HD and the HD Sat channels.. OTA is in HD for the shows on CBS/ABC but were in SD on the HD SAT. The only channel that was HD from both sources was NBC. Maybe ? Dish only carries the HD content at night to save BW...

    HD Local channel on- but no HD content

    I finally was able to get Dish to install the EA 1000.4 dish. The intent was to be able to watch Local HD over the satellite vs the OTA tuner/ant. WELL, they just installed the new dish. Yep I see the LOCAL "HD" 4 networks from Chatt TN.. Channel 51nn HOWEVER they are NOT ALL in HD...

    New Equipment Fees & Lease Fees

    The spreadsheet works great with OpenOffice 3.1. I was working this out by hand but the SS sure made it nice and easy. Good job to whoever did this . Now how to save ? I have the 622 duo but I only have ONE set monitor. Not sure if it is worth it to ask them to swap out my 622 for a 612 -...

    D* E* why the letters

    I have looked all over for this answer. I have been here for a year plus.. WHY do all the posters use the assorted 'letter*' to mean DISH or DIRECT? D* = DISH E* = DIRECT Is this some kind of policy that I missed? RogerR

    Local HD Chatt TN

    My error again, after more reading..I will assume I have the 1000.2, I guess there is no 1000.3 Now that I understand the difference between Western Arc WA - and Eastern Arc EA. It appears, I could just get a 1000.4 EA setup and get all the same content I now have? Correct ? That is drop...

    Local HD Chatt TN

    My error on my Dish ant.. I guess it is a 1000.3 3 LNB for 110 119 129. However the printing on the actual dish says dish 1000. But the switch is internal. I think ? I could just connect another dish/LNB to the open connection on the 110/119 hub ? BUt I may not be able to see the 61.5 sat...

    Optimum setup of Dish Antennas?

    I went with a 24inch d500 and single lnb for 129. I left the 110/119 on the T1000. I get 70 on 119. I will re-tweak the T1000 for better 110/119 SS. 129 TP31 SS went from 30-35 to 58-61. Sure will fix my clear night drop outs, and hopefully give better rain signals. It was a good fix that I...

    622, Sat 129, Cust Ser A good story

    I don't post much here, mostly read and learn. Over the years , with help from this forum, I have installed 2 DIY systems purchased from the assorted sponsors. This time I let Dish do the install. I ordered the Vip622-T1000 system with the 250/HD pkg. The system has been installed for 3...

    DIY Dish Install

    I read on one post that this was no longer going to be allowed by DishN? I did the assorted searches but found no other comment. I have in the past installed all my own systems. This time I had the 'pros' do it. (I have issues) :) Is this policy true?

    I wish to thank the pros and semi-pros on this list. My SD105 install went almost perfect. I got a powered sat meter from ebay, sure made alignment easy. Bought the RG-6 and tools etc from a list member shop, got the DP-Leg power adptr on ebay. I peaked all sats with the meter. I did 105 first...
