    DISH on the house, want to re-setup

    Actually, it now shows 129 coming through with the same/similar strength as the other satellites. But, I'm still receiving a total loss of signal error on ESPN SD channels. I prefer HD anyway, but still that's curious to me.

    DISH on the house, want to re-setup

    Finally bought a ladder, crimper, etc. and got the stuff setup. For Southern Florida, I'm receiving responses on Sat 110 and 119. However, 129 is not coming through on the Point Dish screen. The Check Switch tests 1 to 4 complete and display the following: After it downloaded the guide...

    Yeah, I'm in Miami, FL now. Need to update my locale.

    DISH on the house, want to re-setup

    Cool. So, I can connect to either of the two cables coming from the satellite? I'll splice and create a connection from whichever if that's the case. Need to buy some crimp tools I guess. Any advice on pointing a dish if check dish doesn't find them? We have a lot of heavy-wind storms here...

    Wow that kinda stinks. I'm an G+ addict now. Cited photos added to original post. It only says TurboHD. Photo attached.

    DISH on the house, want to re-setup

    I was a long time DISH customer until I moved into a location that prohibited DISH. Anyway, I'm in a new location now and would like to give it a go once more. I purchased a VIP-211K from this website's sponsor store a long while back and it worked great. Since there is a satellite, sans...

    Looking for installer in Miami, FL area

    I'd like to get DISH setup at my new place in Miami. It has a DirecTV dish setup already. However, I want to stick with DISH. If there's an installer/independent out there who'd like to do this or if anyone has a contact, I'd like one. I have my ViP receiver. Tossed my other equipment...

    continuous channel signal loss on 129

    Yessir. Thanks for working out an appointment. I'll have my fingers crossed that all goes well.

    continuous channel signal loss on 129

    I've sent the private messages asking for them to review this thread. I'm hoping for the best, but my luck with DISH support has been sub-par at best...hence my lack of desire to call into the support system and deal with India telling me how to power cycle crap.

    continuous channel signal loss on 129

    Well, the Check Switch comes back with all three in the GREEN. But, the details section is what I typed earlier with the numbers from all the three SATs for Tuner0 and Tuner1.

    continuous channel signal loss on 129

    So what should I do? I don't want to call India and get no real assistance. If I were to call, I'd probably demand level 2 support. But, what would I tell them? When I do the check switch everything comes back OK. But, they don't have a switch. There are three receivers. Each has a...

    continuous channel signal loss on 129

    On 129, TP 10 = 19 TP 20 = 51 TP 29 = 47 TP 30 = 44 TP 10 can be anywhere from 0 to 50 and changes every 30 or so seconds to another number, seemingly arbitrarily and no real pattern.

    continuous channel signal loss on 129

    I'm not sure what fluctuations and what signal strengths on TPs' 19 20 29 and 30 refer to. What's TP and how do I check it? They have had fluctuations for several months in that the signal will be lost, come back, be lost, etc...

    continuous channel signal loss on 129

    My parents have been complaining about signal loss for a few months. I rarely saw it except during storms. But, this weekend I'm visiting and it has been outrageous. It's overcast and no trees are blocking the satellite. But, both receivers continue to have random blue screens that signal...

    OTA signal always lost when Satellite signal is lost

    Negative, they are in Fort Smith dead and center. That's what makes it humorous because the eastern side of the house is getting Oklahoma and the western is getting Arkansas, which is the opposite to actual state positions.

    OTA signal always lost when Satellite signal is lost

    They are two different types of OTA's. However, I believe both to have amplifiers. I really don't know the details but I recall one having the amplifier built into the device where the other one has an amplifier attached to the cable running between the OTA and the DVR. They are both up in...

    OTA signal always lost when Satellite signal is lost

    From reviewing the apparent discussion, I'm not sure the relevance of the 612 since the 211 has the same issue? They will be on OTA when the SAT still has signal expecting it to go down. SAT loses signal. 739 error pops up. SAT gets signal back a few seconds later. All is fine. Few...

    OTA signal always lost when Satellite signal is lost

    Thanks for all the responses, and sorry for the delay. My military service required a long stint of service for the past two days in between my short time to post this initial question. Alas, the storms are gone and I can chill out again. Whilst I do not entirely remember the number on the...

    OTA signal always lost when Satellite signal is lost

    We have one HD DVR and one HD receiver, each with its own HD OTA antenna plugged in the back. OTA signal works 100% fine when it's sunny and the satellite is working. However, we get error code 739 and a loss of signal on the OTA every time the satellite signal is lost. It's a pain having the...

    SlingLoaded over WAN to TV?

    It appears that the Extender set-top box would only work on a LAN and not via WAN. This makes me think you'd have to figure out some sort of VPN setup to get it to work elsewhere? Also, I'm trying to find any way to do this Everywhere solution without having to setup an extra PC next to the...

    SlingLoaded over WAN to TV?

    Agreed. Do you have any suggestions or ideas about getting Sling to stream WAN onto a TV without having to get a CPU hooked up to it?

    SlingLoaded over WAN to TV?

    Okay, so I'm debating between the 922 Slingloaded or getting a 722 with the Sling adapter which is $100 less than the 922. Either way, I'm a little perplexed by the information provided by DISH. Please, if anyone can answer, I would like to hear the resolution. 1) Does the Slingloaded or...

    Losing old Sat location, can DISH be picked up via NW?

    Fine enough. Anyone know much on the DISH Everywhere system? I could setup the DISH somewhere else, like my sisters house, and strap it into their internet connection. It could then forward it over the net to me...assuming that works somehow.

    Losing old Sat location, can DISH be picked up via NW?

    I'm in Oklahoma and live in a townhouse. My balcony faces north and northwest. I'm literally just about 4 degrees from getting the standard satellite angle for DISH. My old neighbors allowed me to have the DISH on their balcony. The new ones aren't so agreeable even with a bribe... I'm...
