    Can I point a Dish 500 at 72.7 and get it?

    Thanks, I'll do that and ask them, once I get my signal meter and see what it says about that 119 sat. Changing receivers gets to be an issue since I have a series 1 Tivo on it working fine now and am not sure any newer receiver would be controlled by the Tivo's IR since they don't update the...

    Can I point a Dish 500 at 72.7 and get it?

    Thanks Voyager, got that meter for just ten dollars, can't go wrong having one at that price, got the F95B one. Can anyone tell me how the switching works in a 311 receiver to select 110 and 119, or are both just on together all the time and the receiver just tunes to two discrete different...

    Can I point a Dish 500 at 72.7 and get it?

    Yes I understand that part at last, I can forget 72.7 unless I change receivers which I assume is never allowed by Dish. They only rent them now, right? If I did buy one on Ebay they would not swap my account to it would they? Or if they would, demand new packages be purchased first? My...

    Can I point a Dish 500 at 72.7 and get it?

    Thank you, looking at the sat chart it looked like most channels were the same mod and so on, but I wasn't sure if the LNB would be looking at the right range on a different sat or what. OK, glad to hear 119 is being replaced, not retired then. So, looks like lets troubleshoot my problem then...

    Can I point a Dish 500 at 72.7 and get it?

    I am in Va. at 76 degrees long. I have a dish 500 that used to get 110 and 119 and has a 311 receiver. The 119 has gone dead, 110 is fine. I read these may go away in time anyway and all I want to see appears to be on 72.7 alone (I have the 250 package) and is SD and I don't need locals...
