    Remote device dedicated to playing sling on the TV?

    Yep, I hate flash. I'm really just seeking a more convenient way of doing this, and having a physical remote would be EXTREMELY beneficial. What is Vaporware, I saw it mentioned somewhere when I was doing some Googleing before I posted this thread.

    Remote device dedicated to playing sling on the TV?

    Hey all, I'm a college student, and have a ViP922 back home. I frequently stream off of it during the little amount of down-time I find in college. But when I do, it seems like a hassle to get the MacBook pro, plug the HDMI cable in, setup the second screen, then have to get out of bed or use...

    Off to college, would like to retain Dish Network in the dorm room, but will this work?

    Why would I need to setup my own account, I pay for the receivers functionality, it's no different from when I take the receiver down to my camp for the weekend and use it for TV there. The installers personally told us that doing so is OK, this will just be a more prolonged visit of the...

    Off to college, would like to retain Dish Network in the dorm room, but will this work?

    The window, if I recall correctly, is one of those ones where theres like a layer of glass on the inside, and then a layer on the outside, so thats probably going to cause an issue, I'm happy if I can get a 25-30 signal strength reading - because thats usable, and despite the fact it may go out...

    Off to college, would like to retain Dish Network in the dorm room, but will this work?

    Hey all, I am off to college soon, and I'm interested in taking Dish along with me, I will be in a dorm on campus, so mounting a permanent dish outside is out of the question. From my last visit, I did a survey using DishPointer on my iPhone, and there is indeed a clear view of the Western...

    Slingplayer 1.0.8 Mac/922 password?

    I do believe that dish networks father company, echostar, also owns Sling Media, I may be wrong, but I'm almost positive. So "Getting along" should be no problem here hah.

    Can antenna be extended on the 612?

    My ViP 922 has a larger version of the female end of the coaxial barrel. I wonder why they changed it, must be to prevent confusion with the "Less experienced" folks hah.

    What dish to use to get a better signal on 61.5?

    I'm using a Dish 500 with the DPP LNB. The other 500, up on the roof is hitting 110, and 119. Those two satellites are for my parents' TV's, because they watch standard def. I have two dishes up on 61.5 and 72.7 at the eastern arc, for my HD Receiver. Its all linked together through a DPP44...

    What dish to use to get a better signal on 61.5?

    Due to the area where I live, the signal I get on 61.5 isn't exactly the greatest. I fine tuned the dish with a meter to the best signal I could find, which is between 46-50. Rain fade is a bit of an issue with me, not usually, but sometimes. Is there any 3rd party dishes out there that...

    311 Rusty Cable

    Check the seals where the wire enters the house. All you need is a little silicone around the entry point. Drip loops, like mentioned above are a good idea too.

    Broadband connection: will it be able to find me?

    the answer is.. your fine. I've been doing the same thing as you for a while. Now, if the actual location where the receiver should be, has a receiver connected to the internet, and it has a different external IP than the one the box at your location has, it could raise suspicion, and...

    What can I achieve with this DirecPC LNB, if anything?

    It wasn't pre-installed. I had it laying in my garage, someone gave it to me. My neighbors have trees blocking pretty much all of the southern sky. The only satellites I can hit in between the tree's are Dish Network 110, and 119. I'm sure 118.7 and a few others are possible, but theirs no much...

    What can I achieve with this DirecPC LNB, if anything?

    Haven't gotton that far yet. I still need to decide which receiver to purchase.. Theres so many options to choose from hah. I have an HDTV, so an MPEG4 would be preferred, and I prefer a DVR, but its not a necessity.

    What can I achieve with this DirecPC LNB, if anything?

    Did you just toy around with it to get a signal? Or is there somewhere I can get some numbers to use as guidelines for the install?

    What can I achieve with this DirecPC LNB, if anything?

    Isn't Ku the same band that the standard dish 500, or dish 300 use? Well, its basically standard across pretty much all of echostars fleet, isn't it? Sorry, I'm new to the whole realm of frequencies, bands, etc. :P Thanks

    What can I achieve with this DirecPC LNB, if anything?

    I don't really know much about other bands beyond Ku (I'm a long time dish network customer, and thats what really got me started on satellite stuff). Anyways, heres a pic of the LNB, and some form of rather large block thing thats on the bottom of the arm.

    Would this work? Up to 8 Satellites on one "Network"?

    Simply a concept. I have no idea if this would work or not, i just figured i would draw something up in photoshop real quick. Additional SW21's or DP21's would be used for Dual Tuner receivers, correct? Would a DP21 be preferred to use here over a SW21? I mean, if the concept would even work...

    Any 3rd party switches compatible with Dish?

    I want to get 5 dishes working on my setup.. I have a DPP44 with four working dishes on it right now, But I'd like to add in another location, The only way I have found to do this, is through using a DPP44 and a DP21. Like this guy did...

    LED's on dish

    Ditto, But they don't look very bright at all, also, they look like they are just white. I'm looking for some neon, something trippy :P. Might just be able to swap out the white LED's for some blue or green ones, With the right selection of LED's, you should be able to brighten up pretty well...

    LED's on dish

    Hopefully this isn't too off-topic for this section. But I was roaming around the forums a bit, and found the concept of putting LED's on your dish. I really like the idea, A few bright neon blue LED's aiming at the reflector would look pretty snazzy. How would you go about setting this up...

    My Dish Install, pics Descriptions, etc.

    I have a WRT350N, which its main purpose is a Access Point and a DHCP Server, A Cisco Small Business 10/100/1000 gigabit switch is connected to the WRT350N. I run a direct patch cable to the Receiver from my switch, I haven't really investigated much, but I believe the 922 is only capable of...
