    Taking Dish to my new home!

    Thanks for the FCC rules, but I don't feel like going up against the community, especially as a new member! I'm sure, one way or another I won't go without TV!

    Taking Dish to my new home!

    I also can't imagine not getting OTA from Tampa, but that's what the Antenna Web said about my location! I'm pretty sure that the HOA will not allow external TV antennas. When I get the chance, I'll talk to some of my neighbors, and see what they do for TV, but I think Spectrum pretty much has...

    Taking Dish to my new home!

    Thanks for this link! I went into it yesterday and using my exact address, I was much surprised to find out that even though I'm slightly less then 30 miles from Tampa, I would get 0 channels without putting up a 30ft antenna, which I can't do. Another thing to consider!

    Taking Dish to my new home!

    I built my house 20 years ago, and it's located Upstate NY in a rural area. Cable was available at that time for TV only, and internet was tel line dial up! Cable was analog, and even though there were only standard def CRT tvs, the cable picture was really terrible, and I lived with it for...

    Taking Dish to my new home!

    Thanks for the reply! I may have worded my question incorrectly. I do not have a contract now, and I'm trying to verify that by moving, that Dish will not require a new contract with the installation! Did you have a contract before you moved? I also read on this site, that if I understand it...

    Taking Dish to my new home!

    I've been with Dish for about 17 years at my NY home, and recently bought a home in Florida which will become my full time residence! The previous owner had Spectrum, and it was easier on a temporary basis to just continue with them. The mean time, I have my Dish account on pause, and selling my...

    Losing my HD channels end of the year?

    The installer used the same pole that the 500 was on that was pointing to 61.5, and didn't use struts. He installed a 1000.4 dish, and it seems fine, but also used the other 500 that was pointed to 119 for my locals! Is this correct, because I thought that my local would be on the 1000.4...

    622 New Firmware L631...

    Siince I got it yesterday morning, it seems to have fixed all my problems from L630! I was getting black screen without/with sound 3 times a day, and had to restart the receiver. On a recorded show, sometimes FF through commercials, the picture would freeze. All gone until the next...

    DIsh Nnetwork - Distant Network Feeds on Eastern Arc Satellites

    I got off the phone with them, and your right about change of address, they set up a "snowbird account" You tell them your new address, and every time you move, just call them! For Free, and if you have the monthly service charge($6.00), they will send a tech to your campsite to make sure your...

    Warped dish?

    The dish looks perfect! The bend was mild on the lower left corner of the rim on the back of the dish, it did not affect the shape of the reflector. I'll just have to wait until I get to Florida and try it. If it doesn't work, I'll just go to a Dish dealer, and pick up another reflector...

    Anyone have a 1000 dish, LNB and the combiner so I can run one coax from it for sale

    rexlan, No offense, but you can afford to fuel up a motor home, but can't spend $80 bucks to buy a 1000.2, or 4 dish? Give me a break:mad:

    Warped dish?

    ardeel thanks again. The dent was not in the convex of the reflector at all, just on the back rim which I was able to straighten out, so I guess it will ok. By the time we are going to leave, I should have over 80 hrs of HD movies, and TV on both the internal and external HDD's. That...

    Warped dish?

    Thanks for the reply, I did not buy the dish from him, and until a couple of days ago didn't know he existed. I bought the dish from a eBay merchant, and was delivered UPS. The box looked fine, with a slight tear, so I didn't refuse it. When I finally took out the parts, and looked at...

    Warped dish?

    I was at a Dish retailer this morning picking up some RG-6 cable and asked him some questions. I just bought a new dish 1000.4 dish to use on a tri-pod camping in Florida. I asked him about aiming this dish, and he said good luck, and it might take up to 2 hours! Then he said something I...
