    Grammies - Sound Quality

    Anyone notice poor sound quality on CBS Newyork for the Grammies? I found the music was much louder than the voices of the performers on my 301 and 501 receivers.

    SW 64 Problem

    I have had several short power outages recently and a couple of times when things came back up my SW64 was not working correctly, some transponders were missing and was getting wrong satellite on others. The cure has been to remove the power from the power inserter for a few minutes then put it...

    Quality improved on Dish?

    I like to see a good picture and to me the Dish signal in most cases is quite acceptable on a normal 32 inch screen, some channels are better than others but am sure most of this comes from garbage in, garbage out syndrome. I really think it is unfair to say the picture quality sucks, its got...

    SuperDish delayed

    Try living in the islands, two six foot dishes are the order of the day for 119 and 110. Everything is relative if you want TV and a 36 inch wide dish is really very small, when its on the roof you will hardly notice the difference in size!

    receiving out of area transponders

    You have a half way reasonable signal, therefore a bigger dish will help. The Detroit locals are on transponder 10 at 110 therefore point the Dish 500 antenna at 119 only and use a larger dish for 110, my guess is a 1.2 meter would be sufficient to give you an 80 plus signal which is quite...

    Dish 500 Plus Sat. 105 in Puerto Rico

    Dish unfortunately seem not to consider the PR market big enough to bother about. They leave the extended guide on transponder 29 at 110 although even with a 6ft dish it is very marginal and sometimes will not download. I am sure with a little innovative thinking they could move that...

    Charges for 322

    Am I right in thinking that you could now have effectively have 12 receivers on one account if they were all 322's. I assume they each 322 will count as one receiver as far as the account is concerned and will be charged one receiver fee for the box.

    Note from RCA on Dish Network TV's

    Its a question of customer choice, providing the customer is advised when purchasing of the requirement for and E* subscription its up to him if he wants the subsidized E* TV or, if not, he is free to buy whatever TV he likes at the going street price. To me its nothing to get excited about...

    What is wrong with Dish Receivers

    Out of interest could someone enlighten me as to what is wrong with Dish Receivers. I see so many posts about how bad they are and wonder if I am missing something. Personal experience for the last two years has been the opposite with a 501 and a 301. Admittedly the 501 had problems at the...

    Your Opinion Counts! - Should we upgrade the forum software?

    It works fine for me, am sure there are better things to spend limited funds on rather than new software when this is quite adequate.

    Multi Switches

    I want to feed sixteen receivers from the Dish 119 satellite, what switches do people recommend? It seems to me that the switches readily available out there should work as there will only be voltage switching for left and right hand polarization and nothing for satellite selection. Are...

    Tech Chat - What do you want to see?

    Could reception of 110 in Puerto Rico on the E*VI transponders be improved by doing some swop arounds so all main programming on transponders 13,24,25 and 29 are put on E*VIII transponders.

    Dish Network wish list for the next six months?

    It would be great if Dish were to recognise Puerto Rico a little more. The transponders on E*VI, particularly 13,24,25 and 29 suffer from very low signal strength in PR. Possibly DISH could improve things by moving the CONUS locals to the E*VI transponders and put the mainstream CONUS...
