    5.1 audio on UFC PPV events

    I was afraid that was going to be the answer, basically, "it's not our problem." :( I'm sure Dish is not intentionally doing something to effect the 5.1, but I do think there is a technical issue on Dish's end. As I said, the 5.1 works fine viewing other channels on the same Dish box. But on...

    5.1 audio on UFC PPV events

    I double-checked, and that's set properly. As I said, the 5.1 works on other channels, just not on UFC PPV events.

    5.1 audio on UFC PPV events

    Yeah, $55 is pricey, but I usually split it with other buddies who are fight fans, too. We do have some bars that show the UFC, but when you factor in the inflated beer priced, sometimes it's cheaper to watch it at home. Anyway, I PM'd a DiRT guy, hopefully he'll chime in.

    5.1 audio on UFC PPV events

    Recently switched to Dish from DirecTV and I've noticed that I'm not getting true 5.1 audio on UFC PPV events on Dish, where I did on DirecTV. My setup is fine, as other programming on the Dish (Showtime, for example) is definitely yielding true 5.1 On a UFC PPV event, my A/V receiver...

    1000.4 Pointing difficulty

    Yes, I know it refers to the satellites, not the dish. But I got the impression that the 1000.4 came with the LNB's for 61.5, 72.7 and 77 and the 1000.2 came with the LNB's for 110, 119 and 129. No?

    1000.4 Pointing difficulty

    At the risk of incurring the wrath of skyviewmark again, let me ask if this is a true statement: The 1000.4 Dish is EA, and the 1000.2 Dish is WA? I get this impression from DishPointer.com, where it only shows 61.5, 72.7 and 77 for the 1000.4 and only 110, 119 and 129 for the 1000.2. This is...

    OK, that's what I thought, but wasn't sure. Thanks.

    1000.4 Pointing difficulty

    I got a guy coming this weekend, but I'm still curious to learn about it.

    1000.4 Pointing difficulty

    Here's a frightening thought, since at first I was able to pick up 110, does that mean maybe this is a Western Arc dish after all, or not necessarily?

    1000.4 Pointing difficulty

    OK, when I'm done with the Check Switch my options are Cancel, Retest, and Save. I'm assuming to "clear everything out" I select Save, correct?

    1000.4 Pointing difficulty

    OK, so when I get the message after the checkswitch that says something like "we found more satellites under the previous settings", just ignore that and hit save? thanks, Mike

    1000.4 Pointing difficulty

    Eastern arc. Yeah, I've read that the 1000.4 is the toughest dish to point....might be time to call in the pros.

    1000.4 Pointing difficulty

    Spent all day yesterday trying to tune in 119, until I realized that my dish is a 1000.4. (Surprisingly, I was able to get 110 at 77 signal strength, but never 119.) Anyway, once I realized I was pointing at the wrong satellites for this dish, I made the appropriate adjustments: Zip Code...
