DISH recently sent me an email saying that I needed to have a service call to have my dish flipped to the new arc (I am in Buffalo DMA). When the guy came he said they had placed an order to have him flip the dish and install new receivers. We already have two 211s and when he saw that he said...

I am in Buffalo DMA. I upgraded my equipment to 211s but my dish is still on the western arc. Is the deadline to move to EA still the end of 2015? Also, I have the Smart Pack-will I get HD locals if they flip me over to EA? I haven't seen anything here on this issue lately. Thanks

I have a Dish 500 and two receivers with the Smart Pack. So, I had a 301 in the bedroom and 311 in the living room and today I swapped in a 211z for the 311 in the living room and moved the 311 to the bedroom. This enabled me to get rid of the 301 which is about to become obsolete. The 311 is...

Anyone know if RFD-TV is still ITC on G13? If so, could I get it with a six-footer? Thanks

The installer came today. First thing he say, "This is susposed to be a service call right"? I told him it was an install, so he's in a bad mood right away because of that and the heat. After two hours still no service. Now I need a new smart card for my 301 receiver! They are susposed to be...

I am proud to say I am the newest member of the free TV club. :D The TV I watch is nothing but FTA and C band-my wife will have Dish Network in the bedroom. Any others here with free TV on at least one TV?

I just reconnected with Dish for the Family Pak. I told her I didn't have a dish up anymore and she said she would connect me to the service dept. to schedule an install. All I got from them was a busy signal. Then I got to thinking that I have a Dish 500 and (probably) the LNBs but no cables...

Here's my situation: I am a former Dish customer who now has Adelphia analog cable. I just put in a C band dish to go with my FTA unit. Adelphia is being taken over by Time-Warner-just received a letter today, so the time is approaching if I decide to change. According to the "Dish...

Just noticed this-happy birthday to a guy who helps alot of folks here!!! :bday :bday :bday

Thinking about getting a stationary 6 footer for CBand. I would keep my motorized setup for KU. I went through many of the old threads but I would like to know the current situation. Questions: 1. What can I really expect to get on analog and digital? I am thinking of pointing at either...

Thinking of getting one of these for a "mini-bud" project. A couple of questions: 1. What is the difference between this and the ASC-421? 2. What dishes will work with this? I would be looking around for a free dish for right now. Thanks

Just my two cents after a couple of days use of the Fortec compared to the Coolsat: The Good: Accurate scanning. The receiver shows new TPs found in white, old ones in blue-nice idea! AC-3 works with no gimmicks or workarounds needed-big plus! Manual PID entry is possible-this would not...

For sale, I am offering a Coolsat 4000 Pro FTA receiver and a Twinhan 102G FTA PC (PCI) card. Both items are in very good condition and come with the original packaging. The Coolsat also comes with the unit, remote and manual only-no switch or cables. The 102G comes with all original items...

As I mentioned, I am working on a (political) website and am thinking of adding a forum too. I would be interested in knowing how much you feel a moderator should allow? Anything within reason or no personal attacks of any kind? And how do you define an "attack"? :confused: I might need my...

T2K’s Greatest Hits Just a small sample of the outrageous statements made by “T2K” in the Chit-Chat Forum. 1. Last time when Americans died for freedom was the WWII. Ever since usually they served imperial expansion, it's well known everywhere. 2. Soldiers are dying at this very moment to...

FYI, the Azteca mux has diminished to just two FTA channels now-two are scrambled. The two FTA now scan in as Azteca 7 and 13.

When I did my review of the new Coolsat firmware, I mentioned that maybe somebody from Coolsat reads this forum since they implimented a few of the most asked for features from Sat Guys members. So lets say for a moment that they do drop by here or imagine that you could bend the ear of the...

All of a sudden I am getting this with 72 % quality on the Coolsat! Never able to get anything at all in the past-not a hint. Hope it continues and is not an anomoly of some kind. :D

As some of you may know, I sold my Pansat 3500 on Ebay recently. The person that bought it has emailed me and says the default password of "0000" is not working. He states that "Parental Control" and other options are greyed out in the menus and he can't access them. I never changed the password...

After being a member for awhile it seems to me that some of the same "Newbie" questions come up over and over again. While the members here are glad to help out, I still think that some well-written step by step walkthroughs would be a welcome addition to the FAQ area. These would be "newbie"...

I just got a 102g. I am slaving it from my Coolsat and using MyTheatre trial version. The software that came with the card crashed constantly and ProgDVB looked like a huge learning curve. Questions: 1. I am running a Soundblaster Live 24 bit (my Audigy died) with a 5.1 speaker setup. Is...

I recently decided to add a second LNB (DBS) to my setup. I ran into some problems scanning 119 and couldn't get any signal at all. I was stumped and too embarrassed to post on the forum so I PMed Iceberg. He immediately informed me that 119 has spotbeams and that could be the answer to my...
