    HELP-Suddenly NO SIGNAL

    Will check connections again, never know! The reason I suspect the receiver is because the test shows I have signal and ?when I went to start test I got a message that tv2 was in use.

    Challenging dish site aiming problem

    I'm having a problem aiming my dish due to the location I have to put my dish. I get 110 gangbusters but 119 barely green around 20 to 25, sometimes less, which doesn't work well when a storm comes up. My post is not perpendicular/level due to a drainage pipe just under the ground but the view...

    Trouble aiming dish.... 119 comes in about 27/ 110 comes in 70+

    I'm having trouble lately with low 119 signal. I'm on a Dish 500 and a 722 receiver. The 110 comes in strong about 70 but I can't get the 119 into the 30's. I've checked the cables, re-aimed the dish, adjusted the skew with no positive results for the 119. Also, why does the transponder number...

    Free service on Sportster receiver

    Between my son and I we have two Sportster receivers that have been deactivated for quite a while. I was getting ready to list them on ebay and thought I would see if they still worked. Well, they both worked and receive all the channels. Anyone know why? Howard

    I have a 522 Dish receiver at a second house out of my regular locals area. I'm tired of paying Brighthouse for locals in Tampa Bay area especially since they just raised my rate. I'm sure I just need an OTA indoor antenna since I'm only about 20 miles from the stations but don't know what...

    Do dishes need to be a certain distance apart?

    Yes, you got my set up right but for some reason I can't get signal on the single 300 aiming at 119. I thought maybe I had the dishes too close together and it caused a problem somehow. Any thoughts? Howard

    Do dishes need to be a certain distance apart?

    I'm trying to set up a separate dish with a single DP lnb on 119 to feed into my .4 dish in order to receive my All American Distant Locals on my 722 receivers. I could not get any signal from the 119 and wondered if being to close to the other dish had anything do with it. This single lnb and...

    Lost may HD channels DISH wants me to upgrade?????

    I think the installer may have put me on 61.5 because of a hill on the east side of my property. I'm just going to let DISH do its' thing as long as I can still use my RV receiver on my old Dish 500 that I use at my brothers property in Florida. Thanks again for the info. Howard
