    Swapping External Hard Drives

    I have two Dish receivers, a 211k and a Wally. Both are active on the same account, and both are set up to use as DVRs with external hard drives. Here's my question: Can I move a hard drive back and forth between the two receivers, so that I can watch recorded movies on either one?

    Shed No Tears for ESPN

    They're getting mucho public subsidies. And at the same time, driving prices up for all the customers who don't even want them. Time for this nonsense to stop. Story link below. http://www.thewire.com/national/2013/12/leagues-it-covers-espn-part-sports-public-subsidy-racket/356534/

    Problems Changing Battery in DSR-410

    I have three of those Motorola DSR-410 receivers. I used to have four. I attempted to change the battery out on one of them this past week, and lost my authorization, hence lost all DMX programming. Broke the little holder out, which was firmly attatched (soldered?) to the battery. The...

    Distant Networks with Programming Package?

    I've had a Sky Angel Subscription along with locals through Dish Network. However, Sky Angel will soon be leaving satellite in favor of IPTV. I may want to go with DirecTv for satellite service. The programming packages for DirecTv say "locals included." But I live in an area where...

    Channels Removed from PI package?

    Flipping through the channels today, I noticed that Starfish and Pentagon no longer show up in my electronic programming guide. Probably some others missing, too, but those two are channels I watched occasionally.

    Sky Angel Customer Service Hits New Low

    Got home this evening, and my daughter was upset...no Spirit TV...In fact, no Sky Angel at all. I was getting my E* channels fine, signal on 61.5 OK, but no Sky Angel. So I called E*...they said Dominion had deactivated me. I said, "I have a lifetime subscription." They told me to call Sky...

    Replacing Battery in a Motorola DSR-410

    Got one of these receivers off eBay, found it is authorized for the DMX music audio channels on 99w Ku. I've enjoyed the music immensely--no annoying DJ talk! However, it was brought to my attention that there is an on-board battery that will probably die in the next couple of years...

    Settings For DishPro LNBF

    I would like to hook up my spare FTA receiver to my Dish Network satellite dish to receive the free audio channels on 119W. It has a DishPro lnbf...what number do I need to enter for that one? Will it work through a DP34 multiswitch, or do I need to have a separate cable coming directly from...

    Question About Adding Prepaid Receiver

    I currently have one 322 receiver active, which I use for my Sky Angel package (lifetime sub). If I were to also activate one of those prepaid 301 receivers (Dish Now/Dish Ya!--using it for the Top 60 programming package), would E* sock me with an extra receiver fee?

    Networks on Microbud

    Anyone having any luck getting the networks on c-band on G4R with your microbud setups? I played with my 1.2m primestar dish for awhile, and didn't have any luck on that satellite. My lnbf is an older Uniden, with a higher noise figure, and no cone-shaped scalar ring. I did pick up a few...

    Need Help With Motorized Dish

    OK, I got my 40" Primestar dish up and running on my Stab motor. Using my Fortec Ultra receiver, I can move the dish across the arc and pick up all the birds I'm interested in. But when I'm watching TV, and want to switch to a channel on another satellite, the dish doesn't move. The only way...

    Signal loss through Diseqc switch?

    I use a 4-way Diseqc switch to combine signals from four different satellites to one receiver (Fortec Ultra). I notice that the signal from G10r, for example, is pretty good when I run it to the receiver directly, but falls off quite a bit when I run it through the switch. Why is this? Is...

    Virgin Islands/Puerto Rico Network Mux to G4R?

    I just cruised the lyngsat site and it shows the network mux of NBC, CBS, ABC and UPN/WB that had been on G10R as now being on Galaxy 4R, C-band. I haven't turned on my TV yet to see whether these stations have been taken off of G10R yet, but this doesn't look good. Maybe Diamond Jim is...

    Thumbs Up for Fortec 0.4 Lnbf!

    I picked up an extra Primestar dish (the smaller oval one, 36x26) to see if I could get it to work as a dedicated Ku dish for G10. With the Primestar lnbf, it seemed no matter how I tweaked it, I could only pick up a couple of the stronger transponders. Then I swapped that lnbf out for the...
