    Yee Haw indeed. How's about some more beans Mr Taggart? I'd say you've had enough! HD is one thing, 4K another. What about smellavision?

    All those companies could of taught Al Capone or John Gotti a few extorsion lessons. We have Armstrong who are the only game in town. Buy the 3 way bundle and its more or less unlimited on the internet package. Drop the TV and phone keeping the same internet plan, and they charge you an...

    So with AOTA aside, how does one get one of these 1000.4 LNBF's apart? The two halves of the cast metal housing seem to be press fit together? I have to dissect this thing, just got to do it. I know, I know, no user serviceable parts inside lol. I'm curious as to what makes one of these crap...

    Thanks, So about half a dozen peaking sessions in the sun on 90 degree days, each time dragging 125' of extension cord, the receiver, and a 7" TV down through the woods, and $62 and change with the shipping being almost half. Life is good. LOL..... A little bit of work fixing something that a...

    Yes Sir, EA. The sweet smell of success, well not really a smell. Thanks for all the comments, advice, etc. Just replaced the LNB while clearing the receiver, ran check switch.......Hello. On the shot above port 4 shows N/C. The bad LNB showed CONN under 61.5? I assume N/C is no connection...

    I guess I am going to find out this evening. And Interestingly Fedex evidently knows what a PITA this situation, or perhaps myself, has been.

    Google in discussions with Dish to launch new wireless giant

    The best pizza in da burgh is actually in Squirrel Hill. Mineo's or Aiello's when younz go through Pittsburgh again. Take your pick or hit them both, both are on the same street, in the same block. Take a double dose of cholesterol and hypertension meds prior to.

    Portable EA 1000.4 2019 issues.

    I didn't know they were all the same, thanks. I believe I read somewhere a long time ago that once you run check switch on the 211K with nothing connected, then connect to port 2 on the 1000.4 the only "eye" that would then be powered would be for 72.7 and would eliminate the chance of mixing...

    Thanks, but my understanding of the 0.4 EA dish is once checkswitch is cleared and saved, the only LNB active is the 72.7 as long as the coax is connected to port #2? I had actually thought about looking for 61.5 with the 72 or 77 LNBs just to confirm the 61.5 LNB is dead, never got around to it.

    Portable EA 1000.4 2019 issues.

    I appreciate all the comments / help. Yes I have 72.7 and 77 dialed in solid, at least as solid as I have ever had at this particular place, which I have set up at least 8 times a year for the last 5 years or more and never had this kind of crap to deal with. At least I can get something and...

    Portable EA 1000.4 2019 issues.

    Thanks for that. I just spent 2 hours in the beating sun playing with this damn thing which involved stretching 125' of extension cord down through the woods to set the 211K up beside the Dish. Now no matter what I do I can not get 61.5 to show in check switch. My procedure. Disconnect the...

    Thanks Dutch.... I was thinking LNB also as when I get home and connect to the 1000.2 WA dish all is good. Sort of eliminates the receiver as the culprit. This morning I lost the Altoona/Johnstown locals again. I went in the install pages and could not get any signal on 61.5 I am at a...

    I used to disconnect the cable at home and run c No. Clear as a bell. As said earlier plenty of signal on all 3 sats, and nothing but clear sky.

    No storms. Works fine at home but that's on a Western Arc 1000.2 permanent mount dish. I have a western arc LNB with me that will go on the 1000.4 but no way am I hitting those from this campsite due to woods. That has me thinking its not the receiver. Always worked fine here in the same exact...

    Hello. I have a 1000.4 dish tripod mounted which has been used for about 9 years when we are in our RV. I use a VIP 211K. Up until this year in the same location I never had a problem at a campground near our house. (30 miles) away. I would set up and peak to the EA birds, all was well, would...

    What is the typical signal level, 72.7 EA 1000.4

    Hello, yesterday was the first I was able to play around with my new 1000.4 EA setup I use as a tripod mounted portable. I did not spend a lot of time tweaking but what is the typical level of signal on a 1000.4 EA during setup on 72.7? The highest I had in overcast condition,s right after a...

    VIP 211K and 1000.4 Eastern Arc

    Well I still use WA at home, and will be using it at the campground most of the time. What was nice about having them both on WA, SD on 110 and HD on 129 was in the rare instance we get a bad enough thunderstorm, with torrential rain, 129 was the first to go out and we could still get the locals...

    Thanks, It works Well I finally had the time to start messing with the new equipment. Above is the 1000.2 WA LNB ON the 1000.4 Dish. The 1K.2 WA LNB on the 1K.4 Arm Bracket Hello WA. I did get a little more signal with the 1K.4 dish than I used to get with the 1K.2 Dish. And I did not...

    I assume it is the center half round tab, on the plastic LNB 1000.4 bracket, without the screw hole which slides into the LNB?

    Best way to use home receiver in RV?

    I wasn't very clear in the post. When using the 7"LCD I take it, and the receiver to the location of the dish. I have to run an extension cord out there buts its not that much of a pain. RV - Built from the lightest and cheapest materials known to man and assembled with staples and glue. A...

    VIP 211K and 1000.4 Eastern Arc

    The tab Thanks, I knew I read it somewhere. Now maybe someone could tell me what tab? The large one that is like 1 1/2 long that bends back inside the arm? Or part of the plastic LNB mounting bracket? In any case I will learn the hard way later when I dig the 0.2 out of the camper and get it...
