    EA LNB with FTA dish?

    I've read about the new two satellite EA LNB. Would it be possible to use that LNB with a FTA dish or even the SuperDish to get more surface area reflection and thus greater signal strength to eliminate rain and snow fade and to simplify the connections eliminating the DPP+ Switch? I've read...

    How does a dish receiver decide which transponderto use?

    I have the dishes on my roof so they are not as easy to get to but I do have quick easy access to the dpp44 switch. If I pick a channel that is on 72, disconnect that Sat, then I can see if it defers to 129 without going through the check switch setup.

    How does a dish receiver decide which transponderto use?

    Thanks for the reply but I am not actually seeing that situation. I was having trouble getting nonpixelated CNBC or the Weather channel wwhen my only SAT was 129. When just 61 and 72 were installed then 72 did a fine job. When I just added 119 and 129 the receiver chooses 129 even though 72 is...

    Blockbuster Movie Pass - Questions Thread

    I had Blockbuster's 3 movies out at a time package with auto billing to my credit car. Because I "added" the Blockbuster Movie Pass 4 days after the auto bill date I had already paid for a month with 3 movies out at a time. Dish account shows the BMP with 1 movie out at a time now. So I...

    I was using a DISH 500+ aimed at the Western Sats; 110,119, and 129 and also 61.5 on a seperate Dish 500 so I could get my Syracuse, NY locals. Back when this was installed there were line of sight issues and everything I wanted in HD was not availble on 72.7 as it is today. I just had an...

    Which Receiver to Get

    Max hard drive size I hooked up a 750GB hard drive to each of my two 211's. I was told that the max size was 750GB. Does the 211K have a higher max at 1TB? Does the 211k also have an internal hard drive that comes with the receiver?

    722K Screen Shots and Initial Setup Thoughts

    211 as dVR? My experience setting up two 211's as DVR's: It is frustrating to call Dish for any real technical support these days. Idiots from a foreign land reading scripts who have no idea what they are talking about. I used to be able to press technical support and get a higher level...

    New channels coming soon?

    I would be very happy to get ESPN2 HD. I really don't know why this one hasn't come to us "automatically". As far as the Outdoor Channel HD is concerned, they are currently in test mode and will be until July so they are not really available for consumer consumption.
