    Scott...help..."Searchsail ???

    FlyingJ Sorry AdAware didn't do the trick. I had a problem where every time I typed a misspelled, or invalid IP address in my browser, it opened the webpage, "1dial.search-results-site.com". It started doing it about 2 months ago. Before that there would be a message on the...

    Scott...help..."Searchsail ???

    FlyinJ Trying running Ad-Aware SE ver.1.06. It is free, and can be downloaded at www.lavasoft.com . I use it along with Spybot S&D. Each one seems to find problems that the other one doesn't. I have run ad-aware on other peoples computers where it has found hundreds of incidence's of spyware...

    Signal just died on me

    If you just had it installed last month then the installation is still under warranty. You have 90 days. Call dish back an tell them you want them to fix the problem, under the warranty.

    Terrible Customer Service!!

    Adrian777, Just so you know. The cards are not universal. They will only work in the receiver they were assigned to. Your extra card will be useless to him.

    Terrible Customer Service!!

    I have found if you get the right CSR, they will usually do the right thing. By there own admission they screwed up getting you the new card. Give Dish another call, and suggest you should be compensated in some way for all the time you had waisted correcting "their" mistake. Point out to...

    Signal strength

    Randall, Facing the satellites, he moved it to the left. It turned out the 2 spots I picked were no good. They were both far enough to the left, but couldn't get the elevation because of another very large branch from another tree. He had to move it all the way to the back of the house, and...

    Signal strength

    Dish came today and checked the original Dish 500 install. He determined 110 was pointing through the tree. He located a clear line of site opening using his "Suunto Tandem Clinometer and Satellite Locator". He installed a second Dish 500 for the 110 satellite, which is what he said the first...

    Installing Dish - installer rules make it impossible!

    If the chimney's sound, its a great place to install it. Dish Dude is talking about straps. I lagged mine 7 years ago and it's still as good as new.

    Signal strength

    The latest software update was installed on my 311 last night. For some reason all the program guide listings for satellite 110 PPV, and the 2 showtime listings were gone from all the lists. Info had an X where the 119 & 110 would have been listed, and it said to run a check switch. Going to the...

    What if there is a TREE.............

    Lyle, it's not just the LNB the satellite needs to see. The signal need to reach dish. the signal is bounced off the dish, and is directed at the LNB. I have a similar situation with a tree. It's posted here. http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=68261

    Signal strength

    Randall , You're right, moving the dish300 to the left is my only option. As to how far. The minimum I need to move it is the distance from were it's pointing now to the edge of the left side of the tree, or 17'-18'. There is a second chimney that is far enough away that might be a good...

    Signal strength

    Thanks Randall, that answers the question about moving the dish back. It ain't gonna happen unless my neighbor lets me mount the dish on their roof. Moving the dish 500 isn't going to be an option. I think the open area I have is large enough accommodate the second dish...

    Signal strength

    It was originally off by 2 degrees. Supposed to 127 and it was 125. Changed it to 127, but the signal didn't change. Open area is very limited using the dish 500. If I were to mount the dish 300 on the opposite side of the chimney (to the left of dish 500), it would be moved about 3'. I...

    Local channel program data missing.

    You have to call Dish for a third time to make sure that at least 2 of the CSRs' come up with same reason for the problem. Although the next one will probably have another explanation. LOL

    Signal strength... 311 S/W update solved my problem In march I was upgraded to Dish 500. I have a 2 receiver setup. (2700, 311 ) The signal strength for 110 was only 49-55 on transponders 11 & 12, & spotbeam transponders 4 & 6 read 80-90. Sat 119 read 109-114 on transponder 11 & 12, and...

    Grounding a New Install?

    Then why does it say in the dp34 instructions, "the switch takes the place of a ground block?" If they didn't want you to ground it they wouldn't put it in the instructions. Why would grounding the switch increase the chances of it failing? If anything it would lessen the chances of it...

    Dish Mover charges

    Iceberg, I think the real reason the installer did a good job was because he's been reading this thread. I'm sure he was slightly intimidated by your picture, which gave him incentive to do a good job. LOL

    DISH Network Offers Chance to Watch Mets, Save Money; Non-Baseball Fans Save More

    Scott do you know if this is for new customers only, or can existing customers take advantage of the offer? I have the AT60 package now with locals for $31.99, and I live in the NY metro area.

    Dish Mover charges

    Why not play the game. Call call up E* on her behalf, and tell them you might have to consider changing to D* or cable if they're not willing to waive the fee. Ask the to do it as a good will gesture, for all the years she has been with E*. Bottom line, "those who don't ask don't get". All they...

    E* full of it when cancelling?

    Tell Charter you want it all in writing before you'll sign anything. See if it keeps them honest.

    The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Reported it using a PM to one of the moderators, who thought it was strange. The original messages showed up a day or so later.

    new customer instalation cost question

    If it's possible, get it in writing before they do the install. I'm not sure E* is willing to do that. It could save you a lot of aggravation later on.

    Why subscribe to DISH???

    Sorry about that. When I went to the local channels at Dish website, it showed Omaha as an area that got the locals as did Duluth. What I didn't do was read the fine print at the bottom of the page. "Channels may vary by market" I stand corrected.
