    With 129 gone, who is best?

    I have 4 separate 1 meter dishes, feeding a DPP44. Since losing 129, who would be next best one? Not looking for international content. Thanks, Kevin

    Hopper w/Sling curiosities

    Just having increasing issues with a VIP612 and upgraded to a Hopper w/Sling. A couple oddities arose: > can I make the recording schedule only show "now" and the future? It's showing Everything I've scheduled. Even a week ago. > is there a way to rename OTA recordings? I see no way to rename...

    Sheesh, try to pay a compliment...

    Tried to talk to customer service, but voice system didn't give an option for a general comment. So, maybe they'll see it here. I Really like the latest user interface: > hit "guide" and select which one - no more toggling through the list > save to dvr 2+ of the same show and it creates a...

    Since 77W is gone, who best to use?

    Hi, I have a 4 separate LNB/reflector setup feeding a DPP44. It was for 61.5, 72.7, 77, & 129. Now with 77 decommissioned (total surprise to Me), what would be the next best choice? Too cold to change now, but in 4-5 months yes. I was looking for a transponder / channel map, but all I see still...

    DVR models compatible w/DPP33 system

    Is there a definitive list of what works with what? I need to replace a Hopper & Joey and am getting conflicting answers. I run separate 40" dishes into a DPP33 & SoloNode. Wish I could buy a 612 or 722, but they're obsolete anyway. Is it only the Hopper3 w/16 tuners that require the LNB /...

    Doubling on 61.5 & 129

    Has anybody setup 4 dishes: 61.5, 72, 77 & 129? I moved my 3 36" dishes from western to eastern arc ~10/16. When I joined Dish, there was no eastern arc. 110 & 119 were quite fade free, 129 not so much. After change, same with 72 & 77 being good, and 61.5 better, but not immune. So, the idea is...

    Copies of DVR archives

    How to copy Dish DVR files via USB This does Not violate DRM protection. Unknown whether you can format a drive on 1 DVR then copy files recorded on another. Works fine copying between drives formatted by same DVR. > Format the destination drive by a Dish DVR > build a...

    Double sized reflector?

    I'd appreciate some feedback... I'm sick of springtime storms degrading HD->SD and outages in general. I've been looking for a substantially bigger reflector for a 3 LNB setup to no avail. How crazy is just doubling the reflector (H & V) and remounting the LNB ass'y at twice the distance? Keep...

    Dish network component specs

    Is there a comprehensive list of lnbfs & switches that describes their actual specs? I mean compatibilities would be a start, but details of power & switching voltages. Enough to assemble systems for unconventional situations. Two scenarios: > I lose HD & local station feeds way too often, due...

    New registration course adjustments...

    Howdy, Just registered. Not a member of many forums (<10), because utility is proportional to value. What I'd suggest to reduce angst in signup: 1> put the "human verification" window/text entry at the bottom, AFTER all required fields are filled in. 2> put both the acceptable avatar file...
