I thought KCAL was moved to spot beam a couple of years back.

As it has already been pointed out, not going to the pump on 5/15 won't accomplish anything. You are still using the same amount of gas just filling it up on a different day. Now, if enough people would park their car on 5/15 and take public transportation, walk, bike, etc.. to...

Short answer: NO! More detailed answer: In order to get the 95W signal, you will need a different dish more commonly referred to as DirecTV World Direct Dish (the dish on the left in the attached photo - notice the odd looking LNB). This dish receives signal from both 95 and 101 only! If...

The problem was Dish was breaking up locals in some markets between 2 slots (Big 4 on core slots and indies on distant non-core slots) and this is where the FCC took exception.

Hmm. this is kind of a surprise. The dual dish issue was a problem with Dish and there putting some locals on one satellite position and the remainder on another requiring the customers to have 2 dishes in order to get their locals. D* has not been doing this, the entire market is on the...

My only reasoning for looking at a birddog was the ability to find other satellites. My concern though is I am not sure if the birddog fully supports the KA band. The only thing I can find mentioned is it supports KU/KA at 101. Since we are not using KA at 101 just yet, I'm not sure what I...

That was done.. Never thought of that! I am actually thinking that it might pay to upgrade my Accutrac 22 and actually get something to help fine tune the KA band. Wife hates taking part in signal tests.. Okay! Less likely: I use to have it mounted on a pole near the house but had some...

I guess I have a couple of things to look at once I return from my vacation. I have been thinking of getting a different signal meter (mine is kind of flaky) so this might be the excuse I have been looking for. Any recommendations for one that would work well with the KA Band.

If the rg-6 were bad, would I not be seeing a signal problem with the core satellites as well.

I was able to get the KA signal back here a few moments ago (knocked some snow off the dish) but no where near what I use to be getting. my signal is peaking on the KA band at 30. This is a far cry from what I was getting a few days ago and leads me think that maybe the LNB is going as well...

this is starting irritate me as I can not figure this out. this involves my HD Set-up & Minneapolis, MN (MPEG-4) channels Configuration: AT-9 Dish Zinwell WB616 Multi-Switch HR20-700 HD Receivers When I installed my AT-9, I was getting some okay levels. 90's on the core satellties...

From your description, your signal level at 101 would lead me to think you should not have an issue getting 99 or 103. If you want to try something, Take a flash light (works better toward evening) and place it on each side of the 101 LNB. If no portion of that light hits an obstacle, you can...

It is even more frightening to turn on the TV and find myself looking at Rosie.

I was not able to find CW in the channel line-up as of this morning

I understand D* has already allocated the space to the Underwater Basket Weaving Channel, Paint Drying Channel, & Billy Mays Shopping Channel.

Wow! Guess I will have to force that download! I did not get a chance to download while it was labeled as CE..

I believe this is a Cutting Edge release. You can information about this type of release at DBS Talk. http://www.dbstalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=118

You created misinformation from my posts 1) I never said the DirecTV Plus W/HD would include 10 HD channels but rather there was a 10 channel difference in the packages. We can only assume it is 10 HD channels. We also must assume the CSR not mistaken. 2) I also said the CSR indicated the...

IMHO, Don't waste your money unless you like looking at Black screens stating this program is not available in your area.

Not at all!

Interesting thought here. The web designers did not create a way to identify those who took up the early bird special and as such only those on the early bird special are coming up at $49.50 for a full season.

According to D*, It was just a web-design mistake and it is really 2 payments of $49.50 and that is what those who signed up after the early bird special will be charged. I was surprised as well they did not fix it quickly but according to the supervisor I spoke with, this will be corrected...

I see no reason for the move other than it makes more sense to have it near E! I wonder if Reel will relocate as well.
