    Hi DIRT Want new complete setup with Hopper 3 and 4 or 5 Joeys.

    Cannot get a straight answer from customer service or online chat. I have been a customer for 16 years and I think out of contract for most of it I would like new dish etc.

    Hopper 3 not available in my area

    I have just spent an with Dish chat. What a waste of time. They said you need a bigger dish and we are out of them. We are out of the receivers. Our systems says, but they can not tell me what it says. They cannot tell me if they will give me a new setup. We don't have Hopper 3 but can get...

    Hopper 3 not available in my area

    As far as I know, they don't have any idea of my setup. So with the new switch, I can keep my present dishes and my present LNB? All they said was is was not available in my area. I thought they installed a new dish with 3 new LNB on it.

Any idea what they are talking about. I now have 3 separate dishes for 110, 119, 129. I think my dpp 44 is...

    NAME NOT ACQUIRED ON EVEN TRANSPONDERS

    I could not get channels that were on even transponder. Checked all connections and re-aimed and got signal up 2 or 3 points. That was enough to get "Name Acquired" It is all working for the time being, until Dish changes something again.

    1 output only for Birdog

    I an installing a Dish Pro Dual( single sat lnb with 2 outputs). Since I need to only run 1 to the switch, can I leave a 2nd lead(RG6), just hanging to use with my meter when I need to repoint dish? Will this hurt signal?

    best dish and lnb

    non dish lnb

    This is the answer I had gotten from a suppler. I’m not sure what you mean by feeding into a pro plus LNB unless you’re talking about it feeding into a Dish Pro switch. The LNB will work with any of the dishnetwork switches or receivers. I use one myself with my Dish500 system for 61.5 so I...

    hurricane proof

    The dish mounted so it is protected both from the north and east. It is also lower than a 2 story building to the west. Can I make struts and mount them directly to the dish? How would I add cables and where can I attach them so not to interfear with the signal?
