    How to check if a receiver is free and clear?

    I have a 921 that was traded to me for some work done and I want to make sure there are no charges associated with it. Is there any way to do this online, or do I have to call and go into phone bot hell?

    Installer Late! Compensation from Dish?

    For every customer complaining about an installer being late, there was a previous customer who was not home or had a difficult/unreasonable job. Kind of like you with your "hide my dish where nobody can see it" and "lets just do a couple quick wall fishes". If you want timely service, get out...

    An Dishnet installer funny

    I've had my hornets nest install experience, never again. Nobody's TV is worth a handful of stings to me.

    Got Phone Call today from Dish Nazi Audit team

    I agree, we should have a knowledge sharing section and tips on how to beat the audit without having to get up from the couch. It would be nice to know what kind of info they are asking for.

    Mess left after my upgrade

    No way does the barrel connector equal a 3dB loss, we figure 1 dB connection in our MDU schemes and have measure less than that. (assuming use of a quality compression end and HF quality barrel)

    Big Holed

    I'm thinking that owning (not leasing) a 411, DPP44, and a Dish1000 and having it all installed for $90 bucks is a pretty sweet deal.

    Are there any DishPro compatible LNBs out there?

    We use them in Alaska, I could provide you with the info for my distributor if you want. They are D-Tube style DLNB's, we remove the plascit and it has a round neck underneath.

    Aspect "stuck"...

    That happens to me once in a great while on my 921, it usually fixes itself overnight.

    129 in Alaska?

    Any new Alaska 129 info? One of my Dish distributers said they couldn't find it with a 6' and the other said it goes in and out on a 1M. I guess I'll have to play with it when it warms up a bit.

    In Alaska W/2 dishes PVR 721, looking for 110 & 119

    I would re-aim your 1M at the 110 to see what kind of signal strenth you get on the 110 if you have a line of site, my guess is you'll be better off with a 1.2M down there for the 110.

    Frustrated in Fairbanks

    That's crazy that Fairbanks is on a 110 spotbeam, what are they thinking? I haven't played with the 129 yet, I'm hoping to be able to pick it up on a 1.8M dish, but we will see.

    Frustrated in Fairbanks

    Ummm, the Alaska spotbeam is tp 9 on the 119.... and you will need a 1M dish and 1.8M dish for a decent dish 500 install, but it will require 2 cables from the dishes to the dist. point. You can run all the receivers you want with a single cable to the dish to the dist point, and you can even...

    Dish 1000 in Alaska?

    6coho, I recommend you realign your 6' to the 110 sat and add a 1M or 4' for the 119. That will give you the bulk of the HD programming and is the setup I have. We have experimented with the 129 and it seems to be to week to pick up effectively with a 6' dish unfortunately. Maybe Dish has...
