    Starband Chimney Mount?

    I was looking online for a chimney mount to mount a 1 foot microwave antenna on and I found this Starband Chimney Mount that looks really well designed. However, I can't seem to locate one to buy. Does anyone know who actually made the thing and perhaps a model number? It seems to use a...

    1000.4 Just for 61.5?

    Has anyone tried using a 1000.4 just for a single slot (With a dishpro single), such as 61.5? I question whether it'd work better than the Dish 500 but I have the 1000.4 kicking around and my 61.5 signal could be better here. The 1000.4 was a big disappointment as-is here in Central Maine...

    Best Bang/Buck Satellite Finder for 1000.4?

    I see the Acutrac III Plus does the 1000.4 pretty well, but is there something else that might work for a little less money? I have the LED bar graph version of the SF95 right now, but if I install it in-line with the VIP612 feed, it confuses the box. This Dish has some good features...

    New 1000.4 Installation Q's

    If the 1000.4 guide shows my zipcode area (044xx), does this mean it does work there? If I can convince an installer to provide me the lease hardware, I'd like to convert my brother away from the single-dish D* but I just want to make sure that I can use EA here. There's a clear view in the...

    Gizmodo Compares D* and E*

    HD Satellite Service Showdown: DirecTV Battles Dish to the Death If you guys want to free your mind about either or both services, it will probably help their comments along. I've already done the same. Seems to be an interesting read so far.

    Who Broke Starz HD?

    I was watching Talladega Nights and shortly after it started at 9p it went to black screen.. Now I hear a football game's audio and closed captioning but no movie.. I switched between channels, etc. and that didn't help. What in the hell?. :) --- UPDATE: Looks like they fixed it right after...

    VIP722 Box Reboots on Foxnews Often?

    For some reason I notice my VIP722 seems to reboot often (several times a day) if I leave it on Foxnews during the day. However, if I watch NESN or other SD or HD channels, the box never reboots. FoxNews jokes aside... Does anyone else have this experience? It's strange and didn't happen...

    Dish HD in Northern New England?

    Based on maps I saw, Northern New England is outside the footprint for 129. What are people using (dish/Sats) to get Dish HD without having access to 129? Thanks in advance.

    Upgrading without Installer?

    I self-installed my Dish 500 on a tripod back a few years ago. I have 2 boxes with Lease (311), one owned Dish 721, and an owned 311 that I bought off ebay. I own a DP34 as well. My leased boxes and 721 were from a dealer in Ohio. They mailed me the boxes and a Dish500 with Dishpro Quad and...

    Dish Network Can't Activate 721s...

    My beautiful and self-purchased 721 had a drive failure last Thursday and didn't want to work anymore. Other than that it's been a great thing to own since nearly 2 years ago. Dish offered me to buy the 5.98 equipment plan, or pay 49$ to trade it out with a refurb. The refurb came Monday...
