[QUOTE= "Moving" ie changing your physical address to qualify for different local channels is a violation of the service agreement and is a violation of FCC rules. **On the other hand, one could speculate that DISH is aware of the fact that many of they're customers are using the "moving "...

Whenever I turn on my 622 in the morning or after several hours of non usage, (standby mode), I always get a window that appears stating that I need to press the record button on my #2 remote to synchronize it with my receiver. I've obliged several time already always having my #2 remote handy...

Hello Guys, Curious about the phone line requirement thing. I currently have a VIP622 receiver that is not hooked up to a phone line. I want to eliminate that extra 5.00 a month charge and get rid of that ANNOYING message that pops up everytime after the receiver goes on standby that talks...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew if the Los Angeles HD Networks on the 129 bird are being transmitted via a spotbeam satellite or are they conus? I'll be taking my receiver up to Northern California for a few months and was hoping I could bring them in when I travel up there. I do have the...

I'm in Northern Cali and I also get similar readings from 129. Transponders are from 58 at the lowest to 77 at the highest. I guess we just have to be patient and hope for a new bird to boost that signal.

Hi, I'm in Stateline, NV (Lake Tahoe) and I'm only eligible to receive the regular Reno network affiliates via satellite. The DISH rep I spoke to on the phone said I was not eligible to receive CBS HD and that I was going to have to fax over a waiver request to the Reno CBS affiliate. This...

Shaggy, I live in Sacramento as well. I just bought my "1000" this week over at the "Satellite Guy" on Hazel Ave. in Orangevale for 99 bucks. It's brand new with lnb's included. Maybe you can try to scrounge up enough dough to get one. It's a sweet set up! ;)

"Instant Weather" is DISH's solution for folks like the original poster who's concern was getting their local weather forecast since DISH only offers a national Weather Channel feed. And when it does work, it can be very helpful. :)

Getting back to the topic of weather..... Does anyone one know why the "instant weather" feature has so many glitches. When it was available on channel 9500 it worked perfectly but since it moved over to Dish Home the five day forecast is "not available" about 60% of the time. This really...

Actually, I do have a 30 inch, round Ku Band dish that is brand new which I never used. How easy or difficult would it be to set up my "1000" lnb's to the bracketing of this dish? Do you think it would significantly help my 129 signal strength? :eureka

BTW, The LNB's I'm working with are the ones that came with the dish: Dish Pro Plus. I have an extra DPP LNB that I'm not using so I'm gonna swap that one out today for the 129 and see what happens. I used to have it pointed at the 61.5 with very good results. The whole point of getting the...

Yeah - I messed with the skew, azimuth, and elevation for a long time but this is the best I could get. Some tr's are in the upper 50's, while others are in the mid 60's, and a couple are near 80. Is the 129 footprint not as strong out west or is the 129 just a weaker satellite all together? I...

Hey Guys, I just installed my Dish 1000 dish with relative ease. I peaked the dish at 119 with a strong signal ranging from low 80's to upper 90's. 110 comes in with a similar signal strength. My issue here is that after struggling for a couple of hours I'm only able to get the 129 satellite...
