    DPP LNB White Cover Cracked. Bad LNB?

    Hello, I got a new DPP LNB off eBay. I just noticed that the white cover on the LNB is cracked. Does this make the LNB unusable?

    Old Skew Marking Problem?

    Hello, I moved and I am getting used DishPro gear for the new place. I got my first of two dishes today. For fun, I put on the new I-adaptor I got from dishstore.net and I started to adjust the skew for 61.5 to set it at 90. But I noticed that a setting of 92 would seem to make the setup...

    Awesome, I am saving money! Too bad DiSH

    My HDTV regurgitates SD; so, I structure my various subscriptions from Comcast and Dish to maximize HD and minimize SD. That said, Dish wants about $37 per month just for the new HD package without locals plus fees. Dish has not offered an "ownership" deal for people like me who own an 811...

    X-Ray Picture

    Has anyone experienced what looks like a frozen black and white X-ray picture caused by the Dish 811? I try to change DVI input on the switcher and to component on the HDTV but nothing happens. My HDTV is a DLP; so I am trying to figure out if a service call is in order. It happened again...

    Changed Hard Drive in iPod

    Hello! As a change from wondering about my 811 and future Dish HD channels, I turned my attention to a dead iPod I bought on eBay and the little hard drive that showed up yesterday. It was tough opening up the iPod. However, changing out the hard drive was straightforward. I had to format...

    Heard of Basket Bingo? How about Real HD Bingo !!!

    The news about the advent of MPEG4 not bringing full HD is quite sad. Consider my poor DLP - the color wheel seems to slow and the bulb seems to dim with each gasp and sigh over continued HD LITE. But wait! I have an idea. So that Dish can actually transmit Real HD on its new Dish HD...

    No Rainbow Media Spin-Off?

    Now that the Dolan's offer to take Cablevision private is off the table, this means that the spin-off of Rainbow Media will not happen just yet. Are there any thoughts about positives for Voom under a no-spin-off scenario?

    ChannelMaster MultiSwitch

    Hello, I am waiting on SW21s; however, I do have a spare ChannelMaster multiswitch for two satellite locations generally used in D* installs before the new triple LNB integrated dishes. If I am am just going to hook up two dishes, one for 61.5 and the other for 110 using legacy LNBs, would...

    811 and OTA Signal Lock Problems

    Hello, I picked up some ChannelMaster diplexers, hooked them up and got the dreaded 49% signal strength issue. With the Voom setup, I received all of my locals using the supplied diplexers. I am 5 to 20 miles from the towers. I am getting nothing on the 811. My CM eight-bay bowtie is...

    Upgrading Legacy D500 Dish to DishPro

    Hello, This may be an easy question. Can a Dish 500 dish with legacy LNBs be upgraded to DishPro LNBs without having to do a re-point or a total dish and LNB swap out?

    Diplexer Question

    Hello, I have tried search. What I would like to do is install the 110/119 and 61.5 dishes to the two SW21s per this Dish diagram and have my antenna connected over the same coax going to each 811. I will have two 811s. They will be my only Dish STBs. I have not seen discussion on how...

    HDN Covers Masters

    It's amazing that right after the Masters conclusion, HDN has a great story on it which includes the playoff. What a waste to lose this and everything else.

    MonstersHD.com and other channel websites

    Fellow Voom Orphans: I just finished watching Godzilla on Monsters HD and the promo for Ghouls Gone Wild - I suppose there might be a reason to hold to the very end - said to visit monstershd.com. It is still up. I notice that Voom logos are missing. I wonder if other channel specific...

    I did OTA by the install date; I wish I could do the dish

    I installed an eight-bay bowtie for UHF with a rotor and a three dollar Radio Shack closeout (VU-110) for VHF (saved for this occasion) on the same 8.25 foot mast. It was like my own personal rooftop Iwo Jima I never want to experience again in my life. Moving the antenna to the roof was...

    Grounding Question

    Hello, I have my install scheduled for tomorrow. During my "this old house" rehab, I have previously run coax cables from the attic to the second floor bathroom where I installed a grounding block and connected a ground wire to a cold water pipe. The coax then continues to the second floor...
