Superdish type 1 is a steel dish, just as the DISH 500. Type 2 is the fiberglass.

As an installer who's put in at least 200 of the SD's, I recommend against mounting it on the roof. The mast has far to small a footprint to hold up the 35+ pounds of SD weight. I also recommend that you stress to your installation company that you WILL NOT accept a fiberglass SD. I have...

God only knows why E* would want to buy the bastard child of satellite! Installed a VOOM once, it never worked right. And for all you wisecrackers out there, yes I installed it properly.

RG6 is critical from the dish to the receiver only. From the receiver to the TV, use whatever you want, provided the fittings are well installed and the cable isn't badly corroded.

The listings on dishnetwork.com are a joke. They don't list 99% of the installation companies in your area.

SSBCA certifies individuals, not companies. They don't have a record of what companies an SBCA certified installer works for, only where he/she lives and whom the took the test through.

Well, as a former AEI installer, I've gotta tell you, the company is a den oif theives and snakes. The office in GB WI gets rich by stealing every penny they can from the installers, they pay for squat by industry standards, They blame every problem on the installers(even when they didn't order...

I'd go withthe Hughes E1 (AKA the silver edition). Better receiver, fewer problems. Don't get me wrong, the RCA is a good box too, but the Hughes would be my first choice.

Mike H, Call DISH, Tell them you want to cancel with them to go to Dtv. GUARANTEE they'll start ponying up to save you as a customer. Should not be a problem to get a 522 out of them. If all else fails, cancel your service with them, and order in the missus name tommorrow. get all new...

Wouldn't waste the space in teh RV on the DISH 500. The DISH 300 will get you going on the 101 jsut fine, and take up less room.

90% + and no problems in two years of service? You just got your first problem, your receiver is dieing a slow death.

RCA is a matter of opinion. If I had a choice, I'd go with a HUGHES rec first, and RCA second, and the rest I'd SH** on before I used it. As far as TV's, I'll pass on an RCA every time. Their life expectency is about 5 years, tops. I have a Hughes Gold and an RCA DRD480RH UHF. No...

I'm assuming you are prepared for being added to the bottom of the long waiting list. Best way to get a 811 or 921 is to get it as a new sub. Otherwise, you're on a growing waiting list.

NO signal on 121 and 110? You've eitehr got a short tree on one side blocking, and a tall tree on the other, or your SKEW is not set correctly. MENU-6-1-1 to the signal meter, and get the angles for your zip code. Tehn Check your settings. SKEW is the backplate, Eleveation is the gradient...

Yup Dish would just swap out the clunky moterola boxes for clunky Echostar boxes. __________________ Clunky doesn't begin to describe a V* receiver. Try bulky, poorly manufactured, using six year old technology and graphics, fart and it won't work POS.

Welcome to the Installers nightmares!!! There are shortages of SuperDishes, 811's, 921's. You can get an 811 or 921 on a new install only, and usually only when you're getting the HD in a Box. I've got three existing customers mad as hell because they can't get a HD receiver. You think...

Run a Switch Test and cross your fingers. You also might want to tell dish that you hooked up your old 501, or you may find that it loses programming. Come to think of it, did yuo have locals when the 501 was hooked up? If not, you'll definitely need to let DISH know you hooked it back up...

Waht's Worse is that DISH thinks this is an original idea. TV Bingo has been on Local Channel 38 WMKG here in Muskegon for about 10 years. It's big with the blue hair crowds (why go over to the church and risk a broken hip when you can play BINGO from your Lazy-Boy?). How much more Couch...

What line goes to what port doesn't mean Jack. The switch test sorts all that out. For fun, run a switch test, and then rearrange the liones and run it again. Now, a far as TIG84's 301: Was this new equipment installed at the same time as the SD? Or had it been in your possession and use for...

Promo's are for NEW SUBSCRIBERS. Since hasher is a "returning" Subscriber, he can't get a promo. 811 and 921 rec.'s are available, but if you really want one, be prepared to sacrifice your left n** to get it. DISH has a severe shortage on the HD equipment, and is reserving what they ahve on...

Sharpie, What kind of signal quality are you getting? Pixilization is a symptom to poor dish allignment (such as shooting through a tree). If you are getting less than an average of 70% on any or all of your satellite signals, call your installer back, cause he didn't do his job properly...

rad, Unless soem scam artist installed an old, used TIVO for you, you have caller ID, you jsut need to go into the setup menu and activate it.

D-5 is a non-multisat compatible model that was part of the multi lingual offering. It's slightly bulkier that an e-1/e-2/e-6. E-1 and e-2 are multisat, e-6 is multisat and multilingual.

Thanks, Ice. DishPro is, IMO, a cosmic joke D* invented to sell new equipment to old customers. The only real advantage I've found in teh documentation regarding DishPro is that it can handle longer cable runs(<=200'), whereas the legacy can only handle up to 150'. Beyond that nice...

Teh 522 and 322 model receivers are a little different from teh older 311 and 508 models in that they require TWO lines coming from the dish to the receiver, whereas the 311/508 only needed one. So, on a new installation the installer will definitely be running new line from the dish to wherever...
