Will either arc give an advantage in regards to signal strength against rain fade?

I'm in the Nashville DMA, and certainly like it more than the Memphis area.

Quick question guys. I live about halfway between Nashville and Memphis, and get the Nashville local networks. I have a clear view of both the eastern and western arc views. All things considered, which antenna should I push to get, in terms of signal strength against rain fade and stuff? Please...

At 3 am every morning, my 622 goes into what I guess is it's "daily download" for program guide/software updates and stuff. This is no big deal, I read about it on other forums on this site. The weird thing is this, the fan that comes on is really loud. In fact, sometimes it actually wakes me...

Thanks guys for all your help

I'm wiring my dads new home, and I'm to the point of running some RG-6QS from where the dish will be mounted to where the reciever will be. Will a single run of RG-6QS to the wall plate where the 722 will be be acceptable? From what I can gather online, a single run to the wallplate is ok. Is...

The best place I have to mount my eastern arc dish is about 200 to 225 feet from the receivers in the home. I don't really have any other realistic options for mounting the antenna. Is this length going to be a problem? Is there a line amplifier of some sort that can be used if it is an issue? I...

I have a DVR 510. I just turned it on and it said there was another "free upgrade" I downloaded it, but can tell no difference. Does anyone know what this upgrade was for?

Yup, My 510 does the same. Just another software bug from Dish.

I'm not into stocks, but... I'm all into getting what xm and sirius both have to offer (I've got sirius), but what scares me is what happens if there is no competition. If in the US, there is only one satellite radio network, what will keep prices competetive? (if there is no competition). Just...

I know getting Canadian sat via broker is a gray area, But does anyone know any legal precedent on the subject. I know it's a bad analogy, but I knew some folks hacking directv years ago, and are they ever sorry now. I'd like to get BEV from a broker, but I'm concerned I may be setting myself...

A Friend gave me a Phase 3 Directv dish antenna. Is it at all compatible with dish ? (I've got a 301 reciever) If it'll work, I'll try it at my RV to use on weekends. Thanks

This may have been addressed earlier, but i could not find it. Can an in-line (I think they are called bullet amplifiers) be used on remote runs when a dp34 or dpp44 will be used? The reason I ask is that i only want one dish site, But i've got a shop a good 200 ft from the house (which is 75...

When doing a check switch function, the display has always shown satellite reception verified. But the signal still kept messing up. What's Wierd though is the problem only happens during the heat of the day (around 100 today) at night it has been ok. This is really freaking me out. Do ya'll...

still no good, rebooted both recievers too. All gear is dishpro series.

I think my lnb may be failing. I'm losing signal at both recievers on both 119 and 110. The signal strength meter goes fron 0 to over 100 sporatically at both satellites. The dish was professionally installed and until recently no problems. Went out and looked at dish it's sturdy, nothing loose...

Two questions. #1 Will dielectric grease help against signal loss at connections or will it only help to waterproof? #2 How much grease do you guys reccomend using on exterior fittings? (just a little, or goop it on) Thanks guys.

Just got home last night, turned on reciever and hard drive made all kinds of loud (really loud) noise. The screen just kepy going through default checks, but never a picture, then the screen goes blue, then black. I'm fairly sure the hard drive died. Gave up with csr after a millenia of hold...

When I was younger, My uncle had both a c and ku band sat. receiver. I really used to enjoy the network feeds to the affiliates, and other network signals and uplinks. I'm about to have some open yardspace, and I'm thinking of playing with FTA (shortwave radio has become boring/ dead) and I was...

Does anyone know how much Dish Mover service costs? Trying to decide if I should take my dish, or let them put up a new one at new apt.

I've read where a Dish pro switch ( like a dp34 or 44) cannot be used with legacy equipment. I was wondering if a dish 300 or an aftermarket larger antenna (winegard) with a dish lnb could be connected to a dp 34 or 44 without problems. Thanks

I potentially have access to a couple of 30" dishes and if I get them, I'm thinking of installing them to eliminate rainfade and I've got the space. I heard you can actually install a dish that is TOO BIG? Because there are multiple satellites at 110, 119, etc, you can actually focus too much on...

Has anyone tried those boxes/covers (belden might make then, maybe leviton??) that have modular pop in sections that can hold rg-6, phone, or speaker plugs? I think they hold up to 8 "modules" (I think they are called) thanks.

Can I use a seperator with my dp34 switch to a dual tuner reciever. I'm starting to rewire on my house remodelling, and will have a dp 34 with 110, 110 and 129 inputs. Just want to run one in wall rg-6 to room, the use a seperator instead of two runs from the dp34 into the room. Basically...

Any reccomendations for what brands are best for a larger antenna: Fortec, Winegard, others?
