Yes, all the coax going in to the house available for my use that I will use is RG6. There is a line of 59 that goes in to the attic....however being 59 it got disqualified for use, let alone being really inaccessable. All the inside runs are RG6...I wired 'em myself when I installed my third...

Ahh...this is exactly what I wanted to know. If I don't really need 110 or 119...then i wasn't going to really worry about a 5LNB. If I can get all my HD locals and HD feeds off 99 and 103...that's perfect..I know I've got a great LOS to those spots. IF the 3LNB systems require all 4 coax...

Baha: TBH, I'm not sure just how bad my 119 issue is. I know the last time I had a dish 500 every time the wind would blow anything on 119 would go glitchy....I however didn't make the effort to see if I could adjust the thing for a better signal. I do know about the position it was pointed...

Hey, Well, the mishap with the tree which caused me to remount and realign my 3-lnb dish (which isn't even pointed to pick up 110 or 119 since there's nothing there I need)...and I decided if I'm going to go HD, I want to do it on my own. The installers did a lousy job of mounting the dish...

The "round knob" facing the dish is what's known as an LNB...it converts the high-frequency microwave signal down in to something a bit more managable for use over coax and for amplification purposes...it's a lot easier to amplify a signal at 70mhz than it is at 7000mhz. The old C-Band LNB's...

Yes, I briefly remember a time when all transponders had about the same signal...then spotbeams made a couple go low or disappear...and likewise, spotbeams directed toward me have a better signal than the conus coverage...i suspect some of my 100's are spot-beams directed toward me. i've also...

I had a coax-run for one of my tuners die while I had my R15...it didn't gradually lose signal..it all at once just locked signal. The box behaved as described...it was locked on that tuner regardless of what I did. I had to wind up resetting the box up as a single tuner till I was able to run...

Hey guys. I've been a sat subscriber for about 10 years flopping between dish and directv. had to give up dish when 119 became obscured and got really angry when the directv installers said they wouldn't give us HD because we didn't have a 119 view (this was late may of 07). anyway, sticking...

Back...i don't remember when..sometime in May...i switched from Dishnet to DirecTV because I couldn't get HD with Dish and i wanted HD. well...they came, did the install...said my view for 119 was nil and refused to do HD install (despite the fact the 99.3 switchover was gonna happen)....so...

well then.....i'm just gonna have to fix my E* stuff because as i said, i refuse to have someone install a dish for me..the guy that did this last E* setup did such a horrible job (he broke my gutter then acted like he didn't care) and, as i said, i don't like people messing with my home...

Hi.. I feel I should do a little bit of history..I live in a somewhat rural area...and I live back in the woods...so far in fact the 3 cable companies (and comcast) have refused to install a line to our house because we wouldn't be able to support ANY of thier services (analog or digital)...

a 20' diameter? i'm sure that should be PLENTY. the one thing to consider is you really only need enough clearence for the signal to pass through...and the wavelength of a Ku-band signal is pretty small, 12 GHZ is somewhere around 2.5CM in length. in theory (mind you, i've never offically...

perhaps....but this baiscally means i can't get HD LIL because i can't get 61.5 i mean, i can understand the space issue..but...i feel cheated. I've been somewhat happy with the results...but right now, i'm not very happy with my HDTV purchase. and that one site, it's complete yes...but..i...

umm....we can see 129, my neighbor had c-band..he could pull 148...my problem is i can't see 61.5 because of trees...so, yeah, right now HD was looking like a waste of money because the same trees are preventing me from getting anything OTA, i've watched all the current HD channels..i've seen...

like, i thought i posted this info once..if someone deleted it...WTF? If you know how to surf around Lyngsat, you can find out exactly what channels are on what satellite, and even their SID (Dish Channel) that they're assigned to. http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/dish61_sid.html <-61.5...

I had a slightly similar but bizarre problem with my 625. I currently have 2 lines of my DP 500 Quad LNB going into my DP34. I used to have DirecTV and when i moved some of the equipment upstairs, i used an existing feed of 59 to go from the central point of all my lines up into that room...

ok. that's what i wanted to know. I thought the thing was a DP Plus compatible switch...but i didn't know if i'd need two lines for the additional LNB or not. personally, i'm sill kinda stuck in old school thinking, where you had polarities and an LNB for each. Switches came out and i got...

Hi, Last year when I bought my HDTV unit I was stuck with SD programming because DirecTV wouldn't give me a cheap upgrade. At the time, I had a DVR in addition to two standard receivers, and was not giving my dual-tuner TiVo goodness up. Long story short: Dish gives me a 301, 625 and 811 for...
