    DISH Network Retailer Chat Recap - "Hopper Special" - 2/16/2012

    Haven't been active on SatelliteGuys for awhile, been too busy with other life functions. Was reading this thread about the Hopper and Joey, made it through page 39 and then jumped to the last page (52). I see a lot of comments both pro and con, from posters I recognize and some I don't...

    A separate antenna for 118??

    Sounds like he has a Dish 1000.2 with the integrated LNBF, and a Dish 300/500 as a wing dish for 61.5. As Bountykiller said, he should be able to replace the Dish 300/500 with a Dish 500+, and just feed the 118 LNBF into the Dish 1000.2. He will not have to buy a 4 orbital switch (DPP44)...

    Sat 129

    The 1000.2 is a 3 orbital position dish for 110/119/129, with a built-in DishPro Plus compatible switch which includes a sat input for a 4th orbital location using a stand-alone dish. (1) Are you feeding your 1000.2 into an external switch, and if so, what model? (2) What model receiver or...

    Why DISH Is Doing So Poorly (Rant Inside)

    That's about the way I feel. And while they're learning a little German and other languages, teach them a little electronics and wave propagation theory. :) Take care.

    Why DISH Is Doing So Poorly (Rant Inside)

    I agree with you Claude - "I don't know what the big deal is, give DISH your SSN and activate the account! If you don't want to give up all 9 digits, give them the last 4 so they can know who they are dealing with!" However.... A man has got to have principles Therefore, Vegassatellite - Find...

    Dish 500, 2 LNBs Both See Same Sat

    Probably operator error. :) Try putting foil or a heavy cloth over the eye of the 110 LNBF. With your mast plumb in all directions, set your skew, then set your elevation, then look for 119. When you find it, peak the azimuth (east/west) and the elevation (up/down). DO NOT PEAK THE SKEW...

    Addl Receiver Fee

    ??????? You lease 2 receivers and connect to a phone line.... 1st receiver has no lease fee. 2nd receiver has a lease fee of $5, $6 for an HD 2nd receiver has an additional outlet fee $5 that is waived if connected to same phone line as first. So 2nd leased receiver is either $5 or...

    Is my DP 44 Switch bad?

    The DPP44 requires cables that have the center conducter (stringer) longer than most applications. It probably was just making connection when you had signals. Glad the OP got his working.:hatsoff: That said, there are many debates here about the DPP44 working without a Power Inserter, as...

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    That is hard to believe that they updated a web page.:D In the past, whenever you called Dish and questioned them about something, they go to their cheat sheet item number ##, and tell you their web page is not updated. However, I thought all accounts with minimal programming that leased...

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    Just finished reading through this thread and it sounds like RedSavina and many others are paying a "Leased Receiver Fee" on their one and only receiver. Way to go Charlie!:up Also on the fees, I wonder if he is slowly charging $.49 sales tax to all subscribers? :confused: Although not...

    Having a separate Dish HD Forum must be too complicated for many people.

    I still feel strongly both ways. :D I have a 622, but I think I got it. :) - If I want to discuss programming except HD programming, go to Dish Forum. - If I want to discuss HD programming, go to Dish HD Forum. - If I want to discuss the capabilities of my 622 which is a HD receiver, go...

    Is my DP 44 Switch bad?

    And you may also want to try... - Remove the power to all 3 receivers by unplugging each at the electrical outlet. - Remove electric power to the DPP44 Power Inserter. - Wait a few minutes. - Make sure you have the DP Separaters for all 3 receivers correctly connected, i.e., Sat-1 to...

    are DP separators compatible with a DP34 switch??

    I agree it's a good explanation.:) But he'll have to pass on the grand prize do to a typo. Legacy equipment uses 18 Volts for Even; and for Odd uses 13 volts, not 14.:D

    are DP separators compatible with a DP34 switch??

    Aegrotatio & TheKrell Although with DishPro equipment/signals you can not send satellite signals from 2 separate satellites down one cable, you should be able to use a couple of diplexers on the cable and send an OTA signal or a Cable TV signal. :) And if you use 4 diplexers, you should be...

    Superdish LNB questions

    I know you need to make a mod if you try to replace the SuperDish LNBF cluster with a Dish 500+/1000+ LNBF cluster. However, in the past couple of months since the "SuperDish Repoint Kit" has (finally) become available, it mounts without making any modifications; other than having to readjust...

    Hitting 119/129 with one dish?

    With 2 diplexers you could insert a VHF/UHF/Cable signal onto a coax cable with a satellite signal, and then separate the VHF/UHF/Cable signal near the receiver. I think you should be able to pick up a couple of diplexers for less than $15. You're right, the DPP44 is not cheap, but if you were...

    Superdish LNB questions

    Hopefully your DLP44 is a DPP44. Make sure the stringers/center conductors coming out of your RG-6 coax extend past the end of the threads about 1/4 inch. Likewise for the cables going into the receiver ports on the bottom of the DPP44. That will probably solve your problem of the...

    Dish lied to me need help.

    A couple of comments to the above side thread. Earlier, there was a post that showed which states had a one-party and which states had a two-party requirement to be legal without notice. - However, it did not mention any Federal rules which may apply, especially across state lines. - Is...

    Erratic jump to Live TV with 622/722

    I thought many people reported the issue with the 622 several months ago, maybe around L358/L359 or something. However, last week on my 622 while watching The Weather Channel live, I wanted to jump back a couple of seconds to see something that didn't quite register in my brain... So I hit...

    Hitting 119/129 with one dish?

    I'm not sure if you would end up with better signals or not. However, if you are thinking about trying to eliminate some of that 320 feet of cable between the further LNBF and the 722, keep this in mind. Legacy = Legacy DP = DishPro, such as, DP Single LNBF, DP Dual LNBF, DP Twin LNBF, DP34...

    Dish 1000 + switch options

    Now for my 2 senses... The FSS birds should work on any LNBF Input of the DPP44. However, some receivers can not see 4 birds (or even 3), as well as certain satellites. In which case you will need to adjust where the FSS and/or 129 satellites are connected on the DPP44 (and the DP34). To keep...

    Please help setting up

    But we would still like to know what's working? :D Maybe a picture of your Point Dish screen. Hopefully he removed the DP Dual LNBF (or DP Single LNBF) off the Y-Bracket and replaced it with a DishPro Twin LNBF and not have to use a switch, run a single cable between either DP Twin LNBF...
