    Dish 622 "E" series running cooler

    heat & the 622 Shaggy.... The laptop cooler is a great idea. Also, the 622 sucks in cool air from the right, and blows out warm air on the left. So you can place your fans accordingly. Be carful not to suck air out where cool air goes in, and don't blow the warm air back into the...

    Dish 622 "E" series running cooler

    fun with fans I like it. Great idea. I have found that noise levels of 32dBA and above is just way too loud (when installed inside the 622 with the cover on). And I am hard of hearing! So when I look at fans for the 622, I am looking for a much lower noise figure. When I installed my first...

    finding that pesky 129 bird Out west where I am, I am looking at an elevation of 37.2 degrees. As I was planing to do a self install, I bought a Channel Master model 10081FD. It looks like that was a good idea. I am going to fire it up and use it today. Thanks for the help dodge. mraroid

    All except 129 LNBF working; Why?

    finding that pesky 129 bird Folks.... Thanks so much for the help and many tips. Here in the Pacific North West where I live, the local contract installers often find that the 129 LNBF will not work well, if at all, in the D1000 dish. Some folks get lucky, but most are unhappy. So the...

    hard drive & other 622 mods Sorry. I would have broken that "warranty" sticker, but I keep thinking that a software update will kill my HDMI connector. If that happens I want to return it and have DN give me a new unit. I have decided to buy my 622, not lease it. So after a year, when...

    FIRST LOOK: Dish 500+ Dish 1000+ and the Dish 1000.2!

    I will be using the VIP 622. Is the bird at 118.7KU a future bird not in use at this time? I live where it snows and rains all the time. Is the best choise for a dish for DN the Dish 1000 plus? I wanted to get a dish slightly larger that might have more gain during bad weather. Thoughts?
