    811 to 722 install tomorrow...

    Well I think I got a pretty good deal, what do you all think. I've been holding out for on a new reciever for far too long. My main HD TV is uses a 811 with the old $10/ month HD package. A Dish CSR called me last week to offer me an upgrade since the MPEG2 stuff is being phased out. I...

    Anybody Else Having This Issue???

    Same problem here! Must be heat related. I'm in Lansing, MI and for the past two days we have been in the upper 90's durring the day. Channels on 119 go in and out with 90% signal strength. As soon as it starts to cool down in the evening, everything is back to normal. I'm using a...

    DISH - Local ABC - Charlotte Problem

    Same here! Thanks for figuring this out. It was driving me crazy. I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. Any ETA on a fix? I'm in Lansing, MI and my local is ABC 53 that is giving me problems.

    wtf kind of LNB is this

    Thanks for the feedback. That was just too weird when I first saw it. I know what I need now. Does type 1 or type 2 really matter all that much? Simon--Thanks for posting the pic, how do you find some of this stuff? Glad you're on our side! :D

    wtf kind of LNB is this

    Ok, here's the deal. I'm going to purchase a second superdish 121. For another location. When I went to look at the LNB's that are on my current SD I can only see 2. All of the ones I see for sale have 3 distinct LNB's. Has any one seen this?

    Super Dish Question

    OK, here is a .jpg of what I think you are telling me I can do. If I'm on the right track, the best thing is all I need is a FSS dish that has dual switched output that opperates like the Legacy Twin 500 LNBF's. Is this right? If so, Iceberg, can you tell me where you got yours or point me...

    Super Dish Question

    I was going to take a 721 over there. It would be nice to be able to record and watch another channel at the same time. So I'm not sure the 2 dish solution will work because the 721 is a dual tuner box. Current setup is a dish 500 twin LNBF, I think the switch is built into the LNBF. I...

    Super Dish Question

    Ok, I know my locals are on 121 now. The super dishes that I saw on ebay were for 105 that must be why they looked different. Does anyone know where I can buy a super dish that has the correct LNB's for 119 110 and 121. Thanks guys!

    Super Dish Question

    Here is my dilemma. I live in Lansing, MI - on my house I have a Super Dish so I can get my locals. We also have a small cottage on Lake Lansing. Well I want to get my locals there too. But I can't seem to figure out what kind of Super Dish I have so that I can buy another one. When I...

    New software

    real fixes If they fix the dark video problem then I have to give dish props! Although, how long did that take. Now I know we have channel 100 now and we should all be happy :D , but has any one tested the "recall" button from OTA to SAT. And what about OTA guide data! I would like to get...

    Got rid of my 811 today

    I would have to agree. My 811 works great. The only problem I ever had with it from the begining was the constant downloading of the guide. But that has stopped since 266 came out. I get all my locals OTA, I had a 49% problem with signal for a while, then I bought a real antenna (channel...

    P267 has arrived

    OTA Guide? I'm not at home so I can't test it but has any one looked to see if they have OTA guide data? But if I had to guess I would think that would be too good to be true. :)

    811 Signal Strength

    just had my 811 installed yesterday morning. seems that the OTA features of the unit are flaky. It's funny, if I leave it sit on a channel it will take 4 or 5 minutes to lock. I watch the signal bounce from 80's to 49, back and fourth. Then all of the sudden after it locks it's fine, no drop...

    the new 811s

    good question My install of an 811 is scheduled for tomorrow. I hear there is a difference in new 811's. But I have no idea how to tell the new ones from the old ones. Any help would be great.
