Currently, I've got a hybrid setup with EA + 119 (HD locals are on 119, I have no LOS to 129 from anywhere on my property b/c of trees in neighbors yards). I'm having some overseas family come into town for an extended stay, and was wondering if there was a way to add a 118 LNB to my current...

I am one of the "few" users who have a mixed arc setup. Not wanting to miss out on the new HD, I am stuck between somewhat of a rock and a hard place. I have excellent LOS to the Eastern Arc. Unfortunately, my locals are on 110. There's really no place to setup a single dish to pick up...

I have been with DISH now for almost 2 years, and have been very happy with the service up until now. My first DVR died about a year ago, but they promptly sent me a new one. Recently, my latest unit died (just before football season started!!!), and the replacement they shipped me was...

I have a two dish setup at home, one a dish 500 pointing at 110/119, and the other dish pointing at 61.5. I decided to use a larger dish for the 61.5 location, and I purchased a 90cm dish. However, it did not come with a LNB bracket. I was able to shoehorn it on there, but I am not really...

I have a VIP 722 at the house and have been happy with its performance until recently. I had one 722 that went bad, and this is the 2nd one that I have had. I am afraid that this one might be dying too. Here are the symptoms: Accessing the menus on the system takes an inordinate amount...

I know this should be a question for an FAQ or something, but I searched the site and couldn't find anything that quickly answered my question. How much does it cost to add an additional receiver to an account? It's a 311 receiver, and I own it. (from eBay) I want a unit that I can take...

So I finally got Dish network installed Tuesday. A few months ago, the Dish techs came out twice to tell me there was no LOS to the 129 satellite due to a tree that is in my neighbor's yard. At the time, I asked them about the possibility of installing 2 dishes to get the programming from...

When I signed up for Dish, I was told by the sales rep that the multi-sport package was available with the America's Top 100 w/ DVR advantage. When they came to install yesterday, everything was set up fine, but I don't see the Regional Sports Networks listed in my program guide. What is the...

First off, thanks to everyone on this forum for me getting this far! I could not have done it without all of your excellent help and responses to a newbie like me. I succeeded in getting Dish where the installer told me it wouldn't work. I now have a Dish 500 pointing at 110/119, and...

I'm preparing for a DIY Dish Network install. I have a question about the skew settings for a Dish 500. The skew settings on Dish's website show the settings for a Dish 500+, but not for a Dish 500. Are the settings the same?

DishPro DP34 Switch I have a DishPro DP34 switch that I have no need for. I mistakenly purchased it on eBay, and would like it to go to someone that wants/needs one. I'm asking for $10, plus shipping.

How do you mount a DishPro LNB to a non-Dish Network satellite dish? Like one of the Fortec Star dishes.

What is the difference in gain of a Dish 500 and a Dish 1000? Is a Dish 1000 a huge improvement over the Dish 500?

What is the minimum setup needed to make sure you have a dish pointed correctly? I bought a cheap Echostar receiver on Ebay (MPEG2 only). If I install a dish and point it at the satellite correctly, is there a "You are looking at [some satellite]" channel to make sure I can get a picture?

The Dish installer came out to my house today and said that I cannot get HD because I don't have a clear view of 129. He said he thought that I could get SD fairly well, but that there were too many trees in my neighbor's yard to get a good signal on 129. My question is, can I put a dish on...

I am going to be a new Dish subscriber, and was wondering if anyone had a ClubDish activation number.

I think my dish may be misaligned. Thanks to the help of a bunch of folks on this forum, I got a big dish system working. Unfortunately, it's not really working well... I was able to find 87W, 93W, 95W, 97W, and 99W. I can't see anything to the west of 99W though. The system is analog...

At the place where I work we have an old C Band satellite system, which lost the arc during a bad windstorm. I was trying to reprogram the receiver, and the instructions said to move it East until I got a "No Return Pulse" signal, which I did. Then it said to move it West a bit, and set that...

Where I work, there used to be a big dish setup. According to a guy who worked here then, some time ago, a wind storm messed something up. The original tech who oversaw the installation of the satellite dish is long gone. It hasn't been used in probably 3 or 4 years. What do I need to look...
