- Thanks. - I bought (not rented) a 2nd HD box (9242) from Future shop. It didn't come with the dish, just the box. - As I understand it. They'll only do an install if I'm a new customer with a new set-up?? Am I mistaken? - BTW, my old, non-skewable dish is a relic from my old DiSH Network...

- I live in the GTA, and presently have an 18" circular non-skewable dish aimed at 91. - I want to re-aim this to get HD (91/82). - I've got the y-bracket, 2 x dual LNBFs, and SW44 already. - Do I really need a new dish with skew adjustment, or can my old dish just be re-pointed to 82? - If...

Addendum . . . - I forgot to mention that my "simple" solution also means you don't need to worry about the power inverter, since it's not necessary.

- One simpler solution that you may want to consider. . . (1) Get a dual LNBF for your legacy dish, and run the two lines back to your receiver; (2) Aim dish at 91W satellite; (3) Pick 480i or 480p, and 4x3 or 16x9 (as appropriate for your TV) & then run check switch in the point dish...

- Thanks for the advice guys. - I ended up going into several Bell stores and trying to but their on-display 9242 units. They all said that these units belonged to bell and that they couldn't sell them. - Found a BestBuy near me that had one new 9242 left, but they wouldn't budge off their...

- I've been a month-to-month BEV subscriber for 3 years, so I've satisfied my 2-year contract requirement. - I currently own 2 receivers (4100 & 9200). - I want to purchase a new 9242, but don't really want to pay $599 MSRP. - Is it feasible to cancel my service one day, and re-start again...

- Has the 9200 ever been software upgraded to accept an external USB hard drive as well for increased capacity? - Apologies if this has been previously answered elsewhere in the Forum. Dish Dan

I believe that ExpressVu's $99 NCAA package starts August 31 each year and the price is not pro-rated if you sign-up mid-year. I did not purchase it when I got BEV in December for that reason. So best to start fresh August 31st, which covers you through to the following April, following March...

I need help on another BEV 9200 question: - In the summer, I want to bring my 9200 up to the cottage. - My current dish configuration is a single LNBF, but now I want to be able to utilize the dual-tuner aspects of the 9200. All the my TVs there are SD, not HD. - Can I simply swap in a dual...

- DiSH customer for 10 years. - Switched to ExpressVu when I lost Distant Networks in December. Not interested in locals, just time shifting. - BEV had 50% off hardware, so dual tuner HD box (9200) cost me $299. CDN - No regrets, and cheaper for HD package than DiSH Gold, plus no charge for...

1) When did you lost your distant network? Lost my Distants on Saturday Dec. 2nd PM 2) What state do you reside in? Maine (no locals available until Bangor goes live on DiSH) 3) If you had CBS HD did you lose that as well? Never had it 4) Have you called your senator at...

- I live in northern Maine, and thankfully still have my E&W DNS. - If/when DiSH gets Bangor locals, I presume my DNS will be shut-off?? - The DirectTV site shows me as DNS eligible, except for ABC which I could seek a waiver for (see below): Network Affiliate Channel Status ABC WVII 7...

- I'm holding my breath to see if my Distants will be cut off here in rural Maine. - No locals offered here, so if I lose DNS I'll be forced to "move" or I might go north of the border for Bell ExpressVu, and sell my two DiSH boxes on eBay :-( - I've been with DiSH since 1996, but am very...

- Someone just told me that DiSH is systematically going through their subscriber base and turning off 2nd receivers if they're not plugged in. - I'm a DiSH subscriber since 1997 and have never plugged in either of my receivers. I just pay the $5.99/mo. charge for the 2nd unit. - I was...
