Assuming you're talking about a single-LNB with 2 outputs, aka a DirecTV "basic" dish pointed at the 101 sat, then, yes, absolutely. Folks do it all the time.

Were I in this situation, I'd run a temporary wired phoneline to the nearest outlet to the receiver to test. Performance with wireless phone jacks has always been hit & miss, and the fact that both Dishcomm and the wireless phone jacks are having problems tells me that your power lines have...

Dish does not allow their "Duo" receivers to be used for pre-paid service. You're pretty much limited to a single 301, unless you plan to pay double for service to a pair of 301s. Since it's just you, it would be easier to use a splitter on the output of the 301 so that you can feed the signal...

Professionals DO offer that. Just not for free, and FREE is what 99.9% of Dish customers are looking for, and thus what Dish has to design for.

That's not why. The reason why is because if the TV2 had HD outputs, a ton of customers would INSIST that Dish find a way to connect their TV2 in HD as part of the free install. Just try to imagine what that might involve, and then, let me tell you from an installer's point of view that it's...

The 300 will be plenty.

I'm sure this is exactly the issue. Partners with working agreements aren't going to be happy if one of them is publically blaming issues on the other. As customers, folks want the information, but public companies rarely release anything but good news unless they are otherwise required.

No, the 222/222k does not have software to turn it into a DVR or use an EHD in any way. IMO, it's unlikely that this will ever be an option, due to the throughput limitations of the USB interface. The 211s are okay with a single tuner, but recording dual tuners while watching a third likely...

So let's be clear: the StealthRay is a Ku-band, receive-only satellite antenna that ALSO has 2-way WiFi capabilities. That's why it's only $3,500. An actual 2-way mobile satellite antenna (i.e., it can SEND information TO the satellites, as well as receive) is going to be $100,000 or more...

At 345', you're definitely going to have big problems with voltage loss. The voltage from the receivers isn't going to be high enough to run the LNB/switch at that length. To go that far, you'd need some solid-copper RG11, and once you find out what that's going to cost, you'll probably decide...

Call Dish and ask about the Discontinued Receiver Upgrade. They should upgrade you to a 211.

Running a Check Switch causes the receiver to scan the switch/LNB configuration and stores those settings so that the receiver knows where to find the signals it needs. EVERY TIME you change anything to do with your LNB/switch, you must re-run Check Switch to reconfigure the receiver for the...

If you have wet, heavy snow, or ice build-up on your dish (even small amounts), you will lose signal. Warm (not hot) water in a Super-soaker can fix this right up. If you live somewhere that normally has heavy winter storms, a dish heater is a wise investment.

Dish is moving to a new version of their encryption system (Nagravision v2 to Nagra v3) in an effort to stop signal piracy. This requires new smart cards for all active receivers, except for the very newest models, which will already have a 3rd-Gen card built-in. The new cards you receive will...

Just to be clear, a SWM8 only feeds 8 tuners, and you must use a legacy (non-SWM-LNB) dish to feed it. However, you can use a single dish to feed multiple SWM8 switches (I'd limit it to 4 without extra signal amplification). You simply use sat-rated (5-2,250 MHz-rated) power-passing splitters...

Definitely won't work. 4 orbitals = DPP44 switch.

While Component cables *can* pass 1080p, very, very few consumer devices output 1080p via component, and very, very few displays accept 1080p via component, so, for all intents and purposes, the effective limit of component as used by CE manufacturers is 1080/60i. Also, at some point in the...

IIRC, 119 will be replaced mid 2010, and 61.5 at the end of 2010 per the current contract information. Dish just signed the contract to build the new 61.5 sat. The antenna plot is going to make OTA pretty easy, as it looks like a full compliment of OTA stations are all available in the...

Are you considered an "Eastern Arc" location? If so, that's probably why: all new installs in EA locations are supposed to be EA only, which means ViP receivers. We still put in lots of SD equipment in California.

The big problem is that flat cables were never intended to be installed on sliding glass patio doors. They were designed for windows or the hinge-side of a door, where wear and damage to the flat cable will be minimal. Virtually 100% of customers who have a flat cable in their patio door will...

Dren covered things pretty well. A Dish MRU setup would not be at all cost-effective with only 7 units. You'd need a single building with 50 or more units to even think about that. With only 7, you're doing simple antenna consolidation, which is exactly what makes sense. As Dren states...

Actually, the proper order should be: 1 - 119 2 - 110 3 - 121/129/118/148/61.5/etc. 119 is Dish's "primary" sat and should be on port 1. Note that all of the multi-LNBs have 119 as port 1, except the 1000.4 which uses 61.5 as port 1.

2-way communication is only going to be possible on the "k" receivers, as the non-k receivers don't have an IR emitter to "talk" to the remote, just an IR receiver. No amount of software is going to change that.
