    Can't see 110, 119 & 129 from one location - will this work?

    Hi all, We've had a Dish installation at our vacation house for years, with a Dish 500 pointed at 110 & 119, no problem. We finally upgraded our old TV to a nice HDTV set, so added HD channels. I've done a site survey there, and there's no location from which you can see all three birds...

    311 died, new one dies right after activation(?)

    Hi, We have a weekend place that we bring one of our receivers with us from home when we go there (I heard Charlies say on a Charlies Chat years ago that this was OK with them; it's no different than havong one in an RV, really). Anyway, we left one of the 311's in the vacation house when...

    Very bad pixellation on Dish HD channels ...

    see this thread on DBStalk: http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=35457 People have seen it with a 921, 811, and a 6000. I've seen it on my 921 for the past couple of weeks. THE PQ on the HD channels got noticibly worse around the time of the Olympics (especially Discovery HD, where...

    Curious thing about Dishwire on my new 921 ...

    I (finally) received a replacement for my dead 921, after a month's wait. But that's another story, covered on other threads. What I want to report here is that I noticed that, on the new unit, the two Dishwire ports, and the labels underneath them, are covered up by an adhesive foil label...

    Warning: Dish not replacing failed 921's

    BEWARE: Several folks have reported on-line that Dish is unwilling, or unable, to replace failed 921's. Case in point: Mine died several weeks ago. Everytime I call, I am told a delivery date that is two business days after I call; e.g., yesterday I was told it would be the 12th. In...

    Sorry, Virginia, it looks like there really is no Santa ...

    ... at least for those wanting a 921 under the tree. Here it is December 23, Xmas Eve Eve. The current software version number hasn't been updated on the Dish web site. A major online dealer with a large wait list (Dish Depot) is reported to be receiving a grand total of one 921 in...

    Dish vs. JVC -- any difference?

    I assume the Dish 921's and the JVC 921's differ by little more than the nametag, correct?

    'sorry if this info is already posted here somewhere, but what is the latest word on 921 montly fees? I understand it gets lower the more programming you purchase, but does anyone have the fee schedule? 'trying to determine if it makes sense to just go with the AEP.

    Will DP34 work w. only a legacy rcvr (+ DP adptr) connected?

    Well, the title says it: If you put in DishPro LNBF's and DP switches, will it work if you don't have any DP receivers connected, but you do have a legacy receiver with a DP adapter? The DP literature is a little unclear in this regard, saying "a DishPro receiver must always be connected to...
