    Newbie Install

    Closer Owner just came by and it looks like he got to the install window. He was able to read some transponders 30+ and then got an error message. Said the message told him to do what we already had done. SO, does that mean spend some more time on aiming and maybe be a little more careful? I...

    Newbie Install

    Thanks again All good advice. Thanks I've done all Mike's suggestions. The main problem is me helping. I am not familiar with the DirecTV receivers so could not find the setup screen. My help with Direc is sorta like the blind leading the blind. I thoroughly enjoy the experience though. I...

    Newbie Install

    Ok Ok! The receiver came from the house and was working fine. It is hooked up correctly. Is there a check switch or anything like that with DirecTV? I did get into the menu but could not find the setup area. I'd like to do that again with a remote. There might be clearer menu choices. The...

    I'm trying to help a friend who is, as I am, not at all technical re DirecTV setup so I am info deprived to start with. He has a receiver with model #12-101 on the back of it. He has coax to his crank up round dish. The receiver is set to round dish. He has coax to his TV. The settings for zip...

    Letter from Dish Network (Phone Line Fee)

    Where does it end? You have an entire RV community out there(4 mil +) last count I read, most of who can't hook up a phone line. Dish did/does have an exception for those people but there aren't many at Dish who know what their rule is on the RV exception, including the ceo@ group. THEN you get...

    Come On People! My Rant

    One thing Unless something is changed, Dish will not let you pay yearly when you move to HD. I've paid yearly forever till HD. It's a pain to fiddle with paying each month. Ron

    Horrible installation experience - and it isn't even installed yet

    Well, I had trouble with installers once. I had made arrangements to have my dish moved from a ground install to a roof install. The fellow showed up pretty much on time and began work. He called for help which arrived in about 5 minutes. Another call, another installer. I ended up with 6...

    All American Direct

    Trial I had that for a while. They did send me a letter explaining it was a trial period and would end if I did not call them.

    Not good They turned on ABC for me as part of a promo and the PQ is worse than any SD that I have.

    Dish RV Question

    No phone Brusssam You might check with ceo@echostar.com or get the number for the RV customer service folks and give them a call re your no phone. Dish does not bill for no phone if you live in your RV full time. Ron :cool:

    Dish RV Question

    More I might add that the easiest way is to take one of your 622s with you in the camper. You might not want to call Dish. All customer services reps are not the same. Some will tell you that you have to purchase a 2nd service just for the camper. This is baloney but is hard to overcome some...

    Dish RV Question

    HD tv Since this is my first post I really don't want to step on anyone's toes but all you need to aim to get Dish Sat service is the 119 sat. With the dish 500 and 1000+, you still need to aim the dish at the 119 sat and the 110 and 129 will come in too. You WILL have to set the skew to the...
