    Wall Siding Mount Block...where to get...?

    Need to wall mount my dish & looking for the right "block" to mount the Dish to. Any ideas where to find? I think one is made with lap siding cuts already part of the block? Thanks

    Which dual receiver would you BUY...

    Thanks Steelersrule for the reply & breakdown of prices. Before this thread, I did not know there was a difference between RS DishNow card & the GreenDot. Unless I still don't understand, the GreenDot is the ONLY one that will let you do individual days. Just got my 1st one & works great...

    Wide open line of sight on the lake. Looked a little at FTA, still a little confusing for a newbie & need reliability for renters. IF you're talking about "other" methods...please elaborate!!

    How is that Account Stacking? I don't use between two place, no satellite at home only cable. One receiver, one remote, so TV in one room has to watch same channel in other room. Just split the output to two locations.

    Which dual receiver would you BUY...

    Thanks for the heads up!!! I've been using DishNow & feeding 2 TV's off a 301 ..but only 1 station on both sets without locals (they are not available on prepaid). Hard to believe an HD feed into an SD set is a "better" picture?? It's a vacation rental place & thought the 6 mo. free HD would...

    Thanks KAB...just seems illogical...like they want my business, but want me to pay premium gas prices for regular gas because of the type of car I drive. Maybe they are advisors to the new administration :-)

    Which dual receiver would you BUY...

    My problem or dilemma is...I want to get a good receiver with future program upgrade capability, but only do SD for now without any up charges for the better receiver or get the free HD trial & drop without paying a fee for having an HD or DVR capable receiver. I don't think that's...

    Which dual receiver would you BUY...

    If I understood your earlier post that's an additional $17/mo on top of any SD package for services I might not want for a while. Looks like they offer 6 mo. HD trial..so if you drop after trial you have to get other equipment or pay the fee?

    Which dual receiver would you BUY...

    Damn...nickle here...dime there... I'm too cheap I guess. Not sure if it applies to all, but CSR said $5/mo credit for 40 mo. with I believe a 622. If they will do it for a 322 night just do that for now.

    Which dual receiver would you BUY...

    Confused...if I OWN an HD or HD-DVR & only want bronze 100 without HD or DVR I can't do it?? No satellite at home (yet) so can't "relocate" a receiver. Both places would share the same stations including locals.

    Which dual receiver would you BUY...

    If I can get one cheap enough, might take chances on warranty or maybe find a refurb deal with warranty. Receiver & card number....excellent info. too.

    Which dual receiver would you BUY...

    Appears if I want to get E* for my vacation place & only use 6-8 months, the CSR said would be best to buy a receiver, then can do a no contract package & suspend for unused time for $5 maintenance fee. I have (2) standard TV's now, but may upgrade (1) to HD later. 1) Which receiver would you...

    First time Sat. customer, confused, need equipment/install advice before ordering.

    That's what I was wondering. Having to send back the "upgraded" equipment if I don't keep the programing, changes my options....bummer. Was hoping to have the better receiver as a new customer & not have equipment changes if I want to increase programing in the future. Good to know I can...

    First time Sat. customer, confused, need equipment/install advice before ordering.

    Thanks robx64 for the detailed response. The "downgrade" I was referring to is in programing not equipment. Confusing me is the current "Choice" pkg. which says free HD or DVR upgrade. So, the give you an equipment upgrade but no HD or DVR service....right? Even after the $10/24mo/AAA &...

    Dish Network Prepaid Question

    I think I'm hosed...??? Just stumbled onto this thread today & was unaware of the SmartCard change. Have a rental property with 1st renters of Summer season arriving April 4. Called CS (800-333-3474) for card exchange. The rep was very nice & helpful but said it would take 30-45 days to get...

    DishNow self-install help needed...

    Thanks for all the suggestions for my Dish problem. After running RG6 & new 3ghz couplings the problem remained. Managed to get my hands on a "suggested" Legacy Twin & SHAZAAM everything working fine, the DP Twin was bad. Hard for a newbie with no access to alternate hardware, but happy...

    DishNow self-install help needed...

    System still not receiving properly. Straight run RG6 from satellite to receiver w/ (1) new 3ghz coupling & only getting 119/ODD & 110/ODD. Last weekend was 119&110 ALL but missing some even (low 2,4,6,8...) transponders. Signal strength was a little lower also, but still 105 for both sats...

    DishNow self-install help needed...

    If you look at the 3ghz F81 couplings on DishStore.net (affiliated with this site I think) they do not have blue core. I hope it's just a 1ghz coupling in the line & that the new 3ghz will fix, but I'm thinking a receiver or LNB problem is more likely. Got it from a " going out of business"...

    DishNow self-install help needed...

    I will try the s110/tp2 this weekend. Can I leave the system hooked to the 110 side if it holds a signal & still get 119? What if the s110/tp2 does not fluctuate wildly....what would that indicate? What is the difference between the blue & green coupling? I read somewhere while shopping...

    I did a search online for Satellite TV Rated Coax Couplings different ways with no success. Any idea where to find the blue couplings & plates? Specific search text? Are they "directional"?
