    NFLHD only for new 'metal' package subscribers?

    Not really I had NFLHD for the entire 2005-06 season and it was on 9464, sat 110. So if it was a preview then it was a pretty long one! To move it to another satellite and make it inaccessible with a customers existing hardware is not acceptable. Ever since my dish got stolen I have been...

    NFLHD only for new 'metal' package subscribers?

    I have been a Dish subscriber with a 942 dvr for more than 2yrs with top120 & the old $9.99 HD pack. I used to have two dishes but the one pointing towards 61.5 got stolen. Since I did not watch international programming anymore I did not bother to replace it. I just discovered that the NFLHD...

    One of 2 dishes got stolen. Do I still need a multi-switch?

    I would sell it if it was mine :) I'll return it to my friend, since I separated it from his spare dish500. I did read something about first pointing it at one of the sats and then going from there. I'll try it out when I get the DPPlus twin. Btw, I bought it from the ebay seller.

    One of 2 dishes got stolen. Do I still need a multi-switch?

    Thanks RandallA. Is there a guide to how to orient a dish for 119/110 somewhere online? Can I do it with the receiver and the azimuth/elevation or do I need some other hardware? The pdf link was useful to understand how to hook it up.

    One of 2 dishes got stolen. Do I still need a multi-switch?

    It probably was option2. Huh...the free DishPro twin is no use then. I am looking at $49+shipping for a DDPlus :( How difficult is to orient a dish towards the 110/119 satellites? I am planning to turn the 61.5 dish after I replace the LNB to save myself some trouble.

    One of 2 dishes got stolen. Do I still need a multi-switch?

    Well, when I had the 2 dish setup, I remember it being combined with a multi-switch but it definitely wasn't the dp44. I just looked at the switch online and it looks big & is quite expensive. Hmm...maybe I was wrong about my old setup &the 110/119 satellite had a DPPlus Twin LNB. In that case...

    Called to get 622; received it in 48 hours! Question...

    Wow. I was told that it is taking 30 days from the order date for the 622 to be delivered. I decided not to order because of that. Is this normal to get it that fast or did he just get really lucky?

    One of 2 dishes got stolen. Do I still need a multi-switch?

    I got lucky and found a friend with a spare dish500 with twin LNBF. Problem is I have a Dishplus separator splitting the single cable to the 942 inputs. How do I hook up a Dishpro twin LNBF to a DPPlus separator? Is there a cheap multi-switch I can buy at a local retailer? Also, I will be...

    One of 2 dishes got stolen. Do I still need a multi-switch?

    Harold, I would like to install it myself but since its an apartment I am limited to where I can mount it. Both the dishes were mounted on poles buried just outside my patio with tripod supports. I would rather not dig & install another one now. So I would like to use the 61.5 dish which is...

    One of 2 dishes got stolen. Do I still need a multi-switch?

    I called local retailers. I am looking at atleast $200 for dish & labor. I am thinking of 2 options both involving ebay. - Replace the dish500 with dual lnb's. What switch would I need then? Or can I eliminate the switch if I don't want to hook up the 61.5 satellite...

    One of 2 dishes got stolen. Do I still need a multi-switch?

    I just realized after coming home that the case is reversed. The dish stolen was pointed at 110 & 119. I have only one receiver, a 942. It looks like I am stuck with replacing this Dish at full cost now :( Is there any hope of getting a used Dish500 with 2 LNBs?

    One of 2 dishes got stolen. Do I still need a multi-switch?

    I had a dish network setup with 2 dishes, one pointing at SW with a single LNB and another pointing SE with 2 LNBs. The first dish got stolen along with the multi-switch during the weekend. From what I remember the stolen dish would've pointed at 61.5 pulling in some locals & CBS HD. I only...

    Voom OTA antenna type

    dragon002 Last time I checked they had the really large multi-element CM antennas. Do you know of local B&M stores selling the platinum HD series or even the square shooter? Also, what is the difference between a pre-amplifier and amplifier for antenna use? Is one better than the other?

    Voom OTA antenna type

    I finally went up and checked the antenna & from below I see a mark saying "amplified". Also, the power supply says power injector which leads me to believe I have the amplified version. I am unable to tune the VHF channel and 1 or 2 UHF since the last 2 days. I need a more powerful antenna now.

    Voom OTA antenna type

    Both the models look the same from the photo. I would guess that the power supply differentiates it. Do you know where the supply would be hooked up? External attached to the pole or inside near the connection to a tuner? I read on this forum that a power supply PS-9370 can be used to amplify...

    Voom OTA antenna type

    dragon002, Voom installed a Winegard antenna for me which I continue to use with Dish Network now. But I am not sure if it is the amplified or non-amplified version. How do I find out which one I have? FYI, I have no power source connected to the antenna outside, but he did give me a amplifier...

    Please suggest best deal & receiver(s) for new customer

    I am currently a Voom customer so I already have a pole with local antenna combined with the Voom dish. The intl channel I would be subscribing to is SUN TV which is on 61.5(E*3) and 148(E*1). This is local channel which will require a 2nd dish in my area. Seeing that it is in the 148...

    Please suggest best deal & receiver(s) for new customer

    I checked online for ordering and on one of the pages I get an option of ordering a 2nd dish to receive local channels in my area(actually, just 1 channel - all others can be picked up by 1st satellite). This dish needs to be pointed at a different direction. Is this the same orientation which...

    Please suggest best deal & receiver(s) for new customer

    Can I get both the 811 & 522 free as a new customer on the DHA plan? I assume the dvr would cost $5 extra p.m. I really wish I could have 1 box like the 942 but this initial cost & the 921 bugs makes me wary of such new hardware. Even Voom had many issue but they had most ironed out by them time...

    Please suggest best deal & receiver(s) for new customer

    Thanks for the response. How exactly is the signal sent to the other room? The 942 brochure says Dish uses in-wall coaxial wiring. My apartment has tied up with SBC/Directv to offer programming through the coax cables in place. Does this mean I can't use the 522? Also, what exactly is an...

    Please suggest best deal & receiver(s) for new customer

    I am currently a Voom customer and I would like to move to Dish now. I need both HD receiver for my DLP & a dvr for the bedroom. In addition, I would like to be able to view the dvr recorded programs on my DLP (in the living room) too. I have looked through Dish's various receivers and I can't...

    Unofficial: Current Customer Promo on Dec. 1st

    FWIW, I just talked to a VOOM csr and enquired about the addtl receiver deal for current customers. She said that adding a new receiver would cause my basic package to go up to 49.95 from the current 39.95 but at the same time receiver rental would drop to $5 from $9.50. So I am looking at...
