    Can DishNetwork do this?

    Exact same thing is going on here in Central Missouri. Our local CBS affiliate and Dish haven't been able to come to an agreement, so the Program Guide shows "Important Info" , but I can still see the channel via OTA. We're slated to receive local HDs through Dish sometime this summer...wonder...

    Well, we've had some luck...but not with the STL stations. I haven't found ANYTHING explaining how to swap a 119/118.7 LNB for the 119 on a 1000.2. Until I come across some documentation, I've decided to go another direction. My friend decided to just stay with our locals and hope that our...

    Very correct. We'd have to have a helluva an OTA antenna to get signal from 95+ miles away. We both get our true locals via OTA right now. The big issue is that our Fox station has been struggling with the FCC for the past year and a half trying to get licensure. They are a very low powered...

    I'll check this evening once I get home...thank for doing the legwork to verify that I can tell the switch type. I'm really thinking that I have a DPP44 since my check switch screen shows a 4th port with no information (which is shouldn't have since I only have 3 LNBs). I'll have to take a...

    I wasn't sure whether I could do that, even though that was what I was wanting to do. So I theoretically should be able to take the 119 LNB off and replace it with the 119/118 LNB and be good to go, right? I'm familiar with a switch. Problem is, I can't look at the physical switch...it's on...

    So I can just buy the 1000+ LNB and mount it to the arm of my 1000? How do I verify that I have the DPP44 switch? Will this show up in the system info page? Would having the 4th port showing up on the check switch without info available be an indicator that I have the DPP44? I just went to...

    What is the difference between the 1000 and the 1000+? Can you add an additional LNB to the 1000? I know (and this probably doesn't make any difference) that when I go do a check switch on my satellite (same town, VIP211, Dish 1000) it shows the same three satellites as well as an "N/A" or...

    A friend just "moved" from Jefferson City, MO (65101) to St. Louis (63108) to get the local HDs out of the STL area. He has a Dish 1000 pointed at 110, 119, and 129. He checked to see if his dish could get the satellite that is sending the signal (118) by changing the satellite at the Point...
