Doug, I recently got an I-adaptor for my Dish 500. Yes, it consists of a top half and a bottom half. Don't worry; it bolts together nicely with the Dish 500.

Dishrich is right. But if you LIKE to experiment and do things the hard way :rolleyes: , you could get 110, 119 and 129 by, in essence, turning your Superdish into a homemade Dish 1000. Only try this if you can fabricate the necessary LNB holders and brackets. Let the LNB for 119 be at the...

all4jo, if you use a Dish 500, it's best remove the y-bracket and replace it with an I-bracket.....and use a DP single or dual. That puts the LNB in the center (best focus position). If you do that, then you can aim the dish 500 by using the "Dish 300" azimuth and elevation numbers provided by...

My 811 developed this problem about two weeks ago. I susupect that it's a bug in the new software. I discovered that I can get the picture back if I use the guide. Just use the guide to tune in the program, and you'll get a picture. My guide is configured to provide a small window to view...

rdinkel, just so as to not confuse anyone...if anybody wants to receive 61.5 (or any other single satellite) by using a Dish 500, then he should replace the Y-bracket with an I-bracket, so that the LNB will be at the prime focus (the postion of tightest focus). Using a Dish 500 with an...

joeh, by now you've probably already fixed the problem, but I'll still give my opinion. It has already worked, as is, for over a year without problem. I admit it should have been installed better, but if I were you, I'd just leave it like it is and simply protect it from the rain. You could...

Those of you with FTA/ Ku capability, the Boeing site says Wednesday's launch will be televised on AMC-1 at 103 degrees West longitude, on digital Ku-band transponder: K 18 Upper 18 Mhz, Downlink Frequency: 12069 MHz Vertical, Data Rate: 18.295848, C: 3 / 4, sybol Rate: 13.235294, Tiernan...

The sea-launch website says that the launch will be televised on Dishnetwork channel 101. The Boeing site says that the launch will also be broadcast here: Day of Air: Sunday, February 12, 2006 Time: 1745 - 2100 ET apx 30 Schedule: 1745 - 1815 ET = TEST WINDOW ( 2:45p - 3:15p PT)...

Good to hear that the $200 rebate applies to "current HD cutomers". I am one, I own a 811. I guess I'll wait until April to order my 622 and new HD package, so that I'll get the rebate. It makes good economic sense for Echostar to pay some of their HD customers to wait until April. Echostar...

Just got off the phone with a CSR, talking with him about swapping my 811 for a 622. He told me that, if I wait until April 1, I can get a $200 rebate, (effectively making my upgrade cost me $100 instead of $300). I guess I'll wait, but this 811 sure does suck. (OTA tuner hangs and causes...

I hope your new dish is a Dish 300. If so, then you can easily find the correct azimuth and elevation numbers for 61.5 from your receiver's installation menu. But I'll go ahead and give you the numbers (based on your zip code). They are: Azimuth 148 Elevation 36 But if the new dish...

I'm new to satelliteguys and this forum. What a great place this is! Many thanks to larrystotler. I followed his advice, and now I'm getting my locals on 105 by using a Primestar dish and the original Primestar lnbf. I was lucky that my locals are on transponder 11 (a vertically polarized...

NewAlbanyDish, I hope that by now your problem has been solved. But if it hasn't, then I'd be happy to help you in any way I can. I happen to live in the New Albany, MS area. You can contact me by e-mail via my e-mail link on this site. But maybe you're in the "other" New Albany (New Albany...

Thanks, The Tate. I live west of N.A. I'm self-employed in a field unrelated to satellite TV, but I've subscribed to Dishnetwork for many years, and I try to keep up with their technology. I have a Superdish 105 and a 811 receiver. The 811 tunes in WCBI 4's OTA HD signal well, and some...

Agent007, for the best reception of 61.5 using a Dish 500, replace its "Y" bracket with an "I" bracket (available at Sadoun, advertised above). Using an "I" bracket puts the LNBF at the prime focus, resulting in stronger signal strength. Also it eliminates the need for skewing and allows you...
