    Dish wifi

    Though I have never tried it, I have always been leery of satellite internet in general. One concern, of course, is the 1 or 2 second round trip delay. If you are a gamer, this is a killer. For the others of us, it is just annoying. More concerning to me is that for Internet (two-way)...

    I thought this would be easier. I have a Dish Pro 500 LNB, which I have used to receive 119. I need to replace it with a Dish Pro Plus 500 LNB, so I can receive both 110 and 119 without an external switch. It should be physically identical for ease of installation. I thought I would just send...
