    What is going to happen to 121?

    Where are people coming up with Dish is doing away with Echo9 121W????? The only thing I've heard of is they are doing away with AMC15 105W which they don't own but lease. Echo9 is owned totally by dish and up until Echo 10 was there newest satellite to lauch. I may eat my words but people need...

    minimum signal strength

    make sure your looking at the right spotbeam. Example : my locals are on spotbeam9 with around 100 signal strength, i can go down to, say, spotbeam 7 thats got a 65 signal. Thats doesn't matter because spotbeam 7 doesn't carry any channels that i get, its got locals from another city thats...

    Tonight & The Rest of the Echostar X Moving Schedule

    Gadsden, AL 110W Here's my readings from Gadsden, AL for 110W using a Dish500 for 110 and 119, Dish300 for 61.5 hooked into DP34 switch going to a 411 receiver. Also, its pretty overcast outside but I don't think its having any effect on the signal 110W TP1 - 104 TP2 - (Spotbeam) 0 TP3 -...

    Tonight & The Rest of the Echostar X Moving Schedule

    Software error???? Thats hilarious!!!! The reason your not getting a signal on TP's 7,13,17 is because those are 8psk transponders instead of QPSK. The 301 doesn't have a chip/tuner that can decode 8PSK signals while the 522 (Broadcom BCM4500) does. Don't worry your not missing any channels on...

    DP 34 switch

    The same why some people say that a DPP 44 switch will work without the power inserter. Sure it might work. But its not made to. What I should have said is that the DPP twin into a DP34 switch will work.... for two weeks or less.

    DP 34 switch

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but a DPP twin will not work with a DP34 switch.

    Any new info on INHD?

    HDNet/HDNet movies has transitioned into a very good couple of channels. When Dish first picked them up I very rarely ever watched them. There programming wasn't very good and they replayed stuff over and over. Here lately they have started carrying some very good content. HD Net movies has some...

    DP 34 switch

    He must have a DP twin because in the original post he said it was hooked to a DP21 switch. A DPP twin won't work with a DP21 or a DP34 switch.

    Primestar score............The 129 Project

    Yeah, I saw those on www.global-cm.net Seems like they would work ok but they are ugly as hell.

    Can't see sat 129

    Your down here in the southeast like me so you will probably be better off with a dish @ 61.5W than @ 129W. You'll get alot better signal strength with 61.5

    Primestar score............The 129 Project

    Primestar used three different types of dishes made by channel master. There are the 75E and 84E elliptical dishes and there is the round 1meter type that you have. The 1.2m white dishes that you came upon as far as I know where never used for by primestar. I have one also. They are mostly used...

    Dish Pro Quad on a 40" x 30" Primestar?

    I took out the skewable 84E dish today I started thinking of some ideas to make this work. I have a feeling that this is going to go good. What ever I come up with I am going to make it look professional and not some hillbilly engineered sh*t. I am going to a machine shop up the road tomarrow to...

    Dish Pro Quad on a 40" x 30" Primestar?

    I have some of those channel master 84E dishes that was once used for some kind of HITS service that came with a two lnb setup and a skew setting on the back of the dish. I have been thinking of making a adjustable bracket for three DP Duals to mount on it. It wouldn't be that hard since the...

    942 Obsolete: Dish Network Ripoff?

    Never understood why they have so many channels of the same thing about remotes and sh*t like that but they can't launch a channel that has important info like upgrades/price changes/new equipment/new channels or channel changes/etc. Doesn't make sense.

    Ceil Announces Alcatel will build Sat. for 129

    I wonder why they haven't released any info on E-11 yet, like where its going to be located and who is constructing and launching it. They tend to release info like this before now. Do you think there will be a move of one of the 110 satellites, Echo 6 or 8, when Echo 10 is put into place? Could...

    What do I need to alter a legacy

    It wouldn't make any difference since its circular polarized but I know what your saying. It would be hard to set it to zero!!!

    942 Obsolete: Dish Network Ripoff?

    Dish needs a special channel that is available to everyone with a dish receiver that lets people know of all the changes being made so that people are aware of stuff like this. It would solve alot of confusion.

    Dish Question

    The T-55 has to have special lnbs to work for DBS circular satellites. Everytime the signal hits a reflector it changes rotation. The T-55 has two reflectors so it changes twice.

    Dish Pro Quad on a 40" x 30" Primestar?

    Probably so. I know that there are alot of european companies that sell dishes with adjustable lnb holders on them. You could pop the plastic shell off a dish pro dual and then the lnb neck would be skinny enough to fit into one of the lnb holders. I took the plastic off a dp dual and put on a...
