    What are the odds?

    The installer came yesterday and had to put up a second dish for the HD. I asked him about my tailgating solution and he said he was 99% sure the legacy LNBFs will work with my 211 but was kind enough to give me a spare Dish Pro Plus LNBF from his truck. I will test this week and be ready for...

    What are the odds?

    hmmm Thanks for being patient with a novice here. Your quote above is encouraging but it goes against what the CSR told me last night. Perhaps he misunderstood me? Perhaps I relayed bad info? Perhaps he was just wrong? Maybe and in this case hopefully. Again, according to the CSR, I have...

    What are the odds?

    We might be getting over my head here, but come Saturday I will have a 625 (dual tuner SD DVR) and a 211 (single tuner HD receiver). The CSR told me last night that the legacy setup I have on the auxillary dish will not work with either of these receivers when I tailgate. Is this not correct?

    What are the odds?

    true I should have clarified. The tailgating dish with the legacy is going to be used with either the HD receiver I'm getting on Saturday (just to get a SD picture while tailgating) or the DVR I have in the family room. The CSR said the legacy LNPFs wont work either of those receivers...

    What are the odds?

    As I mentioned in another thread topic, I am trying to assemble an auxillary dish for tailgating purposes. Last week, I went to my sister's house and took down a dish 500 dish that belonged to the former owner (my sis has cable). I was thinking this would be a perfect way to keep the tailgating...

    Tailgating question

    Will a 211 HD receiver and an old Dish 500 dish work? I realize it wont be HD but I'm more interested in just getting a picture.

    Not complaining one bit. My point is they were supposed to send me what I needed. As I mentioned, I only live 3.2 miles from the tower so I dont need something that can pick up Al-Jazeera OTA. I should be able to pick up all I want with something small thanks to my location. As for PBS, I dont...

    How will this thing be plugged into a Dish/DTV receiver?

    I e-mailed WRAL about the free OTA antenna. When I got home today, I had a huge antenna designed for roof mount sitting on my porch. I was expecting a TV top antenna, not this huge thing. Living in Clayton, I can literally look out of my window and see 3/4 of WRAL's tower. Why did they send...
