    Dish alignment question

    yeah, I roughly aligned it based on where I thought it should point, then tuned it in with my meter. I assume the LNB's are in order, 61.5, 72, 77?

    Dish alignment question

    Had work done on my roof and temporarily removed the dish. Now I'm not pulling in the 77 bird and it appears the other two are not coming in as well as they had before. Something tells me maybe I've got the 61.5 and the 72 bird coming in on the wrong LNB's. Is this possible and maybe I need to...

    622 UHF remote question

    ok, component (rca type RGB) HD. I understand it's probably hard to understand as this is a complex situation, but I had it working just fine with my 612. I guess Dish thougth they were doing me a favor by switching out a 612 with a 622. Here's my situation: 622 is located in the basement...

    Help with 622 remote setup

    Don't know what happened to my last post, but anyway, trying to determine if it's possible to set up the remote such that the UHF can control the HD output. It seems as though it only works with IFR. :(

    Sling Player for Android... 922 support?

    Nobody seems to know about this rebate. I called Dish, they said call slingmedia who also have no clue. Scott says log into your account, go to Dish remote access and go to go mobile. Tried it and can't find "go mobile". Seems like another Dish sketchy way to make money.

    DISH loses 4 more HD channels - 3 Return

    DISH Network offers all customers HD Free for Life, which is possible because we are committed to negotiating fair contracts that allow us to keep our prices low. That is why we could not agree to the significant fees requested by Disney and ESPN Networks for the HD feeds of Disney East, Disney...

    Ahhhh help.... 622 "squish" problem

    success. The Harmony 880 has an "aspect" button, either that, or I must have added it as a custom button. Kinda sucks you can't do it through the receiver menu.... maybe the engineers will think of that in future receivers.

    Ahhhh help.... 622 "squish" problem

    Don't know what my 3 yr old did but my receiver is outputting 1080i in a squished mode. I know it's the receiver, but I can't find a way to unsquish it. Went to menu - 6 (system setup) - 7 (HDTV setup) and changed aspect ratio to 16 x 9 but still in squished mode. Of course customer support...

    Why bother wasting all that time and money. You can probably get an old dish for free and set it up yourself. That's what I did.

    The benefits of proper dish alignment

    my solution: I have tall oaks in my yard, so my dish is 35' high off the top of my chimney, so the only time I get issues is heavy wet sticking snow, so I have an old 18" single lnb I have at ground level pointed at 61.5.
