    Dish Remote Question!

    My point is that the providers pay Dish for placement on the remotes. I don't know how often those selections are updated.

    Dish Satellite Names

    Did 23 replace 10 & 11? Not being on Dish now, I haven't kept up. I went by what my DishPointer app lists, but that could well be out of date.

    Dish Satellite Names

    I don't know which labels your app uses, but the 110 satellites are Echostar 10 & 11, and the 119 sats are Echostar 7 & 14 as I recall.

    Which buttons are used depends on which providers are paying for them.

    Are you sure you have a clear view of both satellites?

    Keep in mind that Starlink is a global service, not just a US service.

    LNB Caps shot

    The 1000.2 reflector is slightly smaller than the 1000.4 reflector,so there may be some slight signal strength loss. A .2 LNB works perfectly with a .4 reflector, but I have not tried one the other way around.

    LNB Caps shot

    As said, the 1000.4 has a long elevation fine tuning rod on the back. A 1000.4 will accept 1000.2 LNB's with a minor modification to the plastic arm adapter.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I have no idea how he'll pull it off, but I wouldn't count Charlie out just yet. He's had an ace up his sleeve more than once.

    What’s keeping you guys with Dish Network…

    O When we were fulltiming and primarily using state and national parks on the east coast, we had usable cell based Internet with either our AT&T or Verizon unlimited data hot spot services using rooftop antennas, and often both, everywhere we went. Now part time, we'll be staying at a couple of...

    How to tell a 1000.4 vs 1000.2 Dish?

    If they don't have the parts, try HD, Lowes, Tru-Value, etc. Amazon might list them too, but I haven't looked.

    How to tell a 1000.4 vs 1000.2 Dish?

    Yep, they're common 1/4-20 thread for the mounting and adjusting bolts. The elevation fine tuning nut is 5/16-20. The various spacers are 1/4" nylon bushings, and the longer carriage bolts for the lower reflector mounting and pole mount also came from Ace, although I'd expect HD and Lowes would...

    How to tell a 1000.4 vs 1000.2 Dish?

    I bought them at a local Ace Hardware store. They were in the loose hardware drawers.

    What’s keeping you guys with Dish Network…

    We still have Dish on hold while we try streaming with YTTV and a few other apps. I have to say though, we've been pleasantly surprised at how easy the transition is going. We continue to find features and short cuts regularly that are making the transition even easier. The true test though...

    Winegard Pathfinder and Two Wallys?

    You could record or watch multiple shows on multiple satellites. Each receiver could record a show on one satellite while you watched a show on another satellite for example.

    How to tell a 1000.4 vs 1000.2 Dish?

    I should have mentioned that I anchored the tripod with either a screw-in dog tie out and a heavy duty bungee cord or a half full 5 gallon pail of water and the bungee cord depending on the circumstances.

    Here's the tripod mod pics: Finished leveler with standard wing nut for locking. Foot modified with a pop-riveted threaded leveling adapter used on furniture. Side view of threaded leveling adapter. 8" carriage bolt with a large wing nut and lock nut. Finished leveler. Washer and nuts...

    How to tell a 1000.4 vs 1000.2 Dish?

    The pictures below show how I equipped one of my .4's for portable use. Note the large wing nuts that replaced the standard hex nuts for a no tools required setup. I'll do another set of pics that show how I modified a standard roof mount tripod for easy setup. A .2 EA LNBF mounted on a .4...

    How to tell a 1000.4 vs 1000.2 Dish?

    The 1000.4 has better tools for fine tuning the aiming than the 1000.2. It's also made with a bit thicker metal that protects it better from damage if it's dropped or blown over. The .4 LNBF adapter can easily be modified to accept .2 LNBF's, and the slightly larger dish can mean a bit stringer...

    18 years and I may cut the cord!

    The problem I ran into with Paramount and Peacock and their local channels, was the number of locations we traveled to where the apps didn't have the locals available. If we couldn't get the locals OTA in those areas either, then that meant dragging out our Dish dish and setting it up even for a...

    18 years and I may cut the cord!

    We are coming up on renewal day for our 30 day YTTV trial. Last night we had a discussion of what problems we each have with going all streaming instead of back to Dish, and decided that the few remaining issues are just learning curve related, and no way worth the $840/year it would cost us to...

    18 years and I may cut the cord!

    Before I signed up with YTTV, I already had a subscription to Discovery+ at $4.99/mo. They carry both the Science Channel and the History Channel. On my Firestick, most of YTTV, Discovery+, and FrndlyTV listings that I also subscribe to at $6.99/mo all show up on the "Live TV" menu. I subscribed...
