Still no Denver HD (129 TP 4 spot) Update 03:00MDT Denver locals back online! :)

Sent via PM - and Hey There dfergie!

Thought you were younger than me. ;) FB is only scary if you surf naked and pet sharks - and I gotta tell ya, millions are that dumb. Doc and Joel are over there with me also beating sense into certain types of idiots. ;)

EDDIE! Dang man! You were early to the "good fight" - now that we're over on Facebook, I've missed your thoughts!

Hi guys! Been a LONG time. I saw a post from someone about timers not switching over from HD to SD. That's not quite right. Possibly depending on receiver model (622 here), and channel number (use the low ones), it WILL switch, but you might have to reboot the box. I am in the old habit...

There's 3 reasons for that: Bandwidth, bandwidth, and, um, oh yeah - bandwidth. If the providers didn't have to carry 714,629 copies of the SAME programming just to satisfy local pocketbooks (they've got to get their 3 minutes per hour of local ads in), we would have HD everything. :mad:

Hi guys! Been a long time since I've been around, but that's because my 622s run great - until now. One of them has decided to not display anything if I switch my monitor (a Dell LCD) from DVI (hooked to Dish HDMI out via an adapter) to VGA and back again. If I pull the DVI cable or...

The SuperDish should work quite well when pointing the 110 LNB at 129. The outrigger LNB can be sold or shelved - it's quite useful.

Tell ya what, John, I'll build a DPP46 for you. ;) It's going to cost you $350 plus shipping. Ah heck - tell ya what, I'll throw in 2 extra output ports for free! :D

Good job SmityWhity! You've got it down pat! In short, set the skew per the book or receiver (making sure it's right - there's known errors in the D1000 book). Make sure you've got clear view for 5 degrees azimuth each side of "center" (it doesn't need that much, but compasses and eyeballs...

I wonder why you didn't just get your aiming numbers out of your receiver - it's right there on the same screen as the signal strength. Oh - and when eyeballing for LOS, remember that the dish has a 22 degree offset. That is, it appers to be looking much lower than it really is.

Pausing or holding an account will cause a local retailer to lose money, so do this through Dish directly, and make dang sure you get it IN WRITING (good luck!) that you can suspend your service without paying a cancellastion fee.

Just another thread that says: Get your Dish from a GOOD local guy!

ROFLMAO! Hopefully no one else will get that, or it'll have to be deleted. :D

I must STRIDENTLY disagree! While MANY (even most) installers can be pretty bad, I am NOT one of them. :cool:

Unh. Maybe, but it's just going to be a lot of trouble. LNBs and pans (D* or E*) just aren't that expensive most of the time. Maybe you can make a swap deal with someone. I know I wouldn't have a problem giving someone a D500 with a Twin in trade for a Phase III (maybe plus $10 for the trouble).

Don't count on it being available for much longer - if it still is even now.

The TV channel being used by the TV2 output should NOT be an issue. A standard diplexer will NOT pass the cable internet frequencies on the SAT side. SAT is 950-2150MHz (or higher). "TV" is below 950 (but some diplexers will NOT handle the very low (40MHz) range that some cable internet...

No - do your best to find a GOOD local guy! You'll be a LOT better off.

I strongly DISagree about weather boots. They OFTEN cause more trouble than they are worth. If the installer used weatherproof connectors (which are quite common nowadays), you should have no problems as long as the cable are run so that water runs away from the switch. I use Gilbert UE-6...

I've heard several stories that report that you can NOT repeaat NOT reactivate the old HD pack when returning from vacation hold or similar shutdown.

Another DP34 is the recommended method - as long as you can get 2 RG-6 cable feeds to the 322. IF and ONLY if: 1. you went with a single-tuner (301 or 311) AND 2. only have two satellite feeds to the DP34, then you could hang a DP21 on the cascade outputs of the DP34. It's not an approved...

I think it's just a different way of getting to the "starting" frame (P-frame?). My 921 used to jump FORWARD. I like the 622 method as it makes it easier to single-step when you want to.

SBCA certification never was worth much. The useful content would fit on a single page. :cool: OTOH, Doctor Bob, it does NOT take a whole year under supervision. In fact, I've brought a few guys up to speed in just a couple of weeks. Of course, I only recruit people that have a brain. That's...
