    Dish Sat Spacing?

    MCIBUS, I would suggest a quick Google search for a Toroidial Dish, I once set one up with 12 lnbf's but I am pretty sure 16 or more lnbf's/Sats are possible. 61, 73, 82, 91, 101, 103, 105, 107, 110, 117, 119, 121.

    Complete Signal Loss - Check Switch Says Less Satellites Detected

    Just so you know, the blue center in the Barrel Connector (F81) signifies it is capable of passing 3Ghz Signals, the clear and white are normally only good for up to 1Ghz. Using the wrong ones, means a significant drop off of signals above the rated frequency. I think the issue is much more...

    Tailgater signal amplifier?

    If you mean RG59, that is part of the problem. Try using a good quality RG6 that is Sweep Tested to 3Ghz.

    Does dish have to be grounded?

    The OP was asking about grounding the Dish, not the cabling..... Just saying. Here in Canada, the Dish is ONLY grounded if it is the highest part of the house, otherwise it is just the RG6 lines that have to be grounded.

    Head End for fitness center.

    The way I would build that for Bell Tv using legacy equipment (because that is still the norm up here) is this; 2 x 16 output Rack Mounted Multi Switch's & an SW44. Feed all Rack Mounted Receivers (25) from the 16 ways. If they just need signal from 1 bird. Take 2 outputs from the 16 Ways...

    cable run

    I have a feed running 475 feet from a Dish 500 to a 522 receiver. All done using RG6, 3Ghz rated, works just great. RG11 will be OK too.

    2 Tuners, 1 Coax

    The LNBF must be Dish Pro Plus otherwise you need 2 cables for all those receivers.

    Selling DishPro 301: eBay violation?

    I know it is crazy. It is the same for Express Vu receivers, E-Bay remove listings if they mention the Card. When I put the 301 on E-Bay, without mentioning the Card, the bidding went as normal, although when the auction ended the winner wanted me to just ship the Card...... He did not want...

    ESPN2 - 720p or 720i?

    Wow, I just love your attitude. The picture looks genuine, maybe the box is receiving some corrupt info.... I have looked at KuSat and I do not see on any of his posts that he is an EXpress Vu Retailer..How did you reach this conclusion..? How did you also reach the conclusion he was a...

    Selling DishPro 301: eBay violation?

    Yes, just remove any references to a Smart Card and repost. I had the same issue with a 301, reposted without mentioning the Card and even though the picture had the Card in it, it went through no problem at all.

    ViP 622 & 211 with Legacy LNBF's.?

    I am sure this is an easy question to answer but so far I have not found a definitive one. Will these receivers work with a Legacy Set Up, ie Legacy Dual or an SW44 installation or do I really need to go Dish Pro.? Should I go all out and go Dish Pro Plus.? But main question is WILL they...
