    Brainstorm session: need help with tailgate LOS issues

    A pole is not an option. When I mentioned the trees were 100 feet tall, it wasn't much of an exageration. They are at least 40 or 50 feet tall.

    Brainstorm session: need help with tailgate LOS issues

    That's a good point that I didn't really think of. However, pulling the dish back away from the trees creates a hazard as the RG6 would be stretched over the parking lot where people walk and drive. We were able to do it last time because we didn't set up until the lot was virtually empty, but...

    Brainstorm session: need help with tailgate LOS issues

    Anyone got any ideas on how I can get a signal when I have tremendous line of sight issues? I just can't think of anything to get around this problem. Our tailgate spot is right up against what seems like 100 foot pines that are at least a hundred yards deep. To hit the appropriate birds...

    Have 301, need smart card

    The technician I was working with was going to do that. The smart card and receiver came from different accounts and he was going to combine them under my account. However, because of the lease issue he was unable to separate the smart card from that account.

    Have 301, need smart card

    I purchased a 301 with smart card from a guy on Ebay. I tried to activate everything last night, but couldn't get it done. The Dish technician told me the smart card I had belonged to a receiver that was leased and had not yet been returned. He said the account was inactive, but he could not...

    Advice needed for my tailgate setup

    Thanks for the quick replies. What do I need to get off the box to check if it has a balance? Also, forgot to mention that I need to hit 110 and 119 as I believe my locals are on 110.

    Advice needed for my tailgate setup

    With college football right around the corner, it's time to dust off my tailgating equipment. I have an extra Dish 500 that I used to connect to my 322. The problem is I returned my 322 at the end of last season because I no longer needed it in my house since we moved. Now, I'm trying to...

    Dish Network on Adelphia Sale to Comcast / Time Warner

    I got lost in all the legal babble. Is Dish basically saying they should have access to Comcast/Time Warner exclusive programming such as the CSS sports network? I live in an Adelphia service region and have long hated the fact that I can't get CSS.

    Confused about new receivers

    I'm hoping it means an end to having the receiver plugged into a phone line. Ever since I got Dish, I've been wondering why the receivers don't have an ethernet port instead of a phone port. It offers so many more possibilities.

    Dish Network Damaged my television set!

    How long did you leave it frozen? There may be a very small possible risk of screen burn under specific conditions, in which the display is permanently showing a particular channel, in which the brightness has been set at too high a level and where there is some static and high luminance...

    Can I combine all of these onto one RG6?

    I don't have anything like that on my 2nd floor. I do have two places on the first floor that have two vents side by side that are each about a foot in length. No air or heat comes out of them, so I guess they are the cold air returns. I have two separate furnaces in my home. One is in the...

    Can I combine all of these onto one RG6?

    Just to clarify things. I'm not combining anything with a satellite signal, so there is no need for diplexors. I'm combining OTA, cable, and TV2 output from a 522 which is a normal RF signal. Will I have a cold air return that runs the entire height of the house if I have two separate...

    Can I combine all of these onto one RG6?

    Yes, the cable only comes into the attic. I can't figure out why the builder did it this way. It's a new house and all the other houses we looked at had the cable coming into the basement.

    Can I combine all of these onto one RG6?

    Yeah, I've got wireless, but the signal gets weak from the attic to the basement. I have a lot of photos and home videos that I store on my file server, so I really need a wired connection.

    Can I combine all of these onto one RG6?

    I'm currently trying to figure out a way to get my cable modem from my attic into my basement. I can't seem to find a way to run a cable all the way down without major effort. Using my existing wiring I can get it down there if I can combine all these signals ok. Can I combine all of these...

    New installation: 119 good, no 110

    Sorry I don't have anything useful to add, but I had this same problem last weekend at my tailgate. I could pick up 119 and 129, but never got 110 to come in. Even though, I picked up 119 and 110 the night before at my house in 5 minutes, I couldn't get it at my tailgate.

    Annoying 522 Audio problems

    I was looking for the attenuator that came with my 522, but I can't seem to find it. Where can I find an attenuator that would work for this?

    Will any of the New Mpeg4 receivers

    Are you saying you can't put a Dish HD signal down coax or any HD signal? I have an OTA antenna hooked up to my tv with coax and it works just fine. I get all my digital locals in HD via the antenna.

    Annoying 522 Audio problems

    I posted this in the general Dish forum earlier, but only got one sarcastic response. I'm hoping I have better luck here. I've noticed some audio problems with my 522. I'm able to hear a high pitched "electric squeal" type noise when watching some programs. It is really noticeable when...

    What is the 522 tv2 RF output?

    Is the 522's RF tv 2 output analog or digital? I'd like to combine it with my OTA signal from my antenna and watch it on my ATSC digital tuner, but it doesn't see the signal. I'm assuming since it can't tune it in, that it's analog. Anyone know for sure?

    Audio problems with 522

    I've noticed some audio problems with my 522. I'm able to hear a high pitched "electric squeal" type noise when watching some programs. It is really noticeable when watching sporting events such as football where there is a lot of crowd noise. I'm watching on an LCD tv that is being fed from...
