    Satellite dish model and cabling requirements

    In my opinion, it is foolish to put dish 28' above ground UNLESS there is a line of sight issue. You will have issues with techs accessing dish to service.

    What's the best way to wire my house?

    Your diagram is correct. It sounds like you do have an amplified antenna. The power inserter for the antenna needs to be placed in between the antenna and the splitter shown in the diagram.

    What's the best way to wire my house?

    You need to run an additional cable from your dish antenna to your new DISH receiver. What you term "SAT Splitter" is actually a seperator, which allows a dual tuner receiver such as the 722k the ability to use both tuners with one wire. It DOES NOT allow you to split a satellite signal...

    check switch 1 of 12

    Before check switch, you should show signal strength if you tune to 61.5 on signal strength screen. Once signal locks and meter bar turns green, exit out of screen. Hopefully, you will get the screen that asks if your dish is locked down, answer yes and receiver should download new software...

    Columbia MO Local HD?

    Jay There are three current types of DISH 1000 dishes, 1000.2, 1000.4 & 1000+. The 1000.2 is similar to the old DISH 1000, but with an integrated LNB. It points at 110/119/129. The 1000+ points at 110/118/119/129. The 1000.4 is the ONLY dish in the 1000 series that points to 61.5, being...

    Could equipment be damaged? Cant get Dish500 going!

    Make sure your mast is perfectly plumb. Set your skew to 127, and tighten. There is no need to fine tune the skew setting. Set your elevation to 27. Use a compass to find 245 and roughly aim dish there. Using a meter (or the signal meter in the receiver), slowly move antenna until you get...

    My local CBS will no longer be on Dish

    We do OTA installs (among other things) out in Montgomery City area, and have had great success with Winegard AP8275 preamp. Yes, it makes a difference, at least out in this area. Depending on where you live in Columbia, you may be suffering from multipath as well. If so, a preamp will not...

    Want to get another HDTV - Are two 622s possible?

    You can add 2 622's with DISHn It Up if you have 2 942 receivers. The upgrade cost is $199/per unit. If you are lucky, exec resolution will allow you to do something similar. Dealer cost for 622 is over $400, so this is your best bet. Good luck

    Help with upgrading equipment..& install...

    The splitter needs to be between the antenna power supply and the receivers. In other words, the power supply needs to feed a single cable direct to the antenna. If you place a splitter between the PS and the antenna, you will not properly power the preamp. You will then be able to split the...

    Combining OTA / SAT signal

    Yes you can. You will need to split the OTA by the number of feeds needed, and use diplexers to combine the OTA and satellite feeds. You will use another diplexer at each receiver to seperate the OTA and satellite. If your OTA uses a powered pre-amplifier, the power supply needs to be...

    2nd IRD at house relocated to new apt

    If you are saying that you had a receiver added to an existing account of the family member, you will violate terms of service by moving your receiver to another location without setting up a new account. Best thing to do is to contact DISH (or better yet, a LOCAL RETAILER) and have a new...

    Dish treats former customers like dirt.

    Have your parents remove your name from their account, and find a LOCAL RETAILER who can help you. If your address and phone number are different from your parents, the retailer will be able to set you up with a new account. Best of luck Alan

    model 625 killed my tv?

    Any possibility that a stereo speaker is too close to the tv? It almost sounds like distortion from a speaker magnet. May need for the tube to be degaussed.

    DPP44 switch

    We found out the hard way that the 322 needs to be updated first. We always light up the receivers here in our shop before we install with a DPP44. It doesn't take much effort to bypass a switch. Al

    Confused about contract

    In order to drop your HD package, you will have to have your 811 turned off. You cannot have the 811 without the HD package. You are obligated to the service for 12 months following the DISH Mover. Al

    DPP44 switch

    No, it is not. The 322's DO NOT have the software for DPPlus installed out of the box. If you attempt to connect through a DPP44 prior to bypassing the switch and downloading updated software, you will be in for a VERY LONG DAY! Al

    Hooking up a 5th TV

    You need to use the 522 to backfeed to the other room. The 510 and 522 both have RF connections, but the 522 has an agile modulator, which means that not only do you have a choice of RF channels besides 3/4, but the output is greater to allow for signal loss due to splitting the signal, etc...
