They look at you guys as high end customers.. if you're willing to pay $250 for an upgrade fee to lease a piece of equipment, you all can pay an upgrade fee (I'm thinking $99 w/contract, $199 without) for MPEG4 upgrades.

probably fried the LNBF if you tried to use a direct TV rcvr with a DP LNBF.

You'll get some flak if it ain't free... the transition will be painful on their ears and wallet I'll be sure...

Heck 119 is at 26-28 degrees here, depending where you are in the state.

That's downright foolish. They take up little space. I always kept extra dishes.. matter of fact I picked up a bulk pack of 10 at a time. What if you're missing hardware? What if you screw up and warp the dish... what if you run into a modification or get a call to pick up a workorder because...

or if they modify the workorder while the tech is onsite.. the reschedule will be moot since he'll do it then and there.

It's a very complicated system meant to balance installer availability and projected worload. Without getting terrifically detailed let's say your install was assigned a certain amount of points meant to represent an assumed allotment of time. Then you called to add a second dish. Since their...

Well.. they would probably use your existing D500 for your wing point. otherwise leaving it or taking it is up to the individual installer. I'd leave it personally, because you never know if it's warped or off a bit here or there. they'd probably put a DPDual on the dish.. they phased out...

Anything beyond those lengths mentioned above, you might want to switch to RG-11 for at least some of the wiring to minimize your signal degradation.

They should have contacted him and informed him of the change... It's an escolation waiting to happen... and when it does everyone will point fingers and noone will take blame.

I hear if you stick a strong magnet to the harddrive all the data will stay once it's tipped sideways.

1-866-FU2-DISH ha ha.. just kidding folks.

A DPPTwin will work fine with a DPP44. Do you have the power inserter on the line going into port one and is it plugged in??

Well, some have said it and I'll add to it.. since that bird has been known for having issues.. (wasn't that the one they got an insurance settlement for?) and only recently did it become somewhat usable... maybe they are having power issues with it again.

I've heard stories like this for quite a while.. my favorite one is about a customer who had 5 rcvrs on his account and his cell phone was the only contact number... well, they called to do the "test" and of course he wasn't at home, they called while he was at work... cell phones are mobile...

Hmm... just out of laziness i used hand tight except for ground blocks. Since they are where they corrode the fastest around here and there's no internal components to break... etc etc... Besides, aren't stingers supposed to be snipped so they aren't 2mm beyond the connector? I always flipped...

In fact it's a canadian law forbidding US programming. We're not lawyers here... there's not specific talking about hacking, which is our main rule. It could be some legitimate US subscriber trying to get his stuff to work in a summer place in Mexico for all any of us know. Let's drop the...

Yup, I read some internal secret memos about blocking Toddski's Desperate Housewives habit. Have you tried the typical Dish reciever steps? -Soft reboot (hold down the power button) -Hard reboot (Unplug, replug in)

I had one customer who bought a 921 and insisted that it needed two lines ran to it instead of one (dishproplus) because the manual said so. The whole time I'm arguing with this old man, he's wearing nothing but boxer shorts in his recliner, with one hand down below out of sight. He wants the...

crap. maybe mpeg4 will help ease the restraints on transponder space and allow for better quality HDLIL

Nah, they have plans to use 105 for satellite broadband... but that doesn't have anything to do with what channels are on it, isn't that a seperate part of the hybrid bird? As for LIL HD. Now, I don't dabble too much in HD, but isn't for the most part the programming everyone wants to view is...

and off of 121/105... does that mean Dish will have the capacity, once it stops mirroring the local channels, for even more locals? Maybe a push to carry all DMA's? Or should I just go back to sleep since I'm dreaming.

any word from Dish's bigwigs about this?

you should be able to. use your dish receiver, go to the 'point dish' screen. input your zip code, sat 129, dish 300, and it should give you the proper dish settings with a plumb mast.

2250... or else you'll have one set of transponders acting funky.
