    SEC Network?

    CBS and ESPN won the contract to provide video feeds from the SEC for the next 15 years. CBS will carry most of the large high profile games and ESPN will pick up some as well.

    HD on all 4 televisions

    I disagree! Having the ability to record and watch the show anywhere is priceless! If Dish would come out with a 2 HD output DVR or even 3 I would be first or at least near the first in line...

    Is HD what you thought it would be ?

    I think I understand what is being said here. A good SD signal "NTSC" is a great signal compaired to todays HD signals. Back in the day when AT&T and RCA provided actual standards when they broadcasted signals the PQ was great. Now you have networks trying to save money by using IP and other...

    1002 lnb

    The LNB in port is only used if you have a "Wing Dish". Normal 1000.2 gets 110/119/129 satellite orbital locations. If you require 61.5 for locals or 148W for international you will use the LNB IN port. Otherwise a single coax to any port "except LNB IN" will run your 722 as long as you have a...

    SD resolutions dropping on 110W

    For SD thats not poop. Remember some of the IP video providers are reducing SD down to 1.5Mb/s including audio. HD as low as 6.5Mb/s.... As better hardware H.264 encoders come along I expect it to go lower. "Distribution" Contribution video is going higher and is currently running MPEG2 @...

    Eastern Arc Dish Info & Install Guide

    Yeah while I’m not very up to date on dish network operations I do know that we have earth stations where I work that have some extremely large dishes like 32 feet and those never lose signal. So my thought was the larger the dish the greater the DB the less likely you are to experience loss.

    Eastern Arc Dish Info & Install Guide

    Mostly because its fun to tinker! I already have MPEG4 gear but in my experiance when you have a multi dish signal levels are lower and loss during a storm is likely. As a tech guy that is unacceptable to my wife :-) It was a simple question signal the same or better with single dishes ?

    Eastern Arc Dish Info & Install Guide

    1000.2 w/ wing dish for EA I know its not possible to get all 3 birds from EA from the 1000.2 but for those of us with a 1000.2 and a wing dish 500 for 61.5 does anyone make a 2 LNB adaptor for the 1000.2 that will allow 72 / 77 reception? This way I can get EA with my current setup. Also if...

    Cleveland HD Locals

    With EA why would they put Cleveland locals on 129? Unless maybe upgrading people with a wing dish at 61.5 and a 1000.2 got to expensive for them.

    Smithsonian HD dropped and replaced with Crime & Investigation HD

    BTW its not just me calling about the locals issue. And I never watched the smithsonian channel but its just the principle. today its smithsonian tomorrow it could be USA or another of my most watched channels. No one knows because they keep everything such a damn secret!

    Smithsonian HD dropped and replaced with Crime & Investigation HD

    I am sure glad AT&T went with Direct TV. I am tired of waking up to a political game between Charlie and some network. As a customer of dish for many years I think the line was finally crossed. Its always something broken sat, greedy network, low ratings, etc. I am calling direct on monday...

    Ciel 2 Tracking

    In Cleveland, Ohio if you had a Dish 1000 dish then you received 110/119/129 birds from one large dish. When we got locals here in NE Ohio they put them on 61.5 along with our Regional sports networks "moved them from 129". of course since your original dish only supported the 3 orbital...

    61.5 is doing pretty good for me now. But might as well use 129 since its new :-)

    Ciel 2 Tracking

    New 129 vs. Old 129 I currently reside in Ohio and have a 100.4 with wing 61.5. I recently covered my 129 LNB simply because my receiver kept locking on the 129 sat for my HD. This went out "with a clear view of the SW sky" a lot. With this new bird going to 129 what is the power difference...

    Wow this is a quote for the Hall Of Fame! LOL Funny stuff. You know that NORAD santa stuff was all started because a local department store put out a phone number so kids could call in to the store and tell where Santa was. The number was 1 number different from the "Red phone" line at NORAD...

    Dish Network claims I leased my receiver

    A trip to your local small claims court could address the 6 months they refuse to credit. Oh and don't forget mental anguish. Now that dish has been dropped by AT&T I can't wait to move to DTV. Finally get the NFL ticket and all of those HD channels.

    Benefits of the easturn ARC

    Thanks to Scotts review of the eastern arc we know pretty much that if you have a 2 dish setup now with 110/119/129/61.5 there is really no reason to upgrade from a PQ perspective. However having that setup in Ohio I never lose 61.5 in a storm only the others "61.5" is the wingdish. Are the...

    NBC LOCAL IN CLEVELAND

    Here in Cleveland I have been experiencing intermittent sound issues with the NBC affiliate from Dish. I do not get the issue off air so I assume it’s only a dish local encoder issue. I noticed them during the Olympics and have again noticed the same thing during last nights NFL game. Any other...
