    Question about output to 4:3 CRT TV

    I had a 27" Panasonic tau CRT since 2005. it's best to use 480i via component input from dish IRD. svideo only has 320i which is lower than component! rock on! =P

    Boeing is a "crying wolf" Boeing is hungry for money right now. Do you guys remember, they had rectly loss a major deal with the pentagon to build air tankers. Airbus & Northrop-Grumman beat them to it. Boeing is such a bully, they just want to grab some easy money from this lawsuit. :hungry:

    Wrong Way to Install your Satellite

    give him death penalty! =} that dude is such a jacka**. I would have delivered him to the electric chair to fry his brain. That would sure awaken his conscientiousness. :eureka He should have brought the IRD with him next to the dish outside...

    Poll: Will Dish add any new HD this week?

    there won't be new HD soon until amc14 gets fixed. if only we have orbiting space elevators right now, people can hop up & down in space with ease. :eureka

    What no one will tell you about HDTV...

    stop being ignorant! listen up! signal quality & signal strength are 2 different matters. check out starchoice satellite, I've got pictures of an installation showing quality & strength values. {There are two parameters that are important for the IRD to propoerly be able to receive a signal...

    Almost Comical Chat with Dish online rep regarding "No Phone Line Fee"

    It's not logical!!! would you pay an extra $5 for every computer that's connected to your dsl/cable connection? I highly doubt it. I have 4 computers in the whole house, which would make comcast filty rich havin' an extra $20 fee going back to their pockets. To have a basic landline service...

    Almost Comical Chat with Dish online rep regarding "No Phone Line Fee"

    submit a complain to the FTC! dish network needs to get their b8d whipped for exploitation! The $5 no landline fee is bullcrap! Why won't the FTC/FCC interfere to stop them? :up:hungry:

    129 Options

    Best way is to add a wing dish. Your best bet is to add a wing dish for 129 sat. You'll get more signal with a dedicated dish like a 32" Fortec Star parabola using the DP dual lnb attached to it. Trust me, using only 1 dish for multiple satellites is indeed a compromise of signal quality...

    High gain dish

    it's all about physics. The larger surface you have, the better. higher elevations are less prone to rain fade. There is nothing wrong with upgrading to the largest dish you can find out there. Imagine the size of the SETH parabola in central America. :eek:

    STL Locals on 118.7 HD

    lazy figure 8 orbit? am I the only one reading this right? DBS sats has geosynchronous orbits like a full circle. They have about the same speed as the earth's rotation. I do know XM radio do use the lazy figure 8 orbit. DISH & directv are not crazy, so no chance of a lazy figure 8 orbit...

    322 Receiver showing wrong switch

    Jadeworld (TVB) on Dish?

    Bell expressvu anyone? With bell expressvu, i'm paying $40 CAD/ month. $25 English programming & $15 fairchild tv. I simply have more bang for da buck. Jadeworld will never be on DISH unless their contract ends with directv. Visit fairchildtv.com and kusat.com for more info.

    Jadeworld (TVB) on Dish?

    why not try expressvu/starchoice? With the Canadian systems, they do carry Fairchild TV which contains very similar TVB programs like jadeworld. Fairchild TV only costs $15 CAD compared to $36.99 Jadeworld. Expressvu is echostar 's cousin if u will. They share the same technology...

    Question about the Switch Check results?

    you have enough power yet? Are you using a power adapter to provide extra juice to the 2 dpp44 switches? Make sure it's running smooth with the power demand. :)

    Dish Pro Digital Twin LNBF - Check Switch = XXXX

    Overheating? Your LNB might be having drift problems. Give DISH a call and ask them to send a replacement for you. Have you checked the diagnostic screen yet to see how much drift you have? :)

    ViP 622 & Dish 1000.2 Connections ???

    DPP separator You would need a DP+ separator for your VIP 622. It's a good idea to use the 1000.2 dish since it doesn't need the DPP44 switch. ;)

    Why 2 sets of local channels?

    Lousy echostar. No wonder their HD quality is low even running in MPEG4. They've got too many junkies like local feeds in their system. I care more about national HD channels like (Discovery, HBO, USA) more than local affiliates. :rolleyes:

    Satellite vs. cable

    Get a 1 Meter parabola! ^^__^^ When you truly want 100% uptime for your DN system, then please upgrade to a larger dish. Ku-band signal attenuation is higher than 4DTV since its frequency is at 12Ghz compared to 4Ghz. You can try the 90CM dish if budget is tight. I recommend Sadoun to buy...

    dish 1000+ issues with 129 and bad rain fade

    Repoint to 118 from 121

    118W is Anik F3. Linear circular polarized. This bird is very special since it's like being in the twilight zone. It broadcasts under the FSS spectrum with circular polarization. ;)

    Installer tells me it's illegal to install my dish?!?! HELP!

    Screw those lousy apartment regulations. You have the FCC. I thought the installers were suppose to do their homework like getting all facts down & clear. The FCC had passed The Telecommunication Act of 1996 to allow satellite dishes up to 39" in diameter to be used in residential applications...
