    722 usb ports.

    I have a 722 vip and i just got the dish anywhere. It works decent how ever i had to unplug my 500 gig hard drive. So basically my question is, can i buy one of the usb thingys that makes 1 usb port into 2 or 3 or what ever and will it work so my hard drive and slingbox work simultaneously? fletch

    Three sats with two dishes.

    Ah gadday. I have a standard dish 500 dish with a dish pro plus lnb for 119 and 110 satellites. I installed a another dish (exactly the same one with same lnb) for the 129 sat and pointed it. I got 45 signal strength with it hooked directly to the reciever and tightend it down. Then i connected...

    help a noob! trying to get sat 110 to work

    Track vision can only see one satellite at a time and they are set to get the 119. you will never "see" more than one satellite at a time with a trac vision. They are made for mobile use not stationary.

    Dish NW Reception in Canada and Alaska?

    You can get the 148 with a 30 inch dish with stellar signal. youll need a 1m for the 119 for high 70's low 80's on the 119 and you can go 4' but i reccomend 6' for the 110. and that barely gets you mid 70's but it dosent go out when it decides to rain and we know how much that happens in...

    Switching cables to HDTV question

    assuming you have a widescreen tv your hd programming is now being show as it should in 16:9 widescreen format. Where as your SD programming is still in 4:3 aspect ratio format and unless you stretch it out it will have bars on the side. Im not sure what a 411 receiver is (maybe an 811...

    Pixalation is unacceptable. If i lived in america i would do the 129 with a 30 inch seperate dish and i bet that would take care of your signal issues. Consider yourselves lucky cause i cant even get that bird to pull any signal with a six foot channel master up here in the ol ak. Hell on that...
