    winegard ds-1111 replacement? OTA addon mount

    I'm looking for a Winegard DS-1111. I'd like to try combining my Dish and OTA antenna to one pole/mount. It looks like it's been discontinued. I've found an eBay seller that's got it for around $30. Anyone know of any alternatives or other suggestions? Thanks in advance :)

    Never ending Wally problems.....

    My Wally acts up from time to time, maybe once or twice a month. Yes it's annoying but it's not too often for me. The recent update that enabled the 2nd SAT tuner for recording and being able to use the 2nd tuner on the dual OTA module make it bearable :)

    Help pop get Dish and OTA channels in the garage/shop?

    Well, if you are familiar with running ethernet, I'm using a $35 AGPtek LKV372A kit I got on Amazon to send my Wally in the living room to a bedroomTV. My Wally goes into my Onkyo AV receiver which has a main out (living room TV) and a sub out (kit above). I've been using it for a couple months...

    Need a favor from someone in the north part of Metro Atlanta on EA

    I'm not in ATL, but I'd say it looks like you are good to go: http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist/index.php?search=dnall&sub=true&sort=&order=&beamMap=E16_SB36.jpg http://www.satbeams.com/footprints?beam=7199

    skew on single sat/dish?

    Thanks for the quick response. That's what I figured. I fibbed... it's not a 90cm pan. It's this one: http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=DS-2177 (30 inch / 76 cm) I've got a DP single LNB on it. I do have a bigger pan sitting in my garage... it may be time to give it a try :)

    skew on single sat/dish?

    I understand how skew is important when aiming at multiple sats on a single dish, but does dish or LNB skew matter when aiming for a single sat? I use a dedicated 90cm dish for 61.5 to help pull in locals. I'm on the edge of the spotbeam and I barely get a signal on the 90cm dish (between 7-14)...

    Massive Sports Timer Problem

    Not trying to be a jerk, there are several threads on guide/EPG issues. Sadly I'm not sure Dish is listening :( Here are just a few: http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/new-epg-info-data-strange.367426/page-7#post-4044363 http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/guide-info-stinks.368516/...

    Home Media, thumn-nail upper right.

    Ha! I just got around to connecting my Wally to my network and noticed the same thing this past weekend. Glad it's not just me. Hopefully Dish will fix it "soon".....

    Troubleshooting Tips for DISH's EPG issues

    For me, live sports events are still janked up... One example, I like to record English Premier League Soccer on NBCSN. It used to work great and every live match was recorded under one timer using the Only New option. Currently. I have to manually set a timer for every game. I have deleted and...

    External hard drive test

    Sorry your Wally is being a jackwagon. My Wally with OTA+EHD has been fine since I reset everything a little over a week ago.... *knocks on wood*

    External hard drive test

    funny.... my Wally was going bezerk last week. I've got the USB OTA adapter and an EHD on it. If I tuned to an OTA channel, all I got was a black screen. If I did not tune back to a SAT channel fast enough, the box would reboot itself and I'd get the EXHD test popup. When it was back up, I still...

    replace 211z with a Wally questions

    Hello. We have a 211z on our account setup as a tailgater receiver. We do not use it much but it gets the job done when we need it. We are considering replacing it with a Wally. I have two questions: 1) We paid the $40 one time charge to allow us to connect an external hard drive to the 211z...

    New TV dish pq seems less impressive now

    IMO Dish is a bit "soft" compared to other providers I have had in the past (Comcast, TWC, and FiOS). At least it's better than uVerse. uVerse HD PQ is the pits.

    beIN Sports HD english feed stuck on Spanish audio?

    ugh, yep... 392 is English feed with English audio 871 is English feed with Spanish audio 873 is Spanish feed with Spanish audio only thing missing is Spanish feed with English audio in HD. I had 871 and 873 added to my custom favs list. Made sense to me since they were next to each other.

    beIN Sports HD english feed stuck on Spanish audio?

    beIN Sports HD (English feed) on 871 seems to be set on Spanish audio. The last two La Liga games have had Spanish commentary and the audio level is very soft. The SD version is in English. Can anyone else with 871 check and verify? While we are talking beIN Sports, I've noticed that the SD...

    mtv networks

    I started a Dish Chat this morning and quickly left when the rep. had no idea what I was talking about. I started a "conversation" with a DIRT user (ZachS) and was told, "We have no indication that these will be available in any other package." Who else can we provide feedback to to try and...

    "moving" for locals

    I looked at spotbeam footprint maps on satbeams.com. For me, and assuming it's accurate, SB15 on 61.5 > SB41 on 129 > SB21 on 110. Since 61.5 has the strongest signal, that's what I'm going for. I've got trees blocking my view of WA. I could move the dish for WA but it looks like 61.5 is my best...

    "moving" for locals

    If I stuck a 61+72 LNB on the existing dish, I wonder if I'd get more signal since I'd be aiming for 2 sats instead of 3. In my mind, more real estate on the pan might mean more signal :) It would probably be the cheapest and cleanest solution, keeping me on a single dish. I've peaked 61.5 about...

    "moving" for locals

    Ok. I've got a 1000.4 EA dish with 77, 72, and 61.5. I get a low but lockable signal (> 10) on spotbeam 15 transponders 24 and 32 in the evening on 61.5 which house the locals for DFW. At all other times the signal is there but it's lower (< 10) and not lockable. I want to try and improve the...

    "moving" for locals

    Long time no see :) After several years using Cable and/or IPTV, I'm back on the Dish for TV. Before I ask my question, is discussing "moving" for locals frowned on or can I proceed?
