    Hopper on legacy lnb

    Well, I actually gave it a shot tonight and surprisingly it worked, somewhat. I was able to see everything on 119 but nothing on 110 and of course only 1 tuner worked. I guess it is not able to access the internal switch built into the legacy twin lnb.

    Hopper on legacy lnb

    I would like to take my hopper tailgating with me and have a question about lnb compatibility. Currently I have a dish 1000.4 connected to a solo node. Due to the inconvenience of the dish being located on the roof, I would like to know If I could use my old dish 500 with a legacy twin lnb and...

    Actual HD Resolution

    I didn't see anything in that thread about the 1440x1080i. Pretty much I am wondering if dish still does "hd lite." And my tv has a 1920x1080 matrix. Its a panasonic VT series plasma.

    Actual HD Resolution

    So I am thinking of switching from my current cable provider to Dish Network. I remember a few years back reading that dish transmits their HD at 1440x1080i instead of 1920x1080i. My question is, is this still true today? thanks

    How can we get ALL HD channels in South Florida with a single dish?

    You could try a dish 1000.2. I can receive 129 in south florida, but that was when I tried a separate dish 500. I would still go for 61.5 because I can get much higher signal readings on it than 129.

    Dish 322 and cable

    You can get two 2-way splitters and connect them backwards to combine the cable and TV2 feeds, but you need to make sure that you set the receiver to output to a CATV channel and to one that is not in use on your CATV system, like channel 125.

    Newbie Dish Question

    Well, since you got Dish installed last week, you mostly likely 99.9999999999% have at least a dish 500 which is all you need to receive the AT180.

    Court tv?

    Hmmmmmmmm this sounds familiar, like the lifetime drop and announced rate increase last year. Seems like this Dish is going to do this every year until they lose all of their customers.

    Superdish 121 at 118

    Will a superdish 121 and superdish 121 fss lnb work for the 118 orbital location? Or do I need a different lnb?

    Echostar 11

    Just a thought. If 110 or 119 were to give out, they could move the minor locals to the old 105 and 121 slots. I've been through a few old superdish markets in Florida lately, and there seems to still be quite a few more superdish's than 500's. The people with these superdishes wouldn't even...

    118.7 Internationals Information

    Are German Channels Leaving 121? And if so, will they be completely off 121, or just mirrored at 121 and 118.7?

    Scheduled channels move on 121

    What about people that subscribe to Foreign Language? Where are they going to move these channels, specifically PRSBN 726? I am asking because I converted one of my neighbors over from cable to dish for internationals, and he will have a fit if his superdish 121 will not receive his German Channels.

    They should move E6 to 129 and use E5 as an in orbit spare for 110 instead of letting E6 just sit at 110 doing nothing.

    625 tv1 modulation problem

    Are you using the coax cable that came with the receiver? I have had the same problem with the factory coax like you are describing and it was fixed when I used my own coax.

    Showtime Free Preview

    Why does E* broadcast free premium channel previews on channels 284-300 instead of just authorizing the normal one like Directv does?

    Radio Shack closing up to 700 stores.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I went in to Rat Shack to buy 2 diplexors for my off-air antenna, and they were $24 each, and they were the crappy RCA's. Home depot sells the same ones for like $8 a piece. No wonder why they are closing so many stores.

    "Acquiring satellite signal"

    This question might sound dumb, but what is a dish network receiver really doing when it says "acquiring satellite signal". I want to know because I switched one of my neghbors over from directv to dish (for HD) and whenever it rains, he complains to me about the "Acquiring satellite signal"...
