GREAT! All the games of Loser U & Podunk College right on my TV. Couldn't we just have another home shopping channel to not watch???

It's not a question of NEED, it's question of WANT. I still WANT to have six sat setup, and with 129 it's now a possibility again. Yeah, since the lnbf's for the 105 and 121 sats (FSS) are conjoined to their adjacent LNB's (105/110 & 119/121) I figured it would just be easier to use the two...

There used to be a great thread of pictures of dish installs, but I can't find it --- and finally broke down and spent $30 at the Great-Wall Mart for a dig cam (rotated pictures)

All three of my 301's have 129 satellite in dish point. Appeared a few months ago. Have been meaning to try to hit, but haven't had the time. Still too heart broken after several days spent trying to hit 148 only to find that - "yes power lines really can mess up your compass" and "trees...

My neighbor (an older, retired gent) wandered over yesterday and asked me how I liked satellite TV (and why do you have four dishes :) ). The local cable company has apparently dropped Astro games - unsure of current company name or channel - and he likes to watch their games. (This rural...

Locks If you have your system software locked - you may want to turn off locks temporarily. Dish CSR had me do this recently when update failed - asked her why, since the locks didn't apply to the update - she said "Trust me - the software is buggy! This actually can help - don't ask me why."...

Going to die soon? Now, randomly when exiting the guide, the picture doesn't return to full size, just stays at quarter screen. Guide is some times scrambled - appears as randomly moving lines across part of screen where programs are listed - picture in upper right is fine... Hitting Menu...

Oh yeah, I don't even have to turn mine off - just hit guide and it down loads - what ever happened to updating in the background... Once or twice it said something about "this feature is not currently available" and the guide came up blank. Had to unplug it and reset and then it was ok...

On our planet, we call it the Internet...

The single LNB off to the side is a Dish Pro Dual (DBS) LNB. - for 119 or 110 depending on the Dish. The FSS LNB is part of a siamese-twin set-up that has 1-DBS and 1-FSS LNB. There are stickers on the back of the siamese-twins that tell you which one is the FSS LNB and which is DBS, but I...

Bad cable maybe? I haven't tried swapping mine yet this weekend - too busy pulling cable for phones and new reciever in back rooms of house. Man this stinks. Think I'm running out of expletives. I find it interesting that the switch DPP44 or DP34 can be on port 1 or 2, but single LNB has...

Sorry Sir, but I as a Texan, I take exception to this reference!

Why? mine don't and they work great.

Sorry, we seemed to have hijacked this thread, but I thought answer might have been obvious by now. I don't know what "stbs" is. (googled set-top-box = receiver??). The set up your thinking of using won't work. A DP21 switch can't be used as an input to a DPP44. This works for me: 119...

I would have expected that to work since the port side of the DPP is just a pass through of the LNB signal. (i think) What I find cool is that your DP21 Port 2 detected the DPP44 - so Port 2 is not single LNB only. But can DP21 be connected to only one switch (either on port 1 or 2) and the...

Yes, a receiver can drive more than 1 TV. My House was wired for cable and the first year I had dish one 301 drove the signal to 6 rooms. You need to put the splitter on the coax hooked to "TV SET OUT". All TV's hooked to a receiver will be watching the same channel. (I'm assuming that the...

Yep, your right. Put DP34 on dish port 2 of DP21, would not work at all until power inserter put between DP34 and DP21. Then receiver would recognize LNB on 1st dish port of DP34, but nothing on dish ports 2 or 3. DP34 was not even identified in check-switch test. So, there goes the six sat...

Do not believe that you can have two DPP 44's in switch path - sorry if I am not reading your post correctly, but I have been up too darn long.. My understanding of the switch technology is that you can't have two of the same type of switches between the receivers and the LNB's. The...

You can hook "receiver 1" on the dp44 to a DP21, but you would have to install an extra cable or two to get the power inserter between the DP21 & DPP44. I'm not much of an artist, but maybe the attached picture would help, the purple cables would potentially have to be run back to the house...

And Dish network wanted to know why I didn't want to have an installer come put my system up! (Actually, one of my neighbors does directv installs, and I did get some advice from him.) Too many of these local guys are just average Joe's with little or no understanding of what they are doing...

Just read the article on US call centers - bull. Spent over an hour and a half on hold/with CSR's last night trying to upgrade package and activate new receiver. They had to be in India or Pakistan area - spoke English well, but we still had trouble communicating. Hope the next time I call...

Just a thought Inspecting the cables is a good suggestion. Have you also tried swapping the cables, i.e., swapping cables on receiver ports 3 & 4 to see if the problem stays with port 4 or changes to port 3. Luck. Ooops... see you did this already...

Well, I'll post back when I get a chance to check. Couldn't do it today - the new LNB's I ordered came yesterday, but I screwed up and got legacy and not pro. (sigh...) Oh well, now I have something to do next week-end. BTW, have 301's.

Curious Curious, the check switch screen shows 61.5, 105, 110, 119, 121 & 148. The system info screen has room for six sat's as well. Maybe you can only have 5 of the six, maybe not... I'm going to have to check this out for myself now. (Probably won't work, but what the heck)
