    622 "pause bar" burn in

    jay, that does work, but it's a pain: the tv draws a nice bit up juice each time it powers back up (the lights flicker a bit) and there is a pause before the picture returns to the screen (just like most sony's do). also, what if i want to study something under the pause bar? i...

    Rectangular LNBF Arm

    I'm fiddling around with the 36" dish that my friend gave to me. The problem is that it has a rectangular rather than d-tube lnbf arm. I installed an I adaptor to mount the dish pro lnbf, but I didn't see the signal gain that I was expecting. Is there a chance that because the i-adapter...

    Spotbeam locals on the fringe

    thanks we camp near eugene. the sf locals work great in the summer, but in the winter it just isn't happening. since it does work in the summer i figured a bigger dish might pull it in in the winter? it's not a huge deal as we don't camp that many days, but it is nice to have the option...

    Spotbeam locals on the fringe

    My wife and I use our RV quite a bit and have up until now used distant locals when travelling to Oregon. Now that the distants have gone away, I have two options as I see it: I can get the waiver and pay the $ to NPS or I can spend a few bucks on an experiment... Here's my proposal...

    Dish Installer Here Now, Taking away 148 and replacing with 129?

    Hi, The dish tech is here installing my new 622 and he is linking it to 110, 119 and 129. I used to have 110, 119 and 148. He says that I no longer need 148. I though I needed it for certain local stations in the SF Bay Area. Is it true that 129 will fully mirror all that I had on 148?

    Adding DW TV-Req. Superdish

    I want to add DW-TV the German channel. Dish says I need to have Superdish installed, which I currently don't. Right now I have two dishes getting the usual 110, 119, and 148 for some locals. I guess they'll swap out one of the dishes for a super? The reason I'm writing is that I also want...
