We currently have a leased 625, non-HD programming, single TV. This has been our setup since 9/2008. We got a new HD TV and we want to upgrade to a 722k and switch our package to HD. I assume this will require 1) a satellite dish repositioning or replacement 2) receiver replacement with new...

I currently use a 311 receiver, one room, one TV. I have a SuperDish dish outside and a DP 34 switch with one coax line going from the switch into the house. We have one of the higher packages and locals. I have no HD equipment and don't need any HD stuff at this time. Still using an old TV...

I got a Rain Bird Timer Cabinet ($30) from Lowes. It's for a sprinkler system, but with a little modding the switch fit in there. It's supposed to be waterproof. I sprayed some expanding foam around where the wires go into the bottom of the box to keep wasps out (hopefully). Thanks for the...

Wow, thanks for that. I really am a n00b. All my locals are on 105 T 02, and it's still at 83 to 85 signal. Yay! Thanks!

Heh, Mississippi! There were no locals here in early 2001 when my Dish 500 was installed. The locals just went live about 9 months ago or so. The installer showed me the locals here all come in on 105, but now I've forgotten which T they were on. I just know that while he was showing me the...

Hi guys. Got the new SuperDish installed today. However, now I have a switch, which I didn't have before. Due to the location of the wiring and stuff, the switch was just mounted to the pole outside. Is that fine (all coax connectors are covered) or do I need to get some type of...

Iceberg, I have no idea what the 148 was for. It was just pulled in on my Dish 500 dish. ??? I thought it was odd that my SuperDish doesn't pull in 148 at all now. Doesn't matter, I don't need it anyway.

Ok guys, got the new SuperDish and 311 receiver installed this morning. Here's my signals now to compare with: 119 T11: 111 119 T12: 112 119 T19: 111 119 T20: 111 110 T11: 110 110 T12: 114 110 T20: 111 110 T21: 115 148 T11: 0 148 T12: 0 148 T19: 0 new: 105 : the T my...

I have you all beat!! http://www.snakeyez.us/images/satelliteguys/DSC03242.JPG Yes, this was done by a "professional installer" too. I called ahead and got permission to put the galvanized fence post in the ground (like 3' with concrete) and they told me to go ahead. They came out a...

I don't know exactly. I just know that the last chance I get to check my signal before it goes is around 70 for 119 channels. The storm probably moves in very quickly. :P Just ignore me, I'm a n00b.

Ouch, that kinda sucks...when my signal on 119 drops below 75 or so is when a storm is about to knock my picture off. Sounds like local channels might be hard to watch during bad weather...

Thanks Iceberg! I suppose it's all relative right? I mean, your signal to 119 relative to 110? The installer just tries to get the best of both because you only have a single dish to aim? What I mean is, the installation LOCATION wouldn't provide a decent 119 signal and a bad 110 signal...

Ok man, checked it all again. 119 T11: 98 119 T12: 102 119 T19: 93 119 T20: 98 110 T11: 51 110 T12: 80 110 T20: 71 110 T21: 50 148 T11: 97 148 T12: 0 148 T19: 93 How's that? I only have one Dish 500 dish out there....

Thanks for everyone's advice to me on this forum. I have a local installer coming out tomorrow to upgrade my Dish 500 dish to a SuperDish and my receiver from a 3900 to a 311. I'm excited. I was wondering, however, if they'll have to move from my current dish's mounted position? I have my...

Thanks for that reply. I had just called Dish Network to see what they'd say. A nice fella named Jim told me to try the local guys first. Since I just want to buy (not lease) a new 311 and a SuperDish, he said local guys could probably beat Dish Network on pricing due to the shipping...

Bah, searched and found that ya can't swap activated cards. Oh well. I think I'm going to call Dish Network and see what I can get. Someone tell me if they think this is reasonable: I want to BUY a new 311, I want to BUY a new SuperDish, I want it to be installed by a pro, hopefully...

My 3900 has a yellow card in it. I just put it in and activated it a few months ago. Could I just swap cards?

I think I asked a similiar question to this already, but it's been a long while back. I currently have a model # 3900 receiver and a Dish 500 dish. Lately, the Dish 500 signal has gotten worse....I get like 74 signal strength on the 119 sat. My receive has always been crappy with the "Info...

Chuckster, Thanks for the reply! We will be signing up with Dish on Friday. We are getting the DHA plan because we were told by the installer that after 12 months we could pay yearly instead of monthly. I hope this is true. Plus, with the DHA promotion, the installer said he'd waive the $50...

Could anyone help me out with my original questions? 1) Can we sign up for the Free-For-All promotion and pay yearly for America's Top 60 AND the installer get his kickback? 2) Or can the installer only get his kickback by switching us from Pegasus to Dish's Digital Home Advantage promotion...

My old 3900 has one set of RCA analog outputs, plus one coax output. The 510 doesn't have any coax outputs? Why does it have TWO sets of RCA outputs? I don't think I worded my original question correctly. It's difficult to explain. But, I think in knowing that only ONE output is...

CablerMN Oops, sorry I should have clarified. The installation location isn't a business or a commercial property or anything like that. It's just a place we go to do work sometimes, not a business office or anything like that though. Sorry for not giving enough info.

Hi all. I'm considering trying to upgrade my old Dish Network model 3900 reciever and I'm thinking about trying to get a PVR/DVR reciever model. I have a home theater setup, it's a low end RCA system. I've maxed out my inputs on it - my 3900 satellite receiver took up my last input. I'm...

Already on my 2nd post. :) As I had said in my previous post, I have a model 3900 reciever with a Dish 500 dish outside that I recieved when I first signed up with Dish Network in 2000 or 2001 (I can't recall). I've been living with limited features and annoying "Info Not Available" for...

This is my first post here, so please bare with me. I was pointed to this site from friends at dslreports.com. Here's the story. I have been with Dish Network for over 4 years now. I have a 3900 receiver and I never knew how sucky it had become until my parents got their new 301 receiver...
