    Is it possible to receive 119/129 on a Dish 500 pro plus.

    if you had it on the old twin, and did not move the dish, and your current reading says 119 / conn. it is either because you are not using a separator, or the twin is bad. unless of course it is a single tuner, then you wouldn't need the separator.

    Dish pole mount question

    also, dish has rules about the type of cable that can be buried. you may be wasting your time putting your own cable in, only to find out the tech says he/she has to replace it. also, if you bury the pole yourself you will avoid a reschedule (for digsafe). typically techs don't have an issue...

    Best deal for new Dish Network customer?

    a retailer in my area charges $150. it is not disclosed in their flyers or website, they tell you over the phone really really fast with all the other disclaimers. of course they often drop the fee to $50, so you think you are getting a $100 special deal.

    there actually is a price difference on one of the packages right now that varies depending on your credit qualification. no idea why. but they need to run the check to know what the price for programming will be for a new customer.

    Do I have a defective LNB?

    if it reads 110, and you verify and it then says 119, the dish is not aimed correctly. normally my meter will say 119, then when verified is on 110. but, the same solution holds true...it's not aimed right. the first port is for 119. the 2nd 110. the 3rd 129. (someone correct me if I am...

    Do I have a defective LNB?

    yeah, like I said I don't know that meter, does it have a verify button? I normally use a superbuddy which often misreads the first sat, until verified. as a tech, I guess if I were using a meter I trusted, and I was sure the dish was aimed right, I would try a new lnb next.

    Do I have a defective LNB?

    almost all lnbs have those white spots, it does not indicate a defect of any kind. probably an aiming issue, or a meter issue. I am not familiar with that meter but most meters only show you one sat at a time. have you hooked it up and run a checkswitch? the position of 110 in the checkswitch...

    Best deal for new Dish Network customer?

    the normal best dealis free install/free activation, and all the stuff you mentioned minus that $200 card. make sure you have no install fee, or hookup fee of any kind, and that is probably the best deal you are going to get.
