I have a basic question. I have a Vistar2000 (FTA) and know the system is working because I can get it work on dish 119 and get some music chans.
What do I put in for the Frequency, for dish 119 I am using 12268? Also what should I use for the SR rate?
Is there a list for all the KU sats? I know of the http://www.lyngsat.com site BUT don't know how to use the freq listed?
I am using a Primestar dish and LNB (One output) and did get on sat once BUT it was week.
Thanks fot the help/time.

KU band is 10750000
DBS band is 11250000
C-Band is 5150000
a Transponder can have 1 channel or 20 channels on it. Eac TP has a frequency
The 2000 has major limitations. You can program up to 10 Tp's in it. So it fills up fast. I have one of these and it works good for Galaxy 10. Have most of the TP's programmed in there
The Pansat does the rest

correct
a Transponder can have 1 channel or 20 channels on it. Eac TP has a frequency
the skew you can manually change (literally...you go move the LNB on the dish)
yes. My Pansat can scan all TP's in a satellite or "search" for the new stuff.

I did some more putzing around and received the rest of the free stuff of DISH 119 bird. I now need to try some other sats.
I know the 18" dish is REAL small but can it and the DISH network LNB be used on other ku sats?
Also could I use my Primestar dish and LNB(one output) to receive the DISH 119 bird? I thought it would be a good test.
Thanks for the help.

My Joey 4 is installed on a bedroom tv.
The diamond buttons had been reset.
I thought this was unusual.
I had to reprogram the double diamond button for PIP which I watch.
No problem.
PIP feature on the Joey 4 had been used to watch two channels at once which I thought was the limitation being only two channels vs.Hopper 3's multi-view four channels.
This time when I selected the PIP feature I noticed an option for Multi-View?
Could this be?
Yes it could.
This software update does this.
Multi-view PIP (4 channels) Is Now Available on Joey 4.
This is freaking awesome and very surprising!!!
Very wonderful for me.

Unfortunately do to NDA's I can't discuss beta features until they are released to the public. But lets just say the DISH team is doing some amazing work.
Received this e-mail 3 days ago... At the bottom, it says limited to one Multi-view session per household. How does it work if someone had Hopper 3, Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus, Wired Joey 4 and a Wireless Joey 4 for example? Can they all do Multi-view session at the same time?
Unfortunately due to NDA's I can't discuss beta features until they are released to the public. But lets just say the DISH team is doing some amazing work.
Is there an estimated Amazing Date when we might see the results of this Amazing Work?
I know this is for Dish TV service but was wondering if anyone has gone from Verizon to the Dish Boost Mobile cell phone service and would you recommend it.

I couldn't afford a new one, but used truck prices are just as crazy
Ok, I'm bored .... actually - to be more precise - I'm bored of eating the same rotation of 9 or 10 meals that are currently my "go-to" meals. My wife works the long hours - I work from home as and when i feel like it ... which means i generally do most of the cooking ... and so by default - i also make out the shopping list ...
We cook at home 5 or even 6 nights a week - but we always seem to fall back on the same old tried and tested "quick and easy but tastes ok" meals. Week in week out.
Pot Roast - mash and Peas.
Spaghetti
Chicken Pasta in cheese sauce.
Curry & rice
(these are some of mine)
Now it's not that I'm not adventurous in the kitchen ... I'll try anything once or twice ... but we all do it. Unless your name is Martha Stewart or Rachel Ray .. we all eventually fall back on our 8-10 favorite "meals"
So i thought - if we shared some of our own go-to meals with each other ... we might be able to add a few "new" ones to our own arsenal of meals.
So again - I ask you ...
What's for dinner tonight ?
Please give me something new to add to my rotation ... its our weekly shop tomorrow - so i want to pull together a few idea's and try and eat a meal each day next week that I've never had before .. or at least something that is not on my current "go-to" meal plan.
What meal do you always seem to fall back on in your house ? Maybe its something that I've never tried or not had in a while. I need inspiration !! I've got a blank shopping list in front of me - and nothing sounds good .. HELP !

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Recently had a Hopper 3 installed and noticed that I have a green bar at the top of my screen, also occasionally a thin green line on the right side. I have tried switching hdmi ports on the tv as well as different cables. My only thought is that it is the age of the TV. Thoughts and suggestions?

Ok, but I'm not disagreeing with that. All I am saying is I'm not surprised they're getting more and more for their programming, and it makes sense to maximize the value while at it's most popular - with no signs of it waning.
In response we've gotten:
- The government should largely ruin the sport by repealing the antitrust exemption because billionaires are bad - ignoring the harm it would do to both players and fans
- Drop NFLST 25% because there's 1 less game on Sundays
Speaking of maximizing revenue, Fox picked up the rights to broadcast games in Mexico.
