I decided to break this off of my post install and let you guys give me your opion. Below is listed equiptment and the issue I found using dish pointer. You can read through or ignore the ignore parts. Gives a little more backgound. Just look at the this is what I got and this is what it says part. One member said the fortec signal bounce or something is in the way. So next week I'm going to re-align using my satpros dsr-500. That is what I used orig. Any other help would be nice. My zip is 83201 Pocatello, ID. If you come up with something else.
This is what I got-------->Everything is geosatpro except the fortec mercury II receiver. It has the bullet lnbf, the gs-120 motor and the dish (believe it is 39" cannot remember). The place i ordered it from basicly gave me a good deal and it came from satellite av. If I would have known that. I would have ordered it direct. Anway shipping was great. From Satellite av to me was like 3 days fedex. This was like three years ago.
Ignore-------->When I first put up the dish it was great. Then after a couple of wind storms or something the signal went down. I did the string test. Redid and rechecked all the settings. Checked the cables you know go straight to lnbf. No dice. So then I moved.
Ignore-------->Now on the new setup it finds sats asap. But the signal is something else. I will try to play with it next week. Some of the transponders are at 60. Most are some place between and like rtn was 30 or slightly above. I know there is a sweat spot. But when I adjust the dish. Tigthen it down I loose it.
This is what it says and what I'm pointed at--------> I used sadoun website (says powered by dish pointer) and got something interesting using the motor settings. The setting I'm using is for a stab 90. But years ago when I used the sheet that was sent to me. Those numbers worked. But when I looked it up now. It says my settings should be 42.9 for the motor and 23 for the dish (using the geosat 120). But I was closer to the stab 90 but off. Currently at 49 for the motor and 38 for the dish. Give or take you know after setting. (I also have a signal meter) Yes the pipe is level all around.
Ignore---------->Don't know what to say. Maybe next week I'll mark what I have and redo the dish and motor to the gs120 settings. Would help if I could find my old paper work. After all of this time before I moved. I could have 100% messed it up and no relized it. (remeber put marks when you are done. Sadly I did not) So after the first coulple of windstorms.
Anyway Thanks,
Josh

Hi Tron, I'd like to add another candidate to your list of stb's, in regards to these two qualities highlighted above, there's another receiver that seems to be forgotten and overlooked and that's a Captive Works 600S Premium. My second stb was one of these CW's and still today I cherish it's reliability and unique features mainly for these two qualities. I've tried using a number of other stb's for dish aiming, I own at least 20 receivers and everytime I turn back to my CW600SP. Years ago I had to install 3rd party f/ware to fix the AC3 audio bug and also discovered it added an audible sound for signal detection as well, the OSD is easy to see even on a small field test TV and the tuner is stable and sensative to lock even the weak sigs. The blind scan is useless but thats the only con I can recall. I use my CW for every field job and it's proven itself each time and again.

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

You should have looked in the APP STORE instead.

Several Dish offers showed up today in my account. Once you choose one the rest are removed. Offers were Showtime, Starz, AMC and others.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.
You have a different offer that is free for a shorter timeframe which is different than the one that I and bnewt saw without defining the promotion period as I sent the question to DISH Care via Facebook Messenger and this is the response I got back 20 minutes ago.

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big cityAnother Tulsa King spin off.
Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.
