My dish pro fades out easy when it rains. Here are my options as I see it:
1. Keep the Dish Pro Add one bigger fixed dish with one LNB canableized from the Dish Pro. Then, tweak the current dish pro to better pick up the rest.
2. Keep the Dish Pro dual and add two bigger fixed dishes each with a canableized LNB.
3. Throw out the Dish pro and get three bigger dishes with each looking at a bird.
The first question is, will tweaking the Dish Pro to look at fewer satellites ever add enough signal strength to permit keeping it
If not, then option 3 seems to be the only reasonable answer. I live in central N. Carolina.
.The second question is, how big should added dishes be to virtually guarantee NO rain fade 99.8% of the time
I would rather spend more bucks to go bigger than risk not quite doing the job.
Is anything less than a 4' dish likely to make me happy
6' 7' 8' dish , "daylight come an me wan go home" !!!!
Current dish pro has one dual lnb and two single lnb's which = 4 but
. 110 + 119 + 129 = 3 lnb's What the heck is # 4 for? Excuse my ignorance.
I think the dual is for 110 and 119. All 4 go into a dpp 44 switch.
I have 3 receivers. 522, 722, and an FTA. but only the 722 (1st floor) is connected via a separator. I plan to get another separator for a second existing cable to the 522 on the 2nd floor. If I want to switch the TV connected to the 522 to the FTA should I put a splitter before the 522 separator and send one splitter leg to the FTA
... OR... should I go to the trouble to run another cable from the dpp-44 into my crawl space, up through a two story pvc pipe into my attic and then down to the 2nd story room containing the 522 and FTA.
. Thanks for all advice.

here is another ...
Rain fade is an interruption of wireless communication signals as a result of rain or snow droplets whose separation approximates the signal wavelengths. The phenomenon can affect satellite Internet connections as well as satellite television and other systems.
Most satellite communication takes place in the microwave portion of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Signals at these wavelengths, typically on the order of a few inches, are affected by heavy concentrations of water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere. When the mean distance between water droplets or crystals is comparable to the wavelength of the electromagnetic signals, severe attenuation can occur. The observed effect is a degradation or loss of communications during heavy downpours, snow squalls, and blizzards.
Rain fade usually does not last long. Once a heavy shower or squall has passed, normal communications returns. However, during tropical storms or severe winter storms at northern latitudes, fadeouts can persist for hours at a time. The phenomenon occurs with all types of satellite systems, including geostationary (GEO), low-earth-orbit (LEO), and medium-earth-orbit (MEO). It can also affect the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Perception?
And what did you perceive to be the problem when you had the Perception issue. Could you see that it was precipitation between you and the sat?

Does someone still have the diagram showing how to connect two Hopper 3s again?
I currently have one H3 and one 4K Joey, set up through a 1000.2 eastern arc hybrid lnb and solo hub.
The plan is to replace the Joey with the second H3. Already purchased a duo hub and I have three coax cables coming in from outside, from back when I used to have the older 1000.4 dish and the hopper 2. I don't fully remember, but I think the other two coax cables are just tied up next to the dish outside; will have to check again.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

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....

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.
