Hi guys,
I've been doing some searching on the forums and know that what I need to do is possible, but some aspects of it are new to me and I just would like to ask a couple of questions.
I currently have 2 dish 500's. One pointing to 110/119 and the other to 61.5. I'm aware I need to switch over to 61.5 / 72.7 / 77.
My main issue is that due to damage that a 3rd party installer did on the roof, the landlord will not allow any new equipment to be installed. We can maintain what we have, but that's it.
So, I thought my Dish days were over, but found doing some searching that I can use the 110/119 dish to see 61.5/72.7 and the other to grab 77. While some of the posts say it's not the ideal setup, it is my only choice and I'm willing to give it a shot. Since it doesn't seem Dish will do this, I guess I'm on my own to repoint.
Since one dish is already pointing to 61.5, would I be better off moving the dual LNBF from the 110/119 dish over to that one? The 61.5 should remain locked on, and I would have to do some perhaps small adjustments to get a good/adequate signal on both? Then I can put the single LNBF on the other dish and move that one to find 77? Is that a better; or somewhat easier route to go?
Or if anyone has any recommendations, please let me know. I did do some searching here, but aside from people saying its possible, I didn't see much more in detail. And while I have much experience with cabling and such, actually pointing the dishes will be a new endeavor for me.
Overall, I really appreciate any info anyone can offer that will make it go as smooth as possible. Worst case I am sure I could find someone to do it and pay them, but I'd like to make it a learning experience as well. And if I have too many parts left over, and then call someone

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

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....

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
Actually it looks like there are a lot of features new or updated, although most are on a gradual rollout schedule.
