Just purchased a Spuan DMK-55122F 5x12, a Spaun DMK-5508F 5x8 and a Spuan SBK-5502NF Launch Amplifier. Just wanted to see if anyone has used these to do Dish Network setup for satellites 110,118,119,129? I will be running all ViP 211k on this setup.

Why did you get this switch instead of a DPP44?

They work great for commercial, but they are very expensive

He has a 12 way and an 8 way so that is 20 connections which exceeds 3 DPP44s. But 12 dual tuners is 24 TVs, someone that orders $1000 worth of equipment then asks if it will work kinda leaves some questions.

I only paid $75 for it all NIB. I talked to someone at a site that sells them and they told me it would work for what I was doing. I do only commercial installations and use either a stock pile of DP34 I already have or DPP44 with a Sonora launch amp depending on the situation. I have never used this brand but I know someone that has a stock pile of this brand equipment so I want to give it a try to see how it goes. Also it has selector switch's on both switchs and amp for 22k and Diseqc.

Also the DMK-5508F is actually a DMK-5582F. Just noticed the typo.

I've gotten a DP34 to respond to diseqc commands from DVBDream, so it's at least plausible that these Spaun switches would do the right thing. I also tried googling the part numbers, and they do claim Dish support. Do they handle DishPro bandstacked LNBs, or are you stuck with legacy?
Dr3aM
I only use Dish Pro LNB's either the 1000+ or 1000.2 with a "W" LNB bracket and 3 single Dish Pro LNBs.

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....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

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?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
