Dish 500 or 1000/1000.2 to receive 61/72 EA

As many satellite configurations that we have seen over the years, it would be nice to keep things simple for some folks. Many people have MPEG-4 receivers now and some like to go camping taking their dishes with them. Some like to have a choice of EA or WA in case of line of sight issues.

Someone told me that they took a 1000.2 and 1000.4 lnb with them to use with their dish. I am thinking that a Dish 500 with a twin lnb or 1000/1000.2 lnb should work for 61.5/72.7 EA or 110/119/129 WA? I know the spacing is a little more on EA but I have read where some have been able to get it to work. Or perhaps the new lnb for 61.5/72.7 would work on 110/119 for some folks? I know in the past when 77 was used for local channels before they were put on 61.5 that many had to use the triple lnb for EA. Now most markets are on 61.5 and don't need 77.

Wow, I didn't know that 61.5/72.7 worked with a Dish 500. What is the skew? I live in Texas and I don't know where you are...that would be great for LOS issues here, we only use the 1000.2 EA to get those sats and the 1000.2 EA LNB won't work with SD receivers.

Say what??? The issue isn't the lnb for EA. If you have an older receiver (mpg2) the issue is they won't receive mpg4 from the EA satellites.

Say what? Ghetto Boy, I don't think there are many mpeg2 receivers out there, but we don't install new ones anywhere I know of.

Dish sent down word through the FSMs that EA 1000.4 and EA 1000.2 will not work with SD equipment, software issue was the reason for EA.2 and I guess the .4.
On all installs, there are SD and MPEG4 channels received by either arc; so since one group of sats gives SD and HD and so does the other, if there is an issue with EA not working with SD receivers it shouldn't be the signal (SD or MPEG4) that is the issue. So...why the incompatability?
If you have better info than the FSMs please post how you know this.
I have not tried to install any SDs on the EAs either 1000.2 or.4 since I am not experimenting on my own time but installing on a tight schedule, ETA.
WA 1000.2 and .4 do work fine on SD receivers, so I have wondered why not the EAs.

If you want ease for camping and the ability to switch between both WA and EA try to get your hands and the new 1000.2 EA/WA dish assembly and lnbs. may not get your locals dependent on if your locals market utilizes both setups or not we are able to use both in our Pittsburgh locals market and as far as i know and have seen mpeg 4 is the only equipment that will work with EA

For those that get their HD locals on EA 61.5 and their SD locals on WA 129, an lnb that picks up three oribital locations would have to be needed unless you could do without 110 then you could get away with a twin lnb.

You don't install 311, 322, or 625 receivers anywhere?

There's still quite a few MPEG-2 receivers on the market. I wonder what the percentage is on MPEG-2 vs MPEG-4.

Fewer and fewer day by day.
I was thinking we were discussing HD receivers, but I can see the audience is ready to catch any small detail less than perfect.
You got some points there, good for you!

EA are not used for SD per Dishnet instructions, and I only work for them. Not run the company.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

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.

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!!!
