I apologize for my lack of knowledge, not finding the thread I need. I suppose I've installed 4-5 new dishes and LNBs over the years, never a problem. My current set up is a 500+ with 3 lnb's and 2 VIP 211z receivers. Been working for 4-6 years. When first installed I had all the locals and HD channels and Check Switch at that time showed locks on 119 port 1, 110 port 2, and 129 port 3. I lost the locals and HD around 3 years ago. Now all I get is SD and just a few in HD and no locals. Been too lazy to crawl up on the roof.

I'm tired of watching blurred SD and recently I decided to buy a new 1002.2 Hybrid and get on the roof and get the HD working. I bought the new dish, turns out that only works with the Hopper.....useless. I'm not interested in recording anything or buying a Hopper. The 211's work good enough. So.....I'll try to zero the 500+ back in but can seem to find 129. I can get good locks on 119 and 110 but no 129. A couple hurricanes have blown though over the years and must have moved it, I guess.

I have a signal on 119 and 110, zero on 129. I run Check Switch and get a firm warning that I have fewer Sats than before and saving the results could cause loss of channels. I assume the 129 is missing and don't save results for fear of screwing it up completely.

So....A few questions....Will I lose what I got by saving the switch results? I think not, it'll probably show 119, 110, and no 129 but I want someone to tell me it's OK to save results. It would probably be helpful to know what sats are on what ports before you can tell me whether to move the dish east or west to find 129. Maybe I've got a blown lnb on the 129 side???? If so, could someone tell me the LNB part number or name so I get the right one?

Thanks in advance

No palm trees, cut them down myself. Clear LOS.

I do recall having a lock on all required Sats back then. The third Sat was probably the 118.7.

Invoice says - DISH 500+ With NEW Integrated 119\c 118.7 110 LNBF, bought it in 2014 from Dish Depot in FL. The owner retired and closed up shop. Ran a great business. Man, time flies, I'll be dead soon. So it is an international version. Let's just say I'm on an island just slightly out-of-bounds on the perimeter of a spot beam for locals.

Recently I was trying to figure out where my HD went and read something about a 129 Sat that carries the HD. I ran a check switch test and there 129 was on port 3 but no signal. Must have picked it up after a power outage reset or something. I did run another check and saved results per Hipcat's advice. 119 port 1, 110 port 2, nothing on port 3.

I suppose DISH launched a new 129 SAT about the time I lost locals and HD and I didn't get the memo. Is the 118.7 still there? Is it still used? Regardless, it appears I have issues. What's the fix? I'd prefer to get the 500+ working. Blow some money on two new hoppers and use the new 1000.2 hybrid? They still using the authorization cards in the Hopper? Will the cards in my 211's work? Yeah.....I'm an idiot.

That LNBF has an input port that can be used to add a fourth satellite (usually 129). There is an upgrade kit that comes with the arm to attach the single Dish Pro LNB for the 129 satellite. You run a short cable from that add-on LNB to the input port on your 500+ LNB. That would upgrade your dish to a 1000+.

Is the 118.7 still there? Is it still used?
118.7 is still there, and is still being used for international channels, for at least a couple more years. If you are unable to get the signal, it may be due to you being too far outside the beam. Otherwise, your dish may be slightly warped from the hurricanes that passed through. 118.7 requires a bigger reflector to tune it in, due to the 118.7 signal being weaker to begin with. So, the slightest thing could throw that off, while not affecting the other satellites as much.

Blow some money on two new hoppers and use the new 1000.2 hybrid?
I'm pretty sure the Hybrid LNB would also work with Wally, if you wanted something more similar to your current 211's.

They still using the authorization cards in the Hopper? Will the cards in my 211's work?
The cards from your 211's cannot be transferred to any other receiver. Each replacement receiver (if one is needed) would come with its own card.

Googling " Dish Pro LNB for129 Satellite" gets very few results and all used. The one with a bracket I did find on Ebay looked like it was pulled from a junk yard. Oddly Googling any Dish components to buy doesn't cough up much. You'd think for all the advertising they do their products would be everywhere and easy to purchase. The 1000.2 I bought on Amazon has an LNB that doesn't look like anything I've seen on the web, I think it's a knock-off. Is there a one-stop-shop for all things Dish that carry new products and not knocked off?
IMG_0710.jpg

I have several old dishes. Couldn't I put that single 129 LNB on another dish and run a cable to the 500+ LNB? Seems like work and cobbled mess though.
118.7 is still there, and is still being used for international channels, for at least a couple more years. If you are unable to get the signal, it may be due to you being too far outside the beam.

So, the slightest thing could throw that off, while not affecting the other satellites as much.
When I set up the 500+ the 118 was the most difficult signal to capture and the best I could do was half the signal strength of 110 and 119. It's touchy and hard to lock on. I was on the roof last week......can't get a whiff of the 118.
I'm pretty sure the Hybrid LNB would also work with Wally, if you wanted something more similar to your current 211's.
I've had to relearn all the DISH products, I didn't know what a Wally or Joey is. The Wally appears to be a receiver without all the bells and whistles of the Hopper at a fraction of the price. I'm fine with that. The Joey won't work, internet is glitchy here and data is expensive.

I'm the thinking the simplest solution is to use the 1000.2 and get a couple Wally's. But...the company I bought the 1000.3 Hybrid tells me "Keep in mind this dish version you purchase is ONLY for the new hopper." Is that correct or are you sure the Wally will work also?

You did mention concern about the 1000.2 having a smaller reflector. FWIW it's the same size as my 500+.

The cards from your 211's cannot be transferred to any other receiver. Each replacement receiver (if one is needed) would come with its own card.

I'm not really sure about the LNB since I use a DPH42 switch. I do know that having both a Hopper 3 and a Wally connected to that switch at the same time works. So, since Wally will work with a Hybrid switch, I assume it would also work with a Hybrid LNB as long as there is not a Hopper 3 also attached to that LNB.
Here it is! Confirmed!
The Wally will work with a hybrid LNBF. Connect the coax to port 1.
So, are you saying that the Hybrid LNBF will only work with one Wally, or simply that if you only have one Wally then it must be connected to port 1? I'm just asking since Bonefishr is considering getting two of them.

2 Wally's on a hybrid LNB would require a channel stack splitter.

Yep, Hybrid receivers (HoppDuo, H3, Wally) disable port 2 on a Hybrid LNBF. Channel stack splitters to split port one out or a DPP LNBF would be better if the OP does not want to future-proof/upgrade to a Hopper latter. Given he already has a Hybrid slimline a channel stack splitter would be the way to go, here are some links to some.

4-way Amazon View: Amazon product ASIN B092Y8BWS3View: https://www.amazon.com/Dish-Channel-Stack-4-Way-Splitter/dp/B092Y8BWS3
4-way dishformyrv DISH Channel Stack 4-Way Splitter
2-way solidsignal DISH 2-Way Stackable Commercial Splitter for DPH42 Switch (ES009714)

The most optimal would be to use a 2-way if only two Wally's are wanted, only issue is that the only one I found was on solidsignal, which tends to have outrageous shipping fees since they use UPS exclusively. So unless you are buying more items from SS to make the shipping more reasonable, I would just get a 4-way splitter and add terminators to the unused ports

For 118 satellite you need a min 30" diameter dish, like a 1000+ not sure if a 500+ is just the same reflector as 1000+ which just used a bracket and a single lnb for 129 I had a 1000+ but later I upgrade to H3 I got a new 1000.2 with Hybrid LNB. I do my own installs and dish alignment. I have a AI XR-3 Meter

Okay, so it sounds like some other options are:
  • Use the Hybrid LNB (assuming Bonefishr also has the correct bracket for mounting a Slimline Hybrid LNB) and continue using the ViP211z's, since that receiver model would not disable the second output from the LNB.
  • Continue to use the 500+ dish (after upgrading it to a 1000+ dish by adding the 129 LNB) and add a DPH42 switch to be able to support two Wally and/or future-proof the system for an upgrade to a Hopper system later.
  • Same as the last option, but simply use the switch that is built-into the 500+ LNB, which should also be able to support either two Wally or two ViP211z's.

Due to security concerns and the fact that the Tapatalk Plugin for Xenforo is no longer being updated we have removed Tapatalk support from SatelliteGuys.

For those who were using it we recommend using our PWA App instead which is faster and does not have all the spam Tapatalk had. Below is a graphic showing how to add SatelliteGuys to your devices home screen. (While iOS is shown the process is mostly the same for Android.)

I have had good experiences with Brave but lately I am frustrated with it.

Now when I launch the app it shows a box at the bottom asking if I want to go back to the last opened page. It is in conveniently located and I would prefer to eliminate it.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Please let's not sidetrack the discussion into an exploration of why I don't care for it or a lecture about all the wonderful aspects of the feature. I just do not care for it.

I don't have an Android phone so I don't know if this will apply to the Brave settings on your android device but it works on the desktop for me.

Change this setting to either startup to a different website or a new tab page. I have mine set to open to google.com instead of where I left off and it doesn't ask me at the next startup if I want to open the last opened page unless it crashed.

Hello everyone.

I am new here and I done a search on MLB Extra Innings and DISH and it led me to this forum and so I signed up and hopefully someone can help me out with some issues.

First off, I am a DISH Outdoors customer and I signed up for service back in late October of 2025. I have a Wally HD Receiver and I am using the DISH Playmaker OS 2.1 as my Antenna that operates on 110 and 119 Western Arc and Alternative 61.5, 110, and 119 satellites. I signed up for MLB Extra Innings back in March before the season began. I was excited to be able to watch MLB Extra Innings because I love baseball and I use to have MLB Extra Innings on Satellite DIRECTV back in 2001-2004 and on Satellite DISH back in 2016 and 2017.

I was a bit disappointed when I found out that it is actually MLB.TV Simulcasted to DISH Satellite (More on that later) Anyways I have been watching faithfully almost every night however about a week ago there was a problem. When I went to go to the game to watch a game the game wouldn't come in an I would send a refresh signal to my receiver and then I could watch the programming and when I went to switch games at that games appointed time slot my Wally HD Receiver who lockup where I couldn't change any channels or view the guide and it would reboot. The next night when I turned to a game at game start it still had the background it shows before the game started and again send a refresh signal and went though this same thing over and over. I added a movie channel to my lineup and had issues with showing up my Dish Wally HD Receiver.

With an investigation after several calls with DISH Support it was determined that by going to the diagnostics screen that I had a issue with my Tuner because any changes that I made to my programming these changes would not take affect on the Wally HD Receiver. In other words that Wally HD Receiver was toast!

I too had reported MLB Extra Innings issue to DISH and they created a ticket for it and said that someone would investigate the issue. I too took notice that under MyDISH account under MLB Extra Innings always before it would show that I was subscribed and on auto-renew. Now it shows nothing and even after logging out and deleting my User Name and Password so that I can see it in guest mode it too doesn't even list a price and option for purchase as does the now WNBA League Pass.

After my DISH Receiver was ruined I had to buy a new Wally HD Receiver. I took advantage an bought 2 HD Wally's and added them both to my account. I called back to remove the old box off of the account and was told it was linked to MLB Extra Innings and the advanced technical support team said there was a glitch with MLB Extra Innings and hope to have a resolution in a couple of days and I could call back in to then to remove the box. But both the 2 new Wally HD Receivers are activated on my account. I asked them what the problem was with MLB Extra Innings and how long it would be and I was told there was a glitch as I asked to specify what they meant and got no answer. I again went and checked the MyDISH account page under the MLB Extra Innings page and it still doesn't list me as subscribed and after logging out and deleting my User Name and Password so I could it see it as a guest mode and it still doesn't list the price and option for purchase as it does for the WNBA League Pass.

I am afraid to boot up these boxes and go through the activation screen process because of the issues with the MLB Extra Innings in fear it will do the same or mess up my boxes from being able to receive MLB Extra Inning because or any other programing because I was told that MLB Extra Innings wouldn't come in on those new box because it was activated with the Wally that is ruined and it needs removed first.

Now I have no DISH service going on a week and miss my MLB Extra Innings when the races are just heating up and now with two boxes activated I can't boot up because I am afraid it will mess them up and I will be out the $180.00 or so dollars I made in purchase on the receivers.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with their MLB Extra Innings and does anyone really know what this so called glitch actually is? I can't seem to get a clear answer from anybody and don't even know if it will even be fixed or anyone really understands it.

Now to my previous statement on how I was disappointed that MLB Extra Innings is actually MLB.TV in simulcast. When I had MLB Extra Innings before with DIRECTV in 2001-2004 and with DISH form 2016 and 2017. They would always show the commercials for every teams broadcast from their local market and all games would be authentic just as if you were watching in their home market. After I quit DISH I went to streaming for awhile and I done MLB.TV and I hated their features because of the no commercials, the delayed times of getting back after the commercial break, and not being able to listen to what studios had to say when they would cut into the studios, and always looking at the screen during commercial breaks with a screen that says commercial break in progress and a silhouette background of MLB Players doing baseball things and the their crazy commercial breaks sound. I was excited to go back to DISH thinking I escaped the horrors of MLB.TV. Well its actually the same thing. I compared them side by side and actually MLB.TV is ahead by just a few seconds. So actually MLB Extra Innings on Satellite is delayed from time period wise from actually watching MLB.TV which shows it is simulcasted. My question is when did this start? And is this legal? This isn't what I know MLB Extra Innings to be. I too had signed up for NHL Center Ice this past winter and thank goodness its authentic! They still have the commercials and its like watching it as you were in their home network and its the way it oughta be even if you only do get one feed of NHL Center Ice per team on DISH and don't know which feed it is every night.

Looking forward to your responses. So far happy with DISH but unhappy with this last week and the ruining of a Wally HD Receiver.

I hope I can be of some contribution here as well.

Sincerely,

I know they are doing some major satellite work - the second satellite at 110 which is now in use, and they are moving channels between 119 and 110. Maybe since there are no other sports going on, have they temporarily cut back on the out of market sports packages? I am not sure. It looks like those channels are all coming from 119 TP 13, 110 TP 12, and 110 TP 09.

Also, Dish's Scheduled Satellite Maintenance page doesn't have anything going on:

Trying to get use to this forum and where everything is located at. I saw you responded from my post on the changes and took me a while to get back to see this post. But yes, it is exactly what I was thinking. I too noticed the change of MLB Extra Innings from 110 to 119. Because of 30 teams they have to algin everything. Only other sport going on PPV wise is WNBA League Pass and I do not have a subscription to that but maybe some else who has it can confirm what they done and what satellite and transponders they are on.

This is a big shift for DISH. I just hope if Charlie Ergen does ever sell out to anyone that I can continue to use my DISH Playmaker and I can keep my Wally's. If its anything like what happened to DIRECTV a few years back which turned out to be a total disaster when AT&T acquired DIRECTV nothing there changed with boxes or anything and you continued to use the same service but I was very surprised to see AT&T sell it to TPG especially after they had just bought it now long ago.

Update on MLB Extra Innings as of 5:50 P.M. CDT June 10, 2026...

I am getting tired of not being able to watch any baseball games and having paid for MLB Extra Innings and not knowing what the reason is I called dish back at 1-800-333-3474. I guess after all of my calls my call was routed to the Advanced Technical Support Team. I had something happen that I never knew they could do and they gained access into my Wally Receiver. I was told settings look good and right now on the only channel that shows is the MLB1 Baltimore Orioles Channel. They are playing the at home against the Seattle Mariners right now. She was able to access to that channel which prompted a purchase a Rent option. That signaled a red flag to her right away. She escalated a ticket with photographs and info from my screen to the top tier advanced programing technical department and told me they received the ticket and are reviewing it now. They got back to her and said they would have information within 30 minutes. I either get the channels within 30 minutes or I am to call back and they will advance from there. Seems like maybe my persistence is paying off. I will keep you informed. Maybe we can all have a resolution to this shortly.

She escalated a ticket with photographs and info from my screen to the top tier advanced programing technical department and told me they received the ticket and are reviewing it now. They got back to her and said they would have information within 30 minutes. I either get the channels within 30 minutes or I am to call back and they will advance from there. Seems like maybe my persistence is paying off. I will keep you informed. Maybe we can all have a resolution to this shortly.

Update on MLB Extra Innings as of 5:50 P.M. CDT June 10, 2026...

I am getting tired of not being able to watch any baseball games and having paid for MLB Extra Innings and not knowing what the reason is I called dish back at 1-800-333-3474. I guess after all of my calls my call was routed to the Advanced Technical Support Team. I had something happen that I never knew they could do and they gained access into my Wally Receiver.

Final Update... As of 8:08 P.M. CDT June 10, 2026.

I now have MLB Extra Innings back! Look at the photo! (I did not include full image of the game due to copyright)

Let me just say it was rough! Very rough! And lets just say Charlie Ergen should be ashamed of his customer service team and how they handled this whole issue.

After multiple calls after my last post only to get the run around with answers like there are no refunds on MLB Extra Innings once the season starts, to they are working on it, to accessing my screen and sending multi hits to the box.

All I asked was one simple question remove the MLB Extra Innings which they confirmed I had and reauthorize free of charge. I was given a 1,000 reasons why this couldn't be done.

Well..........

I paid for it myself.... $120.00 current rate and it works!

I called back in to let them know what I done and what I thought of the customer service and told them I needed refunded. I was told they didn't do refunds....

Well again I called back and got someone who refunded the original payment of $150.00 back to my account. A $30 discount for all the hard trouble I went though.

It is now up to you all out there that have MLB Extra Innings to try to get them to do this but I am afraid you are going to have to take your own action and purchase again and beg for a refund or be out the $150.00 originally paid.

Persistence pays off. I don't give up very easily.

You can all go here below to make the purchase if you have any trouble.


I hope it all works well for you! And best of luck to everyone who has it!

I will still be around on this forum. You all sound like a fine group of people! I hope I can contribute more.

Take care!

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 was bewildered with all the new DISH TV "Bonus View" channels, so I put together a web page table with all the info I could find. It's at:

https://anythingpeaceful.org/dishtv/DISH_TV_Bonus_View_Channels.html

Here's a partial screenshot of the table, as sorted by Channel Name. (You can click on a column header to sort.)

One added, one removed. But I think it's really only a name change, with similar (or identical?) programming.
