Hello,
Thank you starting to read this.
Location : SF Bay area, california
Last year, I bought an antenna (dish small) along with a dvb mpeg2 receiver from craigslist and was able to connect to 148 orbital location [based on what I see in the installation screens.] and was able to subscribe to a couple of international channels for a few months. So far so good.
This year when I called dish, they said, I need to upgrade and get $199 to get a different set of International channels. Dish network site says these are in 121 satellite.
Again I went to craigslist and bought a 32inch dish with Ku-band LNB. I replaced the old dish with the new 32 inch dish. Same cables, same reciever.
I am unable to hook up to any satellite. First of all, am I on the right track ? Can I make this work ? Should I get a new receiver or would the same configuration work ?
If you have read this far, thanks again for taking time.
Thank You,
G.

You need a superdish to pick up 121 but that uses a DP LNB which isn't compatible with the 4900 unless you use a DP adapter that will cost as much as another receiver. The 118.7 can be received with either a dish 500+(plus) or a 1000+ again it will use Dish Pro LNBs which aren't compatible with your receiver. I think your first post said that DISH would install a system for $199, take them up on it.

I bought the fixed color version of these bulbs for my store several years ago...work great and no more replacing ballast. Finally had one go out and when I went back to Amazon I saw that now they come in selectable versions so no more guess work as to what color light would do best in a certain area. They are now double OR single ended...used to be strictly one way or the other. If any of you are looking at replacing the old style 4 or 8 ft bulbs, you might want to give these a try. The 8 footers are BRIGHT. I put 5 in my shooting/target shed and you can get a decent tan if you are in there long enough.

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.

Just doing a big security update on the server, may slow down then again it may not. Just wanted to warn you guys. 
Ok the update is complete.
Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Love Tony in Charge as director. Liked how the Secretary of Navy told him that the press release about him being the new director of NCIS had went out an hour ago. See you on Monday! when she left. I hate the LaRoche guy and wanted him to get taken down. He reminded me of Pete Hegseth the way he looked and his haircut.
I originally thought that Tim had shot LaRoche .... awhile back when they had that dispute about who was going to Win, when they had him as Dirty ... was I thinking someone else ?

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

On Tuesday, I recorded the first episodes of the new season's NCIS shows on CBS (Dish provided, not OTA). The new New York series and Origins will both do Auto Skip, but the original, now season 24 does not. What's stranger, when I do a search for NCIS, Origins and New York show the current recording and the next episode it will record, but the original show only shows the current recording and some other channel showing the very first episode of season one. It makes no sense. When I set up the timers, I was able to use search for Origins and New York, but for the original, I had to scroll ahead in the guide until last Tuesday when the show was airing. Then set the timer from there. You can see its timer type is DVR where the other two are Seek. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Thanks!
