HBO from 61.5?

[devinder]

Hi,
I have only 61.5 dish and my programming guide displays only international channel. Is it possible to get HBO, Cinemax from the same receiver? If yes how? Can I get free preview channels when available?

Thanks

You would need a Dish 500 and depending on what lnb your 61.5 has ( legecy or Dp) a switch for 119/110 to get HBO/Max. and yes you could get the free preview coming up...

I had a twin lnb (110 and 119) , but I was having problems since the cold weather started. The dish guy came and replaced it with legacy switch. With 110/119 switch the reciever box did not displayed any connection to 61.5 or 110 or 119. It had X only marks.

So it looks like i had chances previously to get it and not anymore and i will have to upgrade my dish for that.

thanks

If you do a year commitment, you can get an upgrade at a discounted price.

Make sure that all the LNBs (110,119,61.5) and switches are the same series
(example: legacy or dishpro).
