Before the latest switch to digital the station was fine on the Dish OTA tuner. After the switch a couple of weeks ago I lost the station on the Dish tuner..it shows up as 17-1 and should be 18.1 (at least that is what it was before). Signal strength is 80-90. The dish guide shows it as Digital...

I was hoping that when the station went from 19 back to 12 on Feb.17 it would solve the problem but it did nothing. The signal strength bounces all over the place. If I bypass the dish box and go directly to the TV the signal strength is max on the TV and the picture is fine. I did discover...

I don't have a problem if I connect it directly to the TV tuner. It maxes the signal meter on it. I say 95+ beacuse I have never seen it hit 100. The meter zooms up, the picture comes up and a second or too later the meter drops down in 20-30 point increments until it is gone. It doesn't seem...

I'have a CM 4228 pulling digital stations from 90 miles away. I put a CM preamp on it to get the weaker stations and all was good with my Samsung 4665 TV, One station was very strong to start with (didn't need the amp) but it helped a lot on the others. After swithcing to dish I noticed that...

Make sure you are tuned to the ACTUAL channel number on the box and not the VIRTUAL channel number. See TVFool.com for more info. You will get a bar across the bottom when it finds something. The digitals may display a channel on your TV but it may not be the actual channel number. (i.e. channel...

I tried to get the dish alighned using the described procedure and got no where. I knew buy coveing with foil where 110 was and 129 was but I could not get 119. I spilt the difference between the teo and searched in small increments (0.5-1.0 deg on azi and ele) but no luck. I was using the...

Having been on Dish for less than a week (coming from C-Band 4DTV) I was shocked at how loud the dish adds where. Everything has and did go through an Onkyo receiver and it blasts when the adds come on. Nothing like ruining a perfectly good NAP !!

Buy a Logitech Harmony Remote. Their database has the codes for everything and you have one remote control !! My 612k works great with it..no programming required.

Installer aligbed the dish again and it is now right between the lines and at 1/2 the azimuth values I had found for 110 and 129. Aparently you have to run check switch before you can see the signal ??? I was in dish pointer mode the whole time and never thought of rechecking the switch...

I may do that but it was Sunday and I would rather be able to maintain myself. Jim.... turn 11 degrees from when I had 110 on center or 129 on center. Thanks

The center lnb is uncovered and I am using transponder 1 that shows up as "footprint" when receiving 119 on the other lnb. It is the strongest transponder. I have tried 1 or 2 degrees more in elev., guess i could try more. P.S. Does the skew have an affect when you are only trying to get one...

I have the 1000.2 and I am getting 129 on the center LNB and one 119 on the left (when looking from behind). The azimuth setting here was 44. I marked the pole here. I adjusted the dish to the left and found 110 on the center LNB at azimuth of 36. I marked the pole here. With only the center...

I tried the aluminum foil trick and I am getting 129 on the center lnb and 119 on th right one, while facing the back of the dish. So I should rotate the dish further south to get them lined up correctly??? I have been trying this but I can't get 119 on the center lnb :(

I had a 1000.2 dish installed late Friday for Turbo HD with locals etc. and after the installer left we realized that the 110 satellite was missing. I have it on a pole that is "almost" plumb. The bubble is moved over slightly to one of the grid lines on the level. The pole is pointing slightly...

Let me know how this works out for you and how much the 722 costs. I'm thinking of doing about the exact same package. Thx
