Im not sure if anyone remembers the problems dish had with the 1000.4 when it came out, it would never tune in, lots of locals had the blue screen, and the only way to tune it in was with my trusty super buddy.

i posted that

Dish network receivers arent meant for tuning there meant for checking signal. Alot of the time you will pass a good signal before it will even show up on screen. Now before some one gets a big stick and tries to hit me i will say it can still be done but you have to be very very slow, just...

And lastly dish receiver are not meant to tune in dishes they are meant for checking signal, they have a huge lag when tuneing so when you have it tuned in your already past the right spot, remember boys and girls your aiming a 2 ft across pice of metal at something the size of a dinner plate...

and you cant get the 118.7 of of a 1000 dish has to be a 1000 plus just remember fss and dbs sats

And a quick not with the dpp44 switch if you go more than 100 150ft you will start fryin stuff
