My receiver is near the southwest end of the house. The dish is at the NE corner. There is a connection block on the north end of the house. The coax runs from the connection block to the receiver. There is a cable from the dish to the connection block. I can rerun the cable, but it will be...

My HD Turbo dish keep losing connection to my receiver. As long as the receiver is on all is fine once connected. The problem is, sometimes overnight, sometimes after a day or two, I'll turn the receiver on but there will be no signal (eventually complete signal loss will come up). Usually I...

Previously I had a non-hd dish with two non hd receivers. I now have a three lnb hd turbo dish and a single hd receiver. I'm not sure what the switch number was, but it's not running through it now since the dish has an internal switch. I have ran the checkswitch and verified the lnb no...

Is there one app that you recommend over others? I have an Apple 5s. It looks like there are several in the app store: DishPointer Augmented is $9.99; Dispointer AR Pro is $19.00; Sat Dish Pointer is $2.99; Satellite Transponder is free; Satellite Director is free, etc. Thanks

Unfortunately my eastern sky has even more and taller trees that are much closer. So, no. Is the angle for 129 similar to some of the DirectTV internet satellites? The reason I ask is that years ago I had DirectTV at this same house with the internet service through the dish with tv. The...

A while back I posted about not being able to get 129. I have HD Service, an HD receiver and an HD Dish. I was running through an old switch. After getting advice here I removed the switch. It's now running through a grounding block directly to the receiver. I was only getting 119 and 110...

I just ran the address using dishpointer. You are correct, the elevation on dishpointer was 38.7, I have it set on 42. That may be a big part of the problem. The azimuth setting is about 4 points different two, the skew is about 3. I'll try the adjustments, but just so I understand, the turbo...

Trying to get a 211 HD receiver to pickup satellite 129 using a HD Turbo dish. I'm able to get 110 and 119, but not 129. I was using a 311 SD receiver, but tried to upgrade this weekend. I have the dish set according to the setup numbers using the zip code. I tried adjusting the skew and...

I would like to change out one of my stand alone 311 non HD receivers for a stand alone HD receiver (I have a HD dish with an open port). Do I have to buy the new HD receiver from DISH or can I buy it elsewhere on line? I'm assuming it must have some kind of activation from dish linking it to...

Thank you for you help. One more question : ) . . . When I put the receiver on one of the locals, the channel identification comes up with the correct program information at the top of the screen, but then it immediately starts searching for satellite signal. Then a blue screen comes up with...

Thanks. It's one that someone was using for the same locals here. Are you saying that it won't work with a 311 receiver to pickup locals? They were using it with a dual HD receiver I think. Not sure if they had any 311s.

I may have a line on an hd turbo dish that I can stick over there - maybe that will solve the problem.

Thanks. I'll try to tweak (again). I tried the skew, elevation and east/west to no avail over the weekend. I could only get it to work on the original settings (I marked the positions before I started). I'm not sure if I tried 25 on 110, but the ones I did try were low 50s or lower.

Guess I'm back to square one since the check switch doesn't work and I have a connection to 110 and 119. Maybe I am out of the spotbeam. Just odd that the locals were working and now they aren't. I guess I must have been seeing 129 for the HD local channels at home. I'm at a loss.

Where is WCTV Tallahassee broadcast in SD? Is the SD and HD signal coming from different satellites?

The locals are on 129W, spotbeam 51. I might agree with the spotbeam, but they were working, but then just stopped. Now I can't get any connection to 129. It seems like a hardware issue. Otherwise wouldn't I get so signal, but have connection?

I tried running the check switch with no improvement. I still have x's on port 3 with NC, no connection and can't get the locals. The Super Dish has three cables running to a DP34 switch. The funny thing is that the guide shows up to date for the locals, but when you put it on a local channel...

My plan includes locals and I have a turbo HD dish with no worries. I have a dual HD DVR receiver and a couple of single non-hd 311 receivers. I'm working on my friends vacant house about 50 miles away. I spend some weekends over there when working due to the high gas prices. He has an old...
