    Is Dishnetwork possible??

    My daughter had the same situation down in the St Louis area at her apartment with Directv. Dish was able to supply service through the Eastern Arc. Good Luck!!

    How to ask for an Eastern Arc upgrade?

    No.......I actually am going to require the EA due to a LOS due to a tree planted a few years ago. I wanted the local installer because I know him and his install crew, they do an excellent job. I guess less worries when your working with someone you know and trust. There is one very remote...

    How to ask for an Eastern Arc upgrade?

    Well......got some bad news the other day. My local retailer called me after he talked to his contact within Dish. He basically told me that if I want the EA solution I should work through the dish csr and let dish select an installer. It boiled down to the fact that he would have great...

    How to ask for an Eastern Arc upgrade?

    Good luck in your attempt. My only hope, and so far it looks good, is that I have a line of sight issue, I will loose 110 and 119 in a matter of months due to tree growth. And for HD I can't get 129 because its to low on the horizon, and to many tree's in that direction. Just waitin on my...

    How to ask for an Eastern Arc upgrade?

    That's the way I understand it as well from readings on this board. And.....that's why I am taking a wait and see attitude on the overall process. My locals are on 129 and that's what I expected the Dish rep to tell me during the phone conversation. But, according to them, its not an issue, at...

    How to ask for an Eastern Arc upgrade?

    Well.......the adventure offically started this afternoon. I called Dish and simply explained my situation. The fact that I will soon loose my line of sight to the Western Arc satellites. I then explained that I wanted to upgrade to HD equipment but the WA would not work for me due to the tree...

    How to ask for an Eastern Arc upgrade?

    I do not have any MPEG4 equipment. I have a 501 DVR and two 301's. I realize that I would have to upgrade to MPEG4 gear. At this point I believe all I would need is a single 722K. That would push my 42 plazma and my SD 19 inch in the basement. I also assume that I will have to send all my older...

    How to ask for an Eastern Arc upgrade?

    Thanks for the reply Dishcomm! I am really trying to stay away from more than one dish. My current 500 dish is mounted to a rock solid location, tucked away back in a corner of my house. I am pretty sure it would hold the 1000.4 dish with no problems. I have been a customer with Dish for...

    How to ask for an Eastern Arc upgrade?

    Hi Laddyboy! I was pretty sure SD locals were here in Bloomington but I didn't realize that HD locals had been turned on. I guess that may be bad news for me in attempting to get the EA as we all know that 129 is in the WA. But......what the hell.......all they can say is no, in which case...

    How to ask for an Eastern Arc upgrade?

    Thanks for the replies guys. I also only want one dish mounted on the house. And.....I only want it mounted at the current location of my existing dish which has an excellent view of the EA. I have read many times that switching from the WA to the EA has a lot to do with where your local...

    How to ask for an Eastern Arc upgrade?

    Evening I created a thread on this site a few months ago asking a few questions about Western verses Eastern Arc service through Dish. I have had Dish Network for many years, all SD equipment looking at satellite 110 and 119 via a Dish 500 dish. I have been very pleased with the Dish service...

    Eastern or Western Arc???

    Thanks for the replies guys!! I have a pretty good retailer in the area that I plan on working with. They are close to my location and are willing to talk to me and explain exactly what I would be getting myself into as far as equipment and services. I read about way to many horror stories...

    Eastern or Western Arc???

    Thanks for the reply Laddyboy. My preference would be the EA as the new dish could be installed where my current dish 500 is right now. Its tucked away and out of site. If I go WA I need to relocate the dish to the South end of the house which would lead me to the next question. Is there a...

    Eastern or Western Arc???

    Hello everyone. Got a question for you all. :) Been a Disk customer for many, many years and to be honest I am very happy with the service. I have all SD equipment, a single DVR 501 and two 301 receivers. My single Dish 500 dish looks at 110 and 119. I have always had great picture quality...
