    Newbie 1000 upgrade questions...

    I have resolution...I got more then some tweaking....The DISH tech looked at the 1000 and said "That should have been replaced the last time someone was out.." So I now have a 1000.2 and my signal went from 55 - 12 - 36 to 75 - 68 - 46 (Sat's 110/119/129 respectivly). That was a huge gain for...

    Newbie 1000 upgrade questions...

    Wow...I may have some tweaking needs..I checked Transponder 8 across 110-119-129 and came up with: 55 - 12 - 36 for signal strength. Sat 119 seems low to me with a reading of 12....

It's too bad I can't...

    Newbie 1000 upgrade questions...

    Hi Laddyboy, thanks for the response back...do you have any thoughts on signal gain going from a 1000 to a 1000.2?? I believe the 1000.2 is a tad wider (size-wise)...I haven't had time to measure my 1000 so I don't know by how much. Maybe I should have posted asking how folks are doing in the...

    Newbie 1000 upgrade questions...

    Hi folks, I'm looking for some tips or thoughts on upgrading my old 1000 to either a 1000.2 or a 1000 plus. I have two things driving this upgrade: 1) I'm planning on adding a third receiver which I expect will call for a switch like the DPP44 2) My 1000 doesn't seem to have the best signal...
