    Getting EA with existing dishes

    Hi. I have a two 500 dishes- one with a single LNB pointed at 61.5 and the other with a dual LNB pointed at 110/119. Swapped LNB heads and I could see 61.5 but not 72.7. I even moved the dish so other LNB picked up 61.5 (just in case I was using the wrong LNB), but no 72.7. I live in North...

    Strange occurrence with Sat 72...

    I had something similar happen to my 722. While DVR'ing one channel I changed to another channel and got the "signal lost attempting to acquire satellite" screen. Other channels said the same thing and the OTA channels were dark. If I went back the channel being recorded, it would show just...

    Can you get the new HD from DISH?

    Thanks John. I'll make sure I get a dish too. I have two on the roof now so I'd rather replace one than add another.

    Can you get the new HD from DISH?

    No new channels for me. I have two dishes on the roof- 110/119 & 61.5 (129 cannot be seen from my house). I called Dish and they want $95 to add the eastern arc. They won't let me install the LNB myself. The representative did say that if I add the $6/month maintenance fee the install would go...

    Uplink Activity 6/18/08 2:20 PM EDT = 100 changes

    My mistake. I forgot that they had trouble seeing 129 from my roof so they put up an extra dish to point at 61.5 for HD. Don't pay the $99. You could get a dish pretty cheap on eBay but by the time you got it installed, locals would be available anyway. One good thing I found with Dish is...

    Why not just order local channels now? You'll get the 61.5 dish now and you'll get HD locals automatically when they become available. I did this for the Greensboro, NC locals. I paid for a couple of weeks of locals w/o HD, but I watched HD feeds the evening they became available.

    Dish Network Launches Nesn Hd

    I'm not seeing NESN (either 434 or 5434) in my channel list. I subscribe to the Top 200, have a 722 receiver, pointing to 110, 119, & 129. Dish's web site says it's available on 119 but the uplink report only says EchoStar3 61.5W. Do I need another dish and point it at 61.5? Also- I haven't...

    How high is 61.5's elevation angle?

    HD local's are supposed to be available in April for me and I used it just last week to check my visiibility to 61.5. Glad I could help.

    How high is 61.5's elevation angle?

    Try this web site- Satellite Dish Pointer / Alignment Calculator with Google Maps I put in 61.5 for the satellite's location and selected Cincinnati . It will show you the direction (Azimuth true azimuth: 146.0°) and elevation (38.8°). You can move the location pin or enter your exact...
