I wonder where all the Dish Network folks are?

Thanks, I wish that was an option for me, but on Hughesnet Satellite, it's not practical.

Yes, I know.

I wonder if Dish will ever get MAV TV back on their lineup? I would hate to have to move to Direct TV just for this one channel, but I may do just that. It seems like no one cares about motorsports on TV any more.

I do pretty much have the same symptoms as DishSubLA is having.

OK, I did some more checking and the volume does always work normally so it must be isolated to the Dish Receiver and also the DVR functions? Of course, the lag problem hasn't re-occurred in a couple of days now. I do have 2 new Dish replacement remotes and I get the same response from them...

Yes, a hard reset does usually help. Yes, a HDD is hooked up. This seems to happen to both of my VIP 211 receivers.

Here lately some days when I press a remote button to change channel, turn up volume, turn on the guide, turn off the receiver, etc. Nothing happens for maybe10 to 30 seconds. Sometimes it may even be a minute or 2. Checked remote, installed new batteries. Receiver is a VIP211. Other times...

No one mentioned the word "free", only that they would help me get one.

I went ahead and ordered one from the Dish website. I don't figure anyone from Dish is giving anything away so $20 isn't too bad for a replacement.

Not sure what I will do. I'm still pissed off about Dish removing MAVTV.

Receiver is a VIP211 silver in color.

Where can I find a replacement Dish Remote #142301? Mine has a few dead buttons.

Getting close to making the dish repairs but the scaler ring is damaged. Anyone know where I can get a flat scaler ring for a BSC 621 ? Or should I just get another LNB and feed horn.?

Oh, I'm not spending any money. Just a little spare time.

After taking the 4 sections apart, It looks like It's not going to be a big deal to re-shape the framework. I'll cut out a plywood profile from a good section to use. I think I can straighten A lot of the bent mesh area and possibly "Sew" it back together with some fine aluminum wire. Maybe I...

Thanks. I thought about that. I'll check it out first.

I decided to dig out a 10' Unimesh dish that I took down years ago. Unfortunately a large tree limb fell on it a long time ago. 2 sections are perfect, but 2 have some damage to them. I'm pretty sure I can re-shape the framework but there are a few tears in the mesh. My question is just how...

Changed the Longitude -1.5 degrees and everything worked out for now. When the weather dries up I'm gonna do some measuring, adjusting, and may swap out the LNBF to a Maverick PLL that I bought. Don't have much to compare to, but the 1978 seems to be pretty easy to use and scans pretty quickly.

I'm using USALS

How do I do that?

Disclaimer: I am a 59 year old FTA novice. Messed around with this stuff years ago and am now giving it another try. This will be a trickle of info. Just received my Manhattan RC-1978 yesterday. Looked quickly over the manual, unplugged my old receiver, and hooked up the new one. Pretty straight...

Thanks for all the info and comments. Gives me something to think about.

I think I'll stick with the Manhattan that I ordered.

Will the V7 and V8 do anything the Manhattan won't do? I'm not against buying one of those too.:)
