    So Dish will take the 301 that they own & give them a leased one?

    Filipino Mega Pack. What is the minimum dish requirement?

    I had this up & running for my grand folks then their owned 301 receiver dies. I called customer service. They will send a replacement receiver (non-upgrade) along with a recovery kit for the dead one. I was assured this "swap" will not generate a commitment/contract. Can anyone confirm...

    Filipino Mega Pack. What is the minimum dish requirement?

    Thats why I'm so puzzled. 118.7 sigs are 65 to 75% but 119 sigs are around 30 to 38%. I've done fine skew adjustments as well. I guess I need to check the connectors next.

    Filipino Mega Pack. What is the minimum dish requirement?

    Thanks! I plan to eventually (when I can borrow a 20 ft ladder & have a full afternoon available) elevate their dish so LOS to 110, 119 & 118.7 is clear. For now a good signal on 118.7 will do as the software updates will still download from 119 even if the signal is marginal.

    Filipino Mega Pack. What is the minimum dish requirement?

    They do have a basic $10 core package but will only tune to 4 channels that's on 118.7 (tp's 1 & 20). Can anyone confirm whether the program guide & other upgrades are mirrored on the 118.7 sat? Both 110 & 119 have partial blockage but 118.7 is clear. Signals are 65 to 75%.

    Filipino Mega Pack. What is the minimum dish requirement?

    Is it possible to just connect the receiver directly to the 118.7 lnb out? They just want to watch the Filipino channels 24/7. They have the minimum $10 base package with no locals. Thanks!

    Filipino Mega Pack. What is the minimum dish requirement?

    My grandparents were refused installation due to LOS issues. A local satellite contractor quoted them an arm & a leg for a custom install. Typical scheister trying to take advantage of the elderly. I want to do a self-install (knowledgeable with DirecTV parts but clueless with DishNetwork)...

    World Direct LNB just died...

    Hello all. Been a registered member for a while but 1st time posting. My mother-in-law's World Direct LNB just died. It's an Eagle Aspen P170 linear LNB (which no one carries of course). Any standard or universal FSS LNB out there that might work as a replacement? I know that I may have...
