500 would serve probably the best as it's designed with no compromise like the 1000(.2) to also take in 129. Also a bit more compact with less load on mounting. It's a very old dish at this point, but if we're back to just 110/119, and it uses the DPP Twin, well...

The Triple for 1000.2 WA is DPP, as is the DPP Twin for 500. Either of those will work the same

The service is simply in rapid decline and it's evident they're shedding costs. Yes, there will be plenty of subs now on EA whom they will fail to retain due to inaccessibility to WA. They will likely just be offered an internet service. Cost of sub losses will likely be judged outweighed by...

1000.2 WA or 500 dish, if still aiming to WA and no longer need 118.7. 129 is already defunct.

Just a guess, but with pip it should be able to quickly switch the audio to any

This is digital?

It looked like the pictured one was fiberglass, which wasn't going to work for the mass-installs. I guess you could call the current Triples a "new Superdish" in that they likewise have 3 feeds.

That was a low point for me & DiSH. They went behind my back to switch most of my cx's to this monstrosity.

Well, then put him on to FTA

I always mounted to side if could rather than roof or pole, and masonry was really the easiest.

Everything has to come off if being reroofed where is. Roofers can actually remove & reattach at least a simple single-foot mount and can likely also have the mast be plumb if so instructed, and can re-set the dish/mount onto the mast (if were separated). This should also be best for any roof...

So that fotog they interviewed (and who was seen holding a lantern in a pic) who said he saw the light under water, he didn't say whether he thought it was just from a lantern. Didn't say what it looked like to him at all(?)

Why are these channels so speedy, and how does that help?

Make sure if it's DP or DPP Twin to use signal separator to the rx inputs. If standard Twin, 2 cable runs from dish (or switch)

Ah, yes, the 510....first there was the 501, then the 508 that I believe had a larger hd(?) Then the 510, which I believe was actually a 501/508 reworked by DiSH to remove DVR altogether for a barebones rx (?) There was always something. I have asked whether there are still any SD rx's on DiSH (?)

I found out way back. Other dealers used a lot of the white ties on big dish installs and I'd do system upgrades and find them just falling off. So brittle just touch them and they're gone. Within a year or 2, and black ones were holding up. But I have since found that simply being black is no...

Good lorde, I remember them, but that was 35+ years ago. Little plastic "twist" fasteners. Either those or a plastic feed cover having survived until now would be hard to fathom. Even back then I ended up just dispensing with the big covers and leaving the LNB exposed, just coax-sealing its...

I think he was saying that his voip provider he was switching to wouldn't accept. I ran into that with Google Voice.

That's one ringie-dingie....that's two ringie-dingies....

Correct, mainstream tv guides had nothing sat-specific (and most certainly wouldn't have carried porno listings), but there were a ton of different sat guides, especially around peak big dish (pre-scrambling) '84-'86. Orbit Magazine was probably the best known. It was a monthly that was famously...

I've been out for over 13 years now, and the last big thing they were doing (besides introing hopper) was adding the EA aiming option. They way they had presented it, we'd have the option to use either WA or EA depending on which would be a better shot from a given home (with trees, etc. having...

OK, so is it just a difference in the (plastic) LNBF adapter or is there (also) a difference in the metalwork? And again, what does "DPP EA.2" mean on the screen? That 2nd pictured LNBF that I'd never seen before? It just (apparently) has 2 feeds- did it receive from just 2 EA slots? So then...

I thought just the LNBF differed, didn't know there were different dishes (??) But I know for fact that you can't take your 1000.2 triple dish/LNBF and move it from WA to EA and make it work. Or at least you couldn't. Maybe now that there's only need for 2 slots you can?? I've never seen that...

Skeptical also. Picture looks like the back of a 500, whilst a 1000 (.2) is described. First off, a 1000.2 is designed for WA; the design for EA is 1000.4. I believe just a difference in the LNBF, so the 1000.2 LNBF can be swapped for a 1000.4. They cannot be interchanged at the same arc...
