    Question about the VIP211k

    Yes, I am aware of that, and if I had ordered the equipment that was to be used in this installation, I would have made sure that it contained a DPP lnbf. I am just checking to make sure of the question that I asked so as to save the person with the equipment the trouble of having to send the...

    Question about the VIP211k

    Will a VIP 211k work with a DPH hybrid, triple LNB? I have seen conflicting information on that question, but the consensus of opinion seems to be that it will work if there is not an H3 receiver in the mix. The installation that I propose to do is the hybrid LNB with a 1000.2 (WA) dish and...

    Just got a call regarding local channel carraige

    I have a similar trouble in Panama City Beach, Florida. Dish can furnish all the local stations with the exception of the CBS affiliate which is WTVY located in Dothan, Alabama. I know that the Panama City area is within WTVY's DMA but so far neither WTVY or Dish can tell me why they are not...

    Question about spotbeam changes

    Spotbeam changes TNGTony Just wanted to get back with you and say thanks for the info. You are correct of course, I do remember the locals were originally on 119. I wondered what happened and now I know. I was in error thinking that I was picking both sats up on the 300 dish.

    What you have said above is exactly correct at the present time. Prior to about 4 or 5 months ago this was not true. I could pick up both 110 and 119 on the D300. My locals have always been on the 110 sat. but the D300 did, indeed pick up this sat at one time. In fact I used it that way for...

    Question about spotbeam changes

    Yeah, stupid of me not to mention the location. This was in the Birmingham, Alabama area. The channels did not move from one sat to another, they are still on the same sat inside my house with the 500 dish. Previous to this, the small dish picked up both sats although it is not a 500 dish...

    Question about spotbeam changes

    I have been using two antennas at my home, one for service to my house and another for service to an out-building a few yards from my house. On the house I use the 500 dish and on the out-building I use an older, single LNB dish. Sometime back, I think about 4 or 5 months ago, the channels...
