I suggest that you lock onto both. This way you get the full package.

How do you know what vertical degree to use on the dish for those birds.

Duck - Depending where you're at would be how to set up the dish itself. If you look at the list of reputable sites, you'll see links to different sat calculators. Use one of those to find that out.

I found that 110 has more of the PPVs while 119 has more of a variety of stations.

Hey Duke
EchoStar 7 @119.oW
From Toronto point your Dish to 229.8 degrees and Elevate it to 26.3

From Timmins 225.7 Elevate 23.7
From Thunder Bay 217.2 Elevate 27.6

EchoStar 8/10 @ 110.oW
Toronto = 220.3 Elevate 31.2
Timmins = 216.1 Elevate 27.8
Thunder Bay = 206.8 Elevate 31

With one LNB and Dish you can catch both birds.

BTW PRFRMNJ early on the sauce, name is Duke not Duck. (just joking)

steve, we don't quite know what you're asking. are you asking how to unlock your rom102 card? if so, what rev is it locked at? if it's at 109 you're out of luck, buddy.

Steve, you have a couple of options. You can pay the bill on the box and continue subscribing or you can buy an fta receiver. You'll need to do a lot of reading on the particular model receiver you choose to buy to become familiar with flashing it. I suggest getting a View sat 2000 or cool sat 5000 due to their performance and reliability. They are also easy to work with. Go over here to Freedom or another reputible fta site to get all the info you need on either box. Cheers-

check out dish network's site. look in installation. they have a pdf file with all the info. Where to aim your antenna and from what zip code. Just look for your zip and it will tell you where to aim.

I in the market to buy my first fta receiver and was told that a Cool Sat 7000 would be great for my Dish Satellite. I cancelled their services a few months ago and went with Time Warner but I'm not happy with what I have. Do you guys think that the Cool Sat 7000 is the way to go? Is there a way to hang on to the EPG instead of updating it a few days or is their a receiver that can hold on to the information? Once I buy my FTA, I'm hoping that I do not have to go up on my roof and turn the dish since I already had services from Dish Net? Is there a Thread for beginners as far as what equipment is needed along with software? Thanks in advance!

I recommend a coo*lsat 5000, captiveworks premium, or homesat for a newbie who wants to have a simple inexpensive box...coo*lsat has best pic quality

if U want best, get a Sonicview 4000 or Viewsat ultra...both are USB ready...

I will go with your recommendation on buying a ViewSat Ultra. What other accessories will I need and what software will I need to upload. I noticed that a ViewSat Ultra goes for around $160.00 new on e-bay, is that a good deal? I'm curious why will the Co*l Sat 7000 not be a better version to have?

$160.00 sounds really cheap.Beware it seems it's clone at that price and ebay is notorious for clones.

The best deal I have found on a Viewsat ultra is at SATELLITE DISH EXPERT For $179 they have free shipping and currently are giving away a 1 gig USB flash drive for free with it. And they dont sell clones ..........If you have a ultra, the usb flash drive makes it all so painless. The ultra is a much superior unit to my old unit. Ease of operation,features,speed ect. And it has the best support. Oh, and I have a question: I have been running a Vortex Pro 7700 clone unit for sometime and upgraded to a VS ultra. With the ultra there are a couple channels I liked to watch that Aren't on the ultra.. encore westerns(342) and the scifi channel(122) I have loaded and reset several times, did blind scans and still these two channels arent in there. Anyone know why? I want my western channel!!!! Wahhhhhhh

whenever U are missing ONLY a FEW channels (NOT ALL)...just go to www.lyngsat:com to the sat U want, and channel U want and check the Transponder TP ...and then scan that TP with your receiver, don't rescan the entire sat or a blind scan...cause if U do , then U will have double channels...and do a TP scan should retieve those FEW missing channels for U...U may want to reboot the receiver again too...

also if U have auto TP on in receiver, usually it will auto pick up new tp changes, which may happen often..
