Bronze Member Username: ChaatpakoriPost Number: 12 Registered: Aug-07 | Hi guys, I know there have been many threads here for the information that i need but hopefully someone can repeat it for me plz. I have dish 500 plus and i used to get 61.5, 119 and 110. The coolst7K has been down for many months now and i decided to wait until this long to buy a receiver. Im more interested in the international channels than VOD, so im looking at Kbox as of now. Can someone plz tell me which model of kbox is better, will it work with dish 500 plus, is there anything else i need to buy and lastly (coz im almost tech challenged at times) is the IKS safe. I apologize is advance coz i know these questions are so repetitive But plz do give in honest advice. Thank you! |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16147 Registered: Jun-06 | If you are sure you have Dish 500 Plus and not Dish 500, then you should have the LNB that will scan 118.7, which is Anik F3 at the same angle. You can check by rescanning (blind scan) using LNB freq of 10750 and LNB type of standard, or DP or Universal. Mus be a Blind scan. You won't see any channels but you will see the scanning telling you that there are lot of channels. In that case you do not need a new LNB. Or check with Dish to find out if you have the right LNB. You will need a continuously available Internet connection of over 1 MB speed - preferrably 3 MB. Next you will have to buy a kbox and install it. Most of the International channels are on Anik F3. To repeat, you must check that you have a Dish Plus dish and have the right LNB for Anik F3. A 20-24" Dish WILL NOT DO. A special LNB for 118/119 is A MUST. The ordinary LNB for 119 WILL NOT DO. |

Bronze Member Username: ChaatpakoriPost Number: 14 Registered: Aug-07 | Thanx Rico, I was wrong. I have 2 dish 500's. one with dual lnb for 119 and 110. The second dish has just 1 lnb that was for 61.5. So, i will need a new dish. For this, i also want to consider the HD programming option. What are my options with HD and without HD, since i need to buy both the dish and the receiver? where can i buy the dish? Thanks! |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16149 Registered: Jun-06 | Where you are scanning for 119 or if you have a separately setup ANIK F#, make sure the LNB FREQ is 10750 or less, and then do a Blind scan. On a 500 you won't see many channels come in. On a 500 Plus you will see many channels come in. All this without N3 decryption. Alternatively, you can measure the diameter of the dish or look at the writing on it to see if it is a PLUS. A plus dish is usually about 30" wide. Also please read my previous post carefully. |

Bronze Member Username: ChaatpakoriPost Number: 15 Registered: Aug-07 | Nalin, I have measured the diameter, and both of them are abt 23 inches, certainly not 30 inches. Im sure that i DO NOT have dish 500 plus. Thats why i asked my following questions: What are my options with HD and without HD, since i need to buy both the dish and the receiver? where can i buy the dish? Thank you for the information again! |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16152 Registered: Jun-06 | Any 33" Dish will do. The LNB is a special one, such as Digiwave DGL 1089S or CB2008A. The combination goes for about $60. You then add 110 separately to it and 129 as well. You can buy the dish and the LNB from DISH for about 120 - ask for Dish 1000 plus. Kbox sells a HD receiver as well as an ordinary one. Installation will be about 50-80. Alll the internationals are non-HD. |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16153 Registered: Jun-06 | Island tv: For the Bahamas. 1link 220 might be the answer. All Spanish, many English and PPVs are there. Other Internationals might not be there. - Ebay is your source for purchase. Make sure you get the server key. If interested in many DN channels, including a few PPV and many many Intdian, then go for kbox. |

Bronze Member Username: ChaatpakoriPost Number: 16 Registered: Aug-07 | HI, i want to know if i do buy kbox, under no circumstances are my dish 500 dishes not good?? not even for 110 or 119?? | |
|
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16155 Registered: Jun-06 | You main problem will be with the International chanels. The channels on 119 and any others on 110 that they facilitate with IKS will come through on your 500 Dish. Only the 118.7 (Anik F3) will be affected if you do not change to 500 Plus. |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16156 Registered: Jun-06 | Island Tv: Ilink 220 is a receiver almost identical to CNX Nano 2. It is marketed in Mexico and provides IKS service for mostly DN channels. Naturally it has a lot of spanish channels and does not have too many other Internationals. It also provides a lot of PPVs. Initally, you could buy a Nano and use their IKS service. When they discovered it they made their IKS server private and available only to people who bought the genuine Ilink 220. As far as I can make out, their service is as good or as bad as the IKS providers. Similar freezing and down times. If you decide to buy this you make sure you get their server key - usually in USA you would buy this receiver from ebay - there are a couple of reputable ilink 220 dealers there. If you are in Canada, I am not sure if you would invest in Ilink 220. |

Bronze Member Username: ChaatpakoriPost Number: 17 Registered: Aug-07 | Hi guys, Please tell me where i can buy a dish over 33 inches. im thinking of dish 1000 plus that should get 110, 118 and 119. Will i need to remove both of my current dish 500 dishes and install just one dish? Is the installation of the dish easy?? And will the 'special' lnb's come attached to the dish or will i have to do it myself? Thanks for all the information. |

Bronze Member Username: ChaatpakoriPost Number: 18 Registered: Aug-07 | Hi guys, I have to choose between kbox prodigy and Nfusion pheonix, here i dont mind the price difference. Im looking to get PPVs and international channels. I cant find the latest update for the channel list for a comparison. Also, i was almost gonna buy the 33 inch dish until i found out about the 24 inch dish sold by Transelectronics website. But since im in FL i dont know if that will be a good option or not. I cant find any dish installers either, so ill have to do that myself too. Im very confused about which dish and receiver to get. Plz advise. Thanks! |

Bronze Member Username: Last__supperNazerith , Isreal Post Number: 22 Registered: Oct-09 | VI. A Long Speech By A Little Worm All worms are of a higher order than the spiny-bodied animals such as the sea-urchin and the starfish. This is not exactly because some of them do such bright things as to build houses and hang front gates. It is because they are better made ; and so, on the whole, are better fitted for their work in the world. To be "better made," in the animal and vegetable world, means to have more parts, and each part fitted to do some special thing. The amoeba has no feet, no stomach--no anything, you might almost say. If it needs a foot it makes it. When it wants to eat, it wraps itself around its food and one side is as good as the other for this "made to order" stomach. When we get up to the sea cucumber we find a little animal that has lungs and nerves and a stomach. To be sure the sea cucumber throws away its stomach when it gets excited, and then grows a new one. Now, when we come to the worms, we find still better machines for living. Take the worms you call "fish" worms. Their real name is earthworms, because they help to make the kind of earth in which plants grow best. You would be surprised to know in how many ways the earthworm is like you. For one thing, he has a stomach ; not a stomach like the amoeba, made and unmade all the time ; nor like the sea cucumber to be thrown away whenever he gets peevish--but a real stomach that he keeps all the time, and uses for nothing else. His body, as you see, is a tube. Inside the tube is another tube. This inside tube is his stomach. And he has blood, too. After the worm's food is digested it becomes blood, as our food does. He has the beginnings of hearts, also. I say hearts, because worms have several hearts. The earthworm, for instance, has five. They are simple little hearts that answer his purpose very well, but they wouldn't do for you at all. You must have one heart with several parts, instead of five simple hearts. Whenever Nature wants anything better done, you notice, she turns it over to one part that will give the whole of its mind to it. The earthworm has one vein and one artery. Both are tubes like those that carry blood to and from your heart. One runs along his back, above his tube-like stomach. The other runs under his stomach. The five little hearts connect these two blood vessels, like the rounds of a ladder, as you see from the picture. After the worm's food is digested into blood, it oozes out into the rest of his body. The different parts of the worm are bathed in it, and so are made to grow. Most of the earthworm's blood is used in this way; so only a part of it is passed back through the hearts. These hearts do not have so much to do as your heart does, and that is why they are so simple. In the next higher group of animals--those with a shell, like the crawfish--we will find the heart is not so simple. You notice the earthworm is made up of sections or rings of muscles, just as your backbone is made up of rings of bone. So he not only hints at the heart and blood vessels of animals higher than himself, but he seems to say: "See how useful it is to be made up of rings. See how I can bend and turn and twist and get in and out, everywhere. The animals below me cannot do this. After awhile there will come an animal with a backbone, made up of rings. He will crawl on the ground, and be called a serpent. Then will come other animals with stiffer backbones and feet. They will not have a great many hooklike feet as I have. They will have only four good, jointed feet. In the water, also, there will be animals with backbones. Instead of feet they will have paddles or fins. Into the air will come animals with backbones, two feet and two fins, called wings. With these wings they will swim the air. "Last of all will come the most wonderful animal of all. At first, when he is a baby, he will creep about on his little stomach, just as I do. Then he will go about on four legs for a while--will creep on his hands and feet. Then, when his backbone grows stronger, and he has learned to stand alone, as the fern learned to do long ago, he will begin to walk with two of his legs, and the other two legs, now called arms, will be set free to use in other ways. "On these arms will be hands, and on these hands five fingers, like the five rays of the starfish and the five petals of a flower. With these five fingers he will grasp, first of all, his food, as the star fish does with his five rays. Then with these hands and fingers he will make boats to go about in the water like fish. At first he will make only play boats, then, as he grows older, big boats, with fins, called paddles. After awhile he will make other boats with paddles or wings for swimming in the air. These the will call flying machines. [An earth-worm showing the sections or rings of muscle] An earth-worm showing the sections or rings of muscle. So, although he cannot swim as well as the fish, nor fly at all, as the bird does, he can make swimming machines and flying machines and so turn into a fish or a bird whenever he likes ; just as if he were part of a fairy tale. "What a wonderful big brother we worms will have then!" says the little worm. "But," adds the little worm, "let him not be too proud and forget us--his humble relations; and how nature made us all before she made him, and so learned how to give him that wonderful heart and brain. If she had not first made our crude little stomachs, where would she have learned to make his good one? And until she had made our little hook-feet she couldn't make hands and feet for him. Our nerves helped teach him how to feel. Our dim eyes that just enable us to tell light from darkness, taught him how to see. Our five simple little hearts helped show how one larger heart could be made for him, to feed his brain and body, and to teach him to love all his little brothers of the water, the earth and the air.
