Scenario:
TV has an analog tuner,
using a Tailgater i am occasionally unable to connect to a satellite,
however the VIP211 receiver will convert OTA reception from digital to analog but only IF you are able to connect to a satellite.

The standard 1000.2 dish with the triple LNB doesn't really get a strong signal. Has anybody done any mods on a bigger dish to which they have attached the triple LNB? I have a 1 meter Hughesnet dish that I can use if it will get me a stronger signal on 110,119 & 129.
Thank you for any input.]]> 6 Local Channels, Spot Beams Sun, 07 Dec 2014 22:00:09 +0000 https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/local-channels-spot-beams.344656/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss 344656 invalid@example.com (Andrew Beeby) Andrew Beeby Hello, Please excuse me if this seems a stupid question.

I know there would be no guide info but that's not a deal breaker. Something like a VIP 722K or ?]]> 7 Flash Sale Popup
