Dish/ lnb for HDTV??

[KJT]

What dish/ lnb do I need to receive the hdtv package? What sats are the hdtv channels on? I just purchased a 6000 receiver off e-bay, and I will be subscribing. I currently have a 500 twin. Thanks in advance!!

Well, from what I have learned the last couple of days, is that you will need a Dish 500 and one Dish 300. If you are subbing to DishNet, you will also need and 8psk HD Module. With Bev, you won't.

I just bought a 6000 too, and am looking for the 8psk module.

I hope we weren't bidding against eachother. :D

KJT,
The HD channels are on the 110 with the Dish 500. For the Voom channels you would use the Dish 300 for the 61.5. The 6000 is a Legacy IRD and not compatible with DP or DP Pro LNB's and switches.

#40,
Do a favorite search for 6000 8PSK module. They do pop up occasionally. Few and far between. Grab it as quick as you can. Usually run around $50.

HD is super with the exception of lack of programming.

I had found one that was for $94. After clicking on purchase, the actual price was $52. Thier mistake if it was one. :D

[Raddude]

You got it ? Great

I take that back, it was $57, $65 after shipping.

[KJT]

Is the 6000 8PSK module the same as an enhanced HD adapter? The receiver I bought comes with this, and the seller said it allows you to get all the hdtv programming on Dish.

[#40Fan]

Yep, that is it.

[KJT]

Thank guys! I appreciate the replies!!

So if what im reading is correct. I can use a 6000 receiver as long as it has the hd module and a dish 500 with a sw21.

thanks

Yes... the Dish 500 (dual or quad) aimed at 110 & 119 and a Dish 300 aimed at 61.5 both connected to a SW21. This will get you all of the HD Channels.

With a 2 lnb Dish 500 and a SW21 (110 & 119) you will get the HDNet channels, HBOHD, SHOHD, TNTHD, ESPNHD, CBSHD, DSCHD, but no Voom HD channels (61.5)

Just a quick Q about the discussion.

If you can't get the 61.5, can you use the 148?

[#40Fan]

Well, after an hour of wasting my time trying to find the 61.5, I broke down and bought a compass. BAM, there it was right where the onscreen help told me it was at. Now, just need the N2 hack, Mili, to put this 6000 to use.

[#40Fan]

There are 13, N1, Voom channels that can still be received.

They are from 9470-9482.

This is the tier that you will need for them. Also need to be able to pick up the 61.5 bird.
