Rainy day in Englewood, FL

We had planned on doing some shopping but just as we were about to go out the heavens opened up and it poured.  I thought the rain wouldn’t last long so we waited and waited and waited.  Finally at 5, when it was still raining we decided we didn’t need anything badly enough to brave the weather and just settled in for the night. 

Monte did change out our Dish replacement receiver (our 6^th replacement since arriving in Englewood at the end of November)  The issue with the receiver is that it periodically stops, without warning, at any time of the day to reboot.  We have taken advantage of being in one place where we could receive packages to try to solve the problem.  BUT every receiver we have been sent is a refurbished model and we are still having the same issue.  Hopefully the receiver Monte installed today will be "the one".

Satellite Receiver Replacement-Dish Networks

       This receiver is the 6^th receiver from Dish Networks.  This one is made in Mexico-The others were made in India, China, etc.-The first receiver was purchased from Camping world and was brand new.  Everyone from dish was remanufactured. (Never a new one sent, but many times requested.)

Removing the receiver and wiring connections.

Placing Velcro tabs in place to prevent the unit from moving while the Rig is being transported.

  Pre assembly of some of the connections.

Reinstalling the receiver.

  Still securing the receiver in place.

   The Old Receiver made in India.

   The receiver is now installed and powered up and then just goes through all the Dish Requirements.  Activating the receiver, acquiring the signals or the satellites, and downloading the program guide and scanning the local HDTV Channels.

   You should now be able to once again use the receiver.

   All of the previous receivers had various problems from rebooting in the middle of watching programs to turning off in the middle of the night and having to reacquire the satellite signals in the mornings.

Good Luck
