I brought down a one meter dish & receiver for Dish 500 to Loreto. Couldn't pull in a signal. Anyone getting t.v. off Dish 500???? Why can Direct TV
signal be received here, but not Dish 500? Skeet. Before you moved to Arizona, what were you using for t.v. coverage? Any help here for me?????

Probably similar to La Paz

I know a person who brought down a Dish system a few years ago, didn't have any success with it. All the people I know with satilite systems seem to
have Directv.

Phil S: Have no true reason for the problems with Dish.
Bill and Betty Riffe have always had a Large dish and they pull in many channels.
We installed our Direct Dish through Henry from San Ysidro.
Someone on this board may be able to help. I recall Baja Bus was doing installations. Maybe he can tell you.
Phil where are you living in Nopolo?
Do you know if the "Peppers" farming operation is still going on near San Bruno?Skeet/Loreto
sorry Phil, but dish net will not work in baja
capt. mike - 10-30-2003 at 09:41 AM
why? who knows , but only direct TV or old "C" band 6 and 8 and 10 etc dishes work. save your 1 meter dish but you'll need a new LNB and a direct TV
receiver.
I'm going thru the same frustration in mulege, have dish net 500 at home in az. and wanted to set up a 2nd antenna and then carry my receiver back and
forth - no dice amigo!

Capt. Mike. That was my intent. Last year I brought down the motohome system I use in the states. No signal. Was hoping that the one meter might get
the job done. Everyone said it won't. I guess I was hoping that I'd be the little "engine that said 'I think I can', but turns out I can't. Big
disappointment. So now will have to switch to Direct when go home for Christmas.
Skeet. I live in that cluster of homes to the north of the tennis courts. About twelve houses here. When did you move to Arizona? Was starting to
ask around town to see if I could locate you, and found you don't live here anymore. That must hae been a hard thing to do.

Pkil S.It has now been 2 years. Went to Lake Havasu where my Wifes Step Mother had moved.Stayed only a short time then got the 20 acres and Started
raising Chickens,Goats, Cow, and Horse.
We all change and yes it was difficult but necessary as We had built 'Rancho Sonrisa " from scratch and was being surrounded by ugly neighbors on both
sides and around. We had enjoyed so many years that we did not want to experience the Bad fibes of poor neighbors.Goof luck with your TV.Skeet/Loreto
Direct TV!

Direct TV is your best choice for southern Baja
I have it Loreto, and am watching full coverage of the fires in So Cal
What a mess for the people involved..
come on Skeet

Sorry for getting off the TV subject, but I have to respond on Skeets comment of ugly neighbors. I don't know where I stand in his list of UGLY
NEIGHBORS
as we have just completed a house a couple of hundred yards south of
Skeets Rancho Sonrisa. We have had a home in Loreto for the past 14 years. First on Calle Madero and now our new one. I have known Skeet and his so
called ugly neighbors for the past 9 of those years. They are good people, and they have contributed a lot to Loreto. Their values are different than
Skeets that's it! Skeet would not have had electricity or water for another 5 years if it had not been for those UGLY NEIGHBORS! Get a GRIP Skeet
there are people who read this board who have known you for a long time. CJ aka Mike Sheffer

Mike ; This is an old story and you have always been an upright neghbor.When the incidents happened you had not arrived.Of course if jamie was here
you could check out the truth.It is long forgotten. Watch your back and if you get bussed 10 or 15 times lets us hope that his plane does not crash in
your house or the School across the street.
Glad to hear that you are in your home.
Mike. Did the Assocation finally give up on closing the beach?
C. ZL. was not meant to be included. His many projects have given the village of Loreto and its people many jobs.
Skeet/Loreto - 10-31-2003 at 04:16 PM
CJ.
I Aplogise to you and Rosy.In all the many years I spent in Loreto and at Rancho Sonrisa that is the only negative that we had to deal with.
That is also the first time I have responded in a negative way concerning Loreto.
Did you hear about me getting into a fight on the beach when the Hungarian Pilot in his ultra light was buzzing people on the beach and when he got
real low I threw rocks at him? He had just been run off of the Presidente for taking pictures on the Nudie beach of the Hotel.He was gone the next
day.
Lots of stories and lots of reasons why we get into conflicts. Skeet/Loreto

Southern baja is out of the footprint and the angle of the dangle is insufficient for the fingamahicky.
