does this work on satellite Dishes?

It works OK on dishes. I have 2 of these on my dish and it can keep up in a light snow in moderate temperatures. If If I was going to do it over again I would use larger pads. When it gets really cold the snow melting due to the heat form these pads re-freezes before it gets all the way off the dish.

I use it on the oil pan of my diesel pickup to aid cold starting. I have no idea why you would need to heat a satellite dish but I would think it would over heat in short order.

I've been using these on my dish for 3 years. One in the center and one on each side of the bottom edge. Works GREAT to melt off snow or ice in the winter!Ed

I don't think it will work. When you heat an oil pan on the car, it heats oil inside closed aria and the worm oil worms the engine. On open aria? Probably not.

Absolutely!! I have two on the back side of my DirecTv dish and they work great. My house is at an altitude of 7,100 feet and we get serious snow. Recently, during a 48 hour blizzard I had a clear signal while many of my neighbors had no reception at all. I turn them on when it begins snowing and turn them off when it stops. This is my third winter using these heaters and I am most pleased with how well they work.

I used them (2 pads)last year and they worked great, I suggest that when it starts snowing you turn them on and leave them on until the snow stops.

No it will not work. Satellite phones like Iridium or Inmarsat would be your best bet.

I don't have dish, so I am not sure if it will work. I do have a universal remote that has been programmed to work on 4 functions through my amp. I use it to watch, blueray, cable, Apple TV or listen to radio or iPod. That would be your best choice for configuring both TV and dish.

Yes. It will search and lock in on aa satellite. We use Dish Network and it works fine.

We got one for our motor home, but it should work the same way. Dish was excellent in walking us through the process once your satellite dish and receiver are hooked up.

I don't really know about it detecting the hd satellite dish. I have the feeling it should detect it. You just need to get the right satellite. Because there are three of them close together.

Yes it can. I have and i am running windows 7. Check my review. There is a detail process on how to accomplish dish.

I don't believe this model can be used on the Dish Hopper. There is another TiVo remote that, if I recall correctly, may work with one of the Sat boxes.

According to Winegard it will operate with most Dish receivers. We have some friends that use the Mission with a Hopper but to be safe I recommend contacting Winegard customer service.

As far as I know, it will work with any Dish receiver. It has information on what this dish will work with on their website. I don't have Hopper so if you contact your nearest dealer, they will be able to help you further. Hope this helps.Lynne

It will work on anything that uses an IR signal. Some satellite providers have gone to using RF signals on their boxes, so be sure of which signal type your box uses. I believe, but don't quote me, most of the RF type boxes also have an IR receiver in them. The easiest way to tell which one your box uses is to completely block the line of site from the remote to the receiver. If it still works under those conditions, you have an RF type, and this repeater will not work. Otherwise, it will work with any IR device.

If you mean the DISH cable service no, its a standard tv remote for basica functions such as changing the channel, turning it off and on, ect. You need a different type of universal remote to operate a cable service. I also checked on the list of compatible tvs that the RM-EZ4 remote can be programmed for (it came inside the package with the remote) and there is no DISH on the menu so no I don't think it'll work for your needs. I did glance at a search and there are several popular brands for a replacement DISH remote

I had no trouble using it with my Samsung TV. Actually, the remotes worked without have to enter any code, etc. I don't have a dish so I can't help you there. Sorry.

No. There is an equivalent Winegard antenna for dish. It's the Winegard SK-1000.

No they`re made for free to air channels which means you need a satellite dish antenna and some technical knowledge to make them work. Search fta receivers and see what`s available.

Yes it will, but you may be better off get a dish that will auto line up with the satillite. I used this dish several times, sometimes I could line up with the satillite without any problems, but other times, I could not. I bought me a automatic dish (one that will line up by itself) and now I do not have any problems finding the satillite.

No, I don't think so. This only helps you align to the Dish/Direct TV satellites. My husband spent a lot of time searching for the over-the-air broadcast channels, then marked them accordingly on our rotor antenna. Hope this helps
