Check your wall plates

[sca]

i can pretty much gaurante the 90's arent rated high enough mhz. look at them, i bet you the barrels are white, indicating a low frequency cuttoff. there are several other colors including red and yellow.blue is approved for dns.
i agree that changing wallplates can be a very frustrating part of an install. this sometimes involves moving someones entire 400 pound entertainment center away from the wall. it often doesnt get done.

Does red indicate high-frequency? That is the color I have in all my wall plates. Just in case I went out picked up some of the blue barrel connectors for my Thursday install.

red and yellow are high frequency. but i dont know what the cuttoff is. blue is approved by dish as 3 ghz.

Good. Mine are all blue. I thought they had to be red.

Are we sure this color scheme is an industry standard or is it just something to do with the particular brand of barrels that Dish uses?

Blue barrels are dns code. A QAS will fail a tech for having anything but blue high frequency barrels in a wall plate. Red, Yellow or White = fail! To the other poster who asked about getting some blue barrels, the tech that shows up will have either barrels or new wall plates to install
