If you're relocating an AT-9, be prepared for the dither adjustments to be rusted together and unmoveable. Might be worth considering moving to the slimline dish.

Are you positive you can't get Line of Sight, or did some slacker installer just think the job would be a PIA, and blew you off? I would get them to send out another installer to verify no LOS, and I would demand it be a senior tech or supervisor.

No, it won't. To force the latest software download, reset, then as soon as a blue screen comes back up, press 0-2-4-6-8 on the remote. Receiver will then go to the software download screen.

You're in Premier management aren't you Bill?

It will continue to be dark until the sun comes up. I'm sure of it.

Me too, please!

Been lunch before. It was no fun. (Kinda like installing in the rain)

Not to nitpick, but isn't the slimline an AU-9? Anyway, I always kinda thought guys with Dewalts strapped to their ass call it a Ka/Ku, and the guys with a Lazyboy strapped to their ass call it AT-whatever.

Any which way at all, just like on the triple sat going into a 4X switch.

I installed a fouth DVR into a guy's living room a few weeks ago. I gotta wonder - when he only had three DVR's and could record 6 shows at once - what was the seventh show he needed to record so bad that he had to get another DVR?

The error messages in setup are normal and should be ignored. The different signal strength reading is normal as well - a low 70's reading on a H20 will give a reading of around 90 on a standard IRD, which you probably have already found on your other receivers. The H20's have been pretty rock...

??? Where are you getting this info?

I don't believe DirecTV really cares. I see that exact kind of slop several times a week. The average installer in my area installs for Direct for 4-6 weeks and then moves on to another field (like McDonalds.) Direct is the one calling the shots - They allow the HSP's to pay low wages and...

I've installed more than 20 H20's in msp and all but one have not read any signal strength on the 103 - yet all have received locals in HD fine. I've installed about 5 HR20's and all read the 103 fine. I suspect there is a software problem with th H20's reguarding signal strength on the 103.
