dish pro splitter is not compatible

you would think dish would oppose this as they're losing subs to the internet.

i haven't been happy with dish at all lately, especially their guide giving me the wrong info. i was paying about $99 a month. I had the 250 teir but National geographic has been nothing but garbage lately (I can't stand the dog whisper) so i down graded to the 200 teir. i also got rid of the hd...

Netflix streaming sucks for my needs, I actually prefer redbox over netflix (most of the dvds i get from netflix are scratched and don't play well). Also the turnaround time for netflix sucks if i return too many dvds at a time there seems to be a deliberate lag. lastly, I enjoy channel surfing...

could have been a contractor or retailer...not a csr

for 100.2 i get 119, transponder 14-66 110, transponder 14-70 129, transponder 19-51

It's all about demographics. Only one percent of dish customers that I have visited (I'm a tech) are in the late 20's and younger. Most of those people live in apartments so there are LOS issues right away if they even wanted dish. Most in this category don't. They don't want a 2 year contract...

plus 100000000 for the super sat...i think they're around 700 bucks though

exactly, i do a lot of roof installs too, i always use pitch patch cement and silicone, no roofs leaking to date. sometimes roof installs are the best options. i've been to trouble calls where the wood is too rotten on the eves and someone put a heavy ass 500 + dish, bye bye signal

it can be done no problem, even with a larger directv dish, installer just has to use a quick pipe, i do it all the time edit- as long as the current directv mast is on securely and there is line of site. i had an install where the directv mast was so poorly placed i had to put another mast...

I think the op is refering to all the crap dish has been pulling lately. hell all the guides they hand out still say bronze 100, not the 120 channels. they need to give out dish Latino guides too. they've changed their pricing structure at least 3 times in under one year. Also dish does have a...

could be a software issue or hdmi issue, either way plugging in rca for your audio should solve it

I'm a tech working directly for dish, I like my job. They provide me with the right tools I need to do the job, for the most part I like my FSMs (supervisors) and my fellow techs are competent. My office is ranked highly in the nation among all DNS offices, and turnover is extremely low. (all...

cable works with rx (return) and transmit (tx) your tx levels on the modem on 109 should be between -9 and positive 9. for tv, your tx levels should be as mentioned 0-5, if you're analog -3 to 5 should be good, i don't think with your levels you even need an amp rx levels should be between 32...

nope, directv runs off low voltage, 13 and 18 volts for different polorazations off the lnb, that's why you can't ever use a splitter for directv, your modem runs off rf, off the 109 ch most likely, you can split that
