    Adjustable dish mount

    If you have 1000.2 LNB locate a 1000.4 dish setup & LNB Bracket. Remove the center tab and the 1000.2 will fit. I do this on systems where I cannot use the 1000.4 and I need fine tuning. Works.

    Signal Distribution and Amplifiers

    I was brought in after the fact on this job. 24 receivers, 175 rooms. The original installer left without finishing the job and I normally do not do hotel/motels. Telling me to invest in extra equipment at this point is useless. I merely need to know what type of signal amplifier should be...

    Angle of Beam

    Thanks... trying to build a small Device to show my guys what the beam direction actually is. Been having the problem of mounting just under the eve of the roof and the signal is partially blocked. This way they can test the angle BEFORE mounting the dish to see if they have enough clearance.

    What is the angle of the beam from the LNB pointing at the dish and the beam shooting into the sky. I know the Elevation is XX. What I want to know is the angle as shown. If that makes sense....? Thanks Charles

    I need RG6 education

    Agreed... I contract to wire preconstruction homes and businesses and I try to convince the folks to run DUAL lines to each room... if you don't need it, leave it behind a face plate and it is ready for when you do... And ALWAYS run CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable at the same time... saves time...

    Relocating a box

    Personally I would simply contact a local installer and ask his price to do this for you so as to prevent any problems. If I understand what you want it should be no more than $50 -$65.

    do oe tool partner get to pick who they approve?

    I believe he is saying that when the office personnel submits an order thru their Back Office Procedure it gets denied more often than when it is submitted directly thru Dish or Directv site. That being the case I would simply have my personnel submit orders thru Dish Site and bypass the...
