Wall fishes are generally an extra charge. I personally won't fish an outside wall because of insulation and there isn't a good way to access the header in the attic. Also, wall fishing in a finished basement I usually just won't do it. It generally requires cutting out a lot of drywall in...

Ok, lets clear the air here. There are DPP LNB's. The Dish Pro Plus Twin (which is probably what your friend is using if he already has a 322 hooked up.) There is also Dish Pro Plus 1000.2/1000.4 - Eastern or Western Arc. If you're friend has a DPP Twin pointed at 110/119 a wing dish could...

I heard that they're doing a pilot program for only a few hundred customers where they can get a 30 day trial and cancel without penalty in that 30 days. I'm not sure of specifics, but I assume that after the 30 days the 2 year commitment is enforced.

Ugh, what are you trying to accomplish with this drivel? It really appears that you seem to think that kind of behavior is A-OK. Pushing people to be better is not the same as beating them down. Of course we know that other jobs exist. Of course we don't expect the "Dream Job." Many of us...

Speaking from the point of view of a technician, you don't see a lot of us get bent out of shape at your home because we generally like the work that we do. We just hate the company that we do it for and it's not you, the customer, that makes our company suck. Besides that, leaving a customer...

Eh, if it were me, I would have just used it. Unlike sperry, I wouldn't get charged back because I'm an inhouse employee. I could, however, fail a quality audit which results in getting written up, which could potentially result in termination. With that said I'd still do it and hope it...

I would guess they would have some sort of USB adapter for the Hopper that you would plug your OTA into and then it would distribute to the joeys. Probably need a dedicated line from OTA to hopper, though. Would work like the OTA module on the 722k, kinda. This is just speculation.

Ahh, I didn't read the OP thoroughly. If it's the normal daily update, then nevermind. I had assumed this check happened randomly while watching TV. Without fail, on 625's and 722's, if this integrity check came up randomly, I had to replace the receiver for a failed hard drive. I'd heed...

Your hard drive is shot. Looks like you need a new receiver.

Wow... A 1% problem if I've ever heard of one. You're inconsolable, I'm afraid. It literally takes 6 or less button pushes to put it back to your list. Guide Red Button Down (max of 3 times) Select I'm afraid people will complain about something if they're left with nothing to complain...

If it's reading LO Drift in the system info screen then the problem is the LNB. Receivers can't cause LO Drift.

You can still use the hopper w/ 2 DP LNB's. Just run them into a DPP switch (DPP 33 or DPP 44) So, 2 antennas, each with a DP Single LNB to the switch then off the switch to the node.

There must be a disconnect happening somewhere. It's not me not wanting to give someone what they want. It's me not having it and having no way of getting it. As stated before, technicians do not control what equipment goes into there warehouse, which goes on their van which ends up in your...

Ya, you're right. I only work for the company. What do I know? I mean, I ask my warehouse to please stock me up with 722k's as I would prefer to put those in above anything else. They say, none are in stock. We have 1 palette of 722 and 6 palettes of 622. But, of course you can add...

That's fine to cancel the job. However, nobody can add 722k to a work order. It cannot be done. The technician can't control what product he receives and thus, you receive. Whether it's reman or new, again, the technician can't control this. I simply don't understand why it matters, other...

Your amp will not work with a 1000.4 (or 1000.2 or any DPP equipment) It has a built in switch and amping after any switching will not work. Also, it's not needed. Your rg-59 cable will work fine, at least for a while. Just know it's not rated to the needed frequency and it wasn't designed...

If possible, use a vcr as your tuner. Coax in and composite out. Just set the vcr to ch.65. if 65 doesn't work, set the modulator on the 625 (menu-6-1-5) to ch.73. Set the vcr to 73 and your current tv2 to channel 22 and it should work fine

Why do you need Plenum Quad Shield? Good old RG-6 is plenty good. Can get it at any home depot. FWIW, quad shield is a PITA to deal with as far as putting fittings on correctly and in most situations, is totally unnecessary. Unless you have some crazy fire codes in your house, plenum is...

Wow, I'm actually really impressed with the content available both on dishonline and the HBOGO. When I messed with Dishonline in it's beta phase I was underwhelmed. Looks pretty good now. I have all the episodes available for The Sopranos, The Pacific and a ton of their other series. I...

Nope, it is required to replace any 59 cable between the dish and the receiver. Backfeeds are fine to use 59, but at least according to our Certified Quality Job Aid that is supposed to be replaced too. I'm with DVRExpander, I wouldn't be doing any wall fishes unless they were extremely...

Total shot in the dark as I don't know, but could the compression on EA affect the PQ compared to the compression from the WA? I've never been able to compare the two. I've only installed in a WA market, but maybe someone could shed some light. Also, do not listen to this Wix guy. Signal...

Diligent consumer is fine. I certainly don't hold all blame with the OP, just most of it. His comment about not believing the CSR that he called and then convincing them to setup a Trouble Call leads me to believe he was being obstinate. And for what reason? As he stated, his service and...

I'm gonna rant a bit. What you did has caused such a headache for this tech and it was a product of your own ignorance. Ignorance is fine, but demanding something like this when you have a perfectly good working system is asinine. You call the company and then don't believe what they tell you...

I'm an installer. I have no verification but that's what he said. From other responses sounds like he was mistaken.

I was told by my manager that the sling adapter can now be used with a 622. Supposedly some software update a few days ago.
