slammed in pittsburgh.

has your temp been fluctuating lately? if it has look at your fittings. water does not have to creep into them to cause trouble. ive been on a lot of service calls where sunk fittings are the reason for loosing channels. when it warms and cools outside the stinger can recess itself just enough...

i've most likely seen and installed more h20 and hr20's then you have so i am well aware of what they are and are not capable of. in fact they are capable of showing alteration in signal strength numbers assuming you know how to highlight the + button and cycle through the satellites and back to...

you can use the reciever just fine to aim one of these things. all a signal meter is is a reciever thats convienient to move and doesnt need a tv. first off you need to ditch the azimuth you got from the website. the azimuth from the website and even the one on the screen for the h20 is...

where do you live cleveland? dude i live in pittsburgh and i have 2 birdogs and an accutrac 22. pay for my gas to get there and show me a good local lake to fish assuming you fish, and you can borrow the thing all day while im at the lake. my price is 20$ or so for the gas one way and a...

you need to switch to jim because your boy chad is ripping you a new one. i got both of my birdogs for 400 shipped.

just get some U clamps from a hardware store and mount a pole to the fire escape outside your window. thats an at-9 on the roof right across from you so you have a line of sight, hell you have a line of sight for high def if you really want it. there is no way the top of the building is more...

thats bizzare it wasnt effecting anything else besides hd locals. deffinatly not my first guess thats for sure.

in all honesty a small indentation is probably not gonna do it but its always possible. i would look at any and all connectors and f barrels in the line the whole way back to the switch. if they are sunk or corroded or moisture is present etc any of those can do it. if your multiswitch is...

rg6 f conn. seems like a dumb reason to loose locals but its the first and only thing i did. removed it, the dielectric was sunk a little bit so i whacked it off and replaced it. plugged it back in and it was good to go. some real simple things can cause alot of problems.

just did a service call today with the exact same problem, everything except hd locals. it ended up being a bad fitting at the back of the ird.

get a squirt gun (supersoaker preferably) and fill it with rubbing alcohol. i have done about 20 service calls in the past 2 days and 19 of them were snow on the dish. dont get me wrong i'll take the easy money but im sure you guys want your tv back on asap.

when i read this all i could seem to picture was dr. evil demanding 1 million dollars and a bunch of politicians laughing at him.

quoted from the sternabond website. http://www.eternabond.com/install/wet.htm not trying to be picky here but its stuff like this that is the difference between my liability insurance staying the same or going through the roof. after many years in the electrical trade and seeing what...

for one i am not a roofer. two, i am in business to make money, not loose it via lawsuit. everything i have found at home depot etc and i stress "that i have found" always recommends being applied to a dry surface. now to someone doing thier own roof repair that may be negligable but to me i...

you could try connecting a set of composite cables from the reciever to an rf modulator and then connecting the coax thats running downstairs to the modulator. dont see why it wouldnt work. might get some picture degradation at worst because of the modulator. supposedly your not supposed to...

there is no coax output on an h20, only sat in, off air in, and rf. your coax thats going downstairs is most likely connected to either the off air in or rf antenna connection thus the reason the tv downstairs isnt working. go look again real hard at whats printed next to all the ouputs...

i lucked out about a month ago and did a slimline at a house that had an existing superdish in place (same size mast). guy said it had been there for quite some time. well whoever did it sealed it real good and hit nothing but truss on his monopoles and mast foot. that thing was solid as a rock...

thats what i was trying to say, its not like your assembling a nuclear warhead. its two friggin knobs......

i wouldnt hold my breath

also i hate to say it but if you know for sure these guys cant do it, i would call directv and see if they will credit you to find your own installer who can.

are you only getting 1 reciever installed total? if so and he's using a 6x8 try taking the switch out of the equation. how long is the run, total cable from the dish to the reciever? do you have any other d10's d11's that you can look at the numbers or is this the only reciever...

you arent the only one, it wasnt enough that i sub'd for them but then everyday all day i had to see eleventy bazillion flyers for them everywhere. thier advertising was a bit overkill. im suprised greenpeace didnt try running them out of business for deforestation.

depending on which version of h20 you have your numbers may be extremely low in comparison to a standard reciever. i also remember seeing somewhere that there was a batch of h20's that didnt even show signal strength. we had a batch of h20's come through that would show solid 69-75 on 101...

no the problem is the people who cant seem to grasp the concept on rotating the fine elevation/azimuth knob back 2 turns recording the number on a piece of paper, rotating it clockwise untill they get the same number and then dividing the total turns by 2. bascially some people cant seem to...
