Anyone have insight as to whether the HSP's are installing the HR24/H24's on a regular basis now?

Can some one in Salt Lake City tell me what the look angles are for the 99 101 and 103 satellites? I'm looking for line of sight and directv.com dish pointer only gives angles for 101 which gave me 41.5 elevation and 149 azimuth. I need to know 99 and 103. An installer showed up today and didn't...

I understand the blackout rules, but what I am experiencing is a strange one and has the D* reps on the phone stumped. I live in Portland, OR and subscribe to the NBA League Pass as well as the Sports Pack. It all started Sunday when the FSWest feed of the Lakers/Grizzlies game was blacked out...

HOLY CRAP! I should have done this a long time ago. I can't believe how clear the picture is. Just shows how much E* compresses. Not getting any of the usual fuzziness/pixelization/artifacting that plagues E*. Seamless transition to the HR24. No inputing codes into the remote control, just...

I felt the same way to a certain extent, thought PIP was neat. Side-by-Side/Split screen was the only part of it that I liked, but they screwed it up with the last software upgrade so now it doesn't matter. PIP is dead, they killed it. PIP is the last thing I'm concerned about now. DISH has too...

Always use a dealer/retailer that has been in business for years. It's like finding a good auto mechanic. You can take your car to Jiffy Lube (HSP's, or DNSC's for that matter. hack hack hack) or you can find that one independent shop that's been doing it for years and years and knows what the...

That's Ridiculous.

I don't mind taking dishes down for the most part since it's the easiest to swap dishes so you can use the same wiring, plus you're up there anyway. Recently a customer told me he appreciated me taking his old dish down even though he knew it wasn't part of my job. He gave me a tip for doing so...

Why do you have the same avatar as Claude and who had it first? :D

A lot are grounded since most receivers now have a 3-prong power cord. But if you're talking coax there is really a small percentage of installs that actually have ground blocks in the line. And not just D* or E* but a lot of commercial work C-band/Ku-band installs never have coax grounding, at...

That does it. I've got to get DIRECTV now. I'm concerned that the games won't be in HD on dish because of their disputes and D* is doing this. I think Ergen should just get it over with and ram his company in the ground. DISH can't compete with Direct.

Mike White reminds me of Kurt Russell, especially with the glasses. Nice fellow.

Maybe he goes out in the field and argues with installers about grounding.:D

I'm having a hell of a time finding a long time dealer/installer in Salt Lake. I need someone that is not a hack and knows what the hell they're doing. Anybody?

Are you NBA LP Subs getting the Lakers/Jazz game in HD?

I kind of understand where the OP is coming from. Hell, I'm a professional installer and they won't give me the time of day, even on my own account. Anytime I upgrade they have to schedule a professional installer to come out and I have to wait for him (myself) to show up on such and such day...

Sounds like your TV is not calibrated correctly, you are sitting too close to it, or both. Your brightness is obviously off if your bar theory holds true. The contrast is probably 100 as well as the sharpness. I'm not saying this is you but most people's TVs are this way because that's the...

Rain fade and trees. Believe it or not, even though 99-103 are close to each other when your space is limited and there's a tree in the way you need to split it up.

I would like to do this: One big dish for 99 One big dish for 101 One big dish for 103 Three separate dishes all fed into a multi-switch without having to use any of the new slimline dishes. First, is there individual Ka-band LNB's to use for a dish that is to be pointed at...

Do Directv DVRs not have picture in picture? I am going to have to change over again from DISH due to their NBA league pass dispute and it would be a real bummer not to have PIP, especially split screen.

How about run a new cable a rid the water problem completely?
