    CES Day 4 - TimeTrax & SBC / Dish Network U-VERSE

    On a side note, concerning the HDMI connection, the 942 is also HDMI-only. It will ship with an adapter, however.

    Day 3 from CES

    She's Tanya Memme, the "host" on DirecTV's customer education spots on DirecTV. She's always on channel 201 telling customers how to use the system. She had just gotten finished wrapping up a promo segment from the DirecTV booth when Scott took the picture. It was pretty cool getting to watch...

    Can't Find 110 On Dish 500-any Tips

    Yes, it sounds very likely that you have an obstruction, like a tree, causing the low signal strenghth. Thankfully, your 119 signal is coming through the correct side of the LNB, so you don't have the problem descibed above. You should be able to put the 110 signal meter on the screen and...

    Can't Find 110 On Dish 500-any Tips

    What does your switch test show? What satellite is listed under "1", and what is listed under "2"?

    Can't Find 110 On Dish 500-any Tips

    Be sure to run a 'check switch' test after you cover up the 110 LNB. This will clear the switch matrix, and allow you to again pick up the 119 satellite with the correct side once you have pointed the dish correctly. Almost every RV customer that I have sold a system to calls me with this...

    Direct Burial RG6 Source

    The problem with that is the fact that either one of those hold water against the cable. Invariably, when I have had to replace cable that has been ran in buried conduit, no matter how well they tried to seal the point of entry, there is water standing somewhere in the pipe. It ends up being...

    Direct Burial RG6 Source

    I have some that I would sell in a 100ft length. It is Commscope 5728 Direct Burial RG6. I can even crimp on the Gilbert GFUS-6 compression connectors if you like. Let me know: mainstreet@checkyes.tv

    Anyone See A Problem With....

    As long as they're "flooded" cables you shouldn't have a problem. If they aren't rated for direct burial (basically what it would be inside a gutter with water and leaves, etc), you could have problems later on. You could go buy actual PVC conduit for about a buck and a quarter per joint and...

    Can't Seem to Get 110 & 119. Is my LNB Bad?

    Also - make sure the part number is NOT CCS9601. Every LNB from that lot is defective. They also lose signal intermittenly from one satellite or the other - especially in extremely hot, or extremely cold weather. You can find the part/lot no. on the label above the ports on the LNB directly...

    Can't Seem to Get 110 & 119. Is my LNB Bad?

    Also, make sure that your switch matrix comes up like this: Input:......|...1...|...2...| Satellite:..|.119.|.110.| Polarity:...|..All..|..All...| Device:....|Twin.|.Twin| If it looks like: Example 1 or... Example 2 You have the dish pointing too far West or too far East...

    Can I reuse D* cables for E* new install?

    Doesn't sound like they'll be able to use the pole. (They will be able to tell you for sure.) The next best bet would probably be to mount it on the edge of the roof, or on the fascia. Another option would be to pay the extra bucks for the installer to put in a new pole a few feet further...

    Can I reuse D* cables for E* new install?

    How far from the house is the pole? Also, how tall is your house, one or two story? You may very likely be able to get away with using the same pole as long as your house is single story, and the pole is far enough from the house.

    Proton & Avtrex Demonstrate Next-Generation PVR at CES 2

    I'll check it out while I'm there. All of these that I've seen so far have been priced well over $1000. It will be interesting to check it out, though. Thanks for the heads up! Justin
