Note that the DSL speed has NOTHING to do with whether you are running CAT5 or CAT6. There was a slight mis-statement a ways back about "CAT6 for internet". That should read "CAT6 for LOCAL network". CAT6 allows you to use Gigabit Ethernet without question. CAT5 will usually work, but is not...

Wow. First time back here in a few months and I happen to spot your post. YOU NEED TO CONTACT SOMEONE THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING ASAP!!! First, dang few electricians can even spell "satellite" let alone know how to wire for it. This is proven by him wasting your money on the "black box...

Hi guys! I've been both busy and laid up (broken wrist, and now a messed up foot). It slows me down, so less time to hit the forums. I can't even tag Dishretailer daily. I miss diving in around here, and really appreciate your thoughts on my postings! It's nice to know! One thing, if...

That's old, old technology. In the beginning, ... the LNA and the BDC (Block Down Converter) were separate units. Then, VLSI circuits were invented, and the LNA married the BDC. ;) Your next question is probably: "What is the BDC for?" Answer: To convert the incoming signal down to...

Correct! The ONLY end caps that should be used on E* (and probably D*) equipment is plastic weather protectors - the ones that come with the switches.

Dunno how I missed this one. One note - while this meter is 'da bomb', it's not intended to do short/open cable testing. A simple multimeter will do that. Ya gotta have a minimum amount of available current to drive the LNBFs (and sometimes switches), and receivers can only supply so much...
