    Satellite installer tools of the trade.

    I have had no issues with my Birdog other then that fact the ports kept coming lose. I have had to pull it apart several times. Others though do not seem to have this issue.

    Can i record converter box sub channels with my DVR?

    If your dish went out that often, then it was most likely due to poor installation.

    Satellite installer tools of the trade.

    The first thing anyone needs before getting in this field is a psych evaluation. If you fail, you are probably insane enough to do it. lol Other then basic hand tools that most people have. (1/2" and 7/16" wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, wire cutters, etc) I used the Acu22 when I did...

    Extend Signal BEFORE Cable Box?

    Agreed, 50' is not enough to take from good quality to nothing. I am guessing the problem is in the 50" jumper you have. Plug it in to the connection at the ground. If the problem persists, it is the jumper.

    Looking to buy a big Dish

    Not knowing Costa Rica, I will say what I would tell somebody locally. Look for a used one. I see tons of them in my area and even occasionally have people ask me if I know anyone that will take the one out of their yard. I even see ads o n craigslist asking to pay people to take the one off...

    Dish Network equipment proof of ownership

    Maybe you are right and since they charge this fee to every customer, I am guessing they don't want anyone back....ever.

    Dish Network equipment proof of ownership

    Well, what does that solve as you still wind up paying the money and going through more hassle. I think they should do what Direct currently does and just send you the boxes with shipping labels for free.

    Dish Network equipment proof of ownership

    From his second post, I gathered it did have something to with the $15 IMO, if you don't complete the contract that you should have to pay to get the equipment back to them on top of all other penalties. To me, either service would suit my needs as they both offer all the channels I want and...

    Perfect Vision Birddog

    Birdog Pros Accurate Good Battery life Birdog Cons Shoddy workmanship (I can not tell you the number of times I have had to pull it apart and put it back together and no I do not abuse it) Does not like rain (lets face it, we work in the rain this should be better weather sealed) That being...

    Dish Network equipment proof of ownership

    I really hate to take this stance on this issue as I think it is absolutely retarded that Dish charges a fee to return their equipment to a customer that has fulfilled the service agreement. That being said (and this is the part I hate to say), it is just better to pay the $15 and move on...

    You might be able to get a few bucks for the Dish 1000 but the Direct dish is worthless and not even worth the gas it would take to scrap it.

    Pole Adapter

    No need to fill it with cement. If it is a temporary solution, just sleeve the pole using self tappers. Then in the spring, pull the self tappers out and bury the pole properly. To answer your question about the adapter, no where near as stable as sleeving the pole. Although that adapter will...
