    Dish install gone terribly wrong!

    I just heard from a friend, who is a landlord, that some guy just tried drilling into his concrete balcony to mount his dish. He didn't just drill through the concrete balcony of his condo, but he drilled straight through a tension cable!! :eek: When they say don't drill any holes in your...

    Who else goes to satelliteguys.com!!!!! SON OF A....

    WOW, this probably makes the 5th time I accidentally typed in satelliteguys.COM, instead of .US. Of course, satelliteguys.com is a completely different website that is in no way affiliated with satelliteguys. Anywho, this website has some LOUD stupid annoying techno song that plays almost...

    wireless within 2 yrs!

    Exactly! Its stupid. Although they may do well in apartments, where the landlord doesn't want holes drilled, etc.

    wireless within 2 yrs!

    I don't like it. TV goes out, whoops, guess I have to replace the batteries in the LNB's again.

    A good experience :)

    I called to upgrade from "Top 120" to "Top 180", they didn't say how long it would take or anything. I hung up the phone, picked up the remote, and bam I had the "Top 180" programming.

    TechTV back from the dead?

    I also HATE ATOS, just not my cup of tea. It would be great to have some of the old shows back. I know Call For Help isn't what it used to be. I don't know what they would do with that show. Many of our favorites seem to have moved on. Both Patrick Norton and "Yoshi" have since gotten...

    TechTV back from the dead?

    http://www.room362.com/archives/40-TechTV-back-from-the-dead.html There is news all over about this, do a google search if you want more information. I don't know if this has been said before. Basically G4's CEO Charles Hirschhorn has been "released". Which is good news. There is talk...

    "Reality TV is no longer available"

    Looks like a better channel will replace it. Can't wait.

    Signal problems and such

    Thank you for your input. I'm suspecting the switch is problematic actually, several times a prompt has came up telling me to run a check switch. I think i'll buy another and see how it goes, I could use another incase of a hurricane taking the current one out, etc. Get well soon Van!

    Signal problems and such

    The recent outage was with 119. Rain was messing everything up, perhaps i'll apply rainX.

    :river I apologize for my ignorance. I am sorry I did not provide the correct information you asked for. :shh :sorry: Good? Bad? I know most are, but the 105 seems...low. :(

    Signal problems and such

    Hmmm, well it is on one reciever <attached images> Looks like 105 ain't what it used to be.... :shocked Same signal on both recievers.

    Signal problems and such

    Okay, right now one receiver is on, the other is searching for signal. And this time its the other receiver. I'm pretty sure my dish is not aligned right or something, it just started raining, and it comes and goes. Guess I'll have to have it re-aligned.

    Not so news from gulf coast

    Hello. I live on Pensacola Beach, right near Pensacola & Gulf Breeze. Had my SuperDish installed about a month ago, still kickn'. I think my installer(s) were from Ohio, contracted from a Mobile based satellite place. I have a suspicion that my dish is possibly misaligned due to Katrina. There...
