    SWM on RG59 Cable

    I've seen rg59 work perfectlyl fine with SWM,and seen some fail anywere from a couple of days to months of the initial install.I did notice that it works better with the thicker kind of rg59 than the thinner.

    Another Phone Line thread

    #1 is not true anymore.It might've been a while ago.I did it for a good number of installs and it didn't work. #2 from what i heard the ird pings 10-15 minutes after you do the test.I've been curious myself about this.

    Do I need a landline phone to setup DTV HD DVR service?

    Nope no land line required.If it was,more than half of my installs wouldn't go in.

    Your old FTA dish should work fine with the 6x8 to pick up sat 95.

    Installation Question: Steel/Copper Cable?

    You might have had a do it by the book tech.The system can be installed,and will work.Even though DTV recommends solid copper.But had it been done by the book,a lot of people wouldn't be able to get satellite services then!!

    Rumor Alert - Internationals Leaving DIRECTV?

    We were told about that over 2 years ago.Then at the end of last year we were told they'll move 'em to the 99 and 103.It would make more sense for the latter ,because some customer can't get LOS at 110 and 119,and you can't just cancel their services for that.
