I'm going to check for the copper pipe tomorrow. If I can't find, what other options do I have? What is THHN? Copper wire? Tks Bill

I have installed an antenna in my attic (CM-4228) and I'm thinking I need to ground this thing. Any ideas on grounding antennas that are installed in the attic? Don't want anything to happen to the receiver that it is connected to. Is there anything in the attic that is already grounded...

Jimbo-It was a bad tuner in my unit. I had no sig on tuner 2, so I swapped tuner 1's input and still didn't get a signal. My unit manufacture date was Aug 21st I believe. Directv sent me another one and I popped it in yeseterday (manufacture date Sep 28th). All is well, and I'm happy (I just...

No MPEG 4 for me yet. I'm in Mobile, AL/Pensacola, FL area so my DMA is pretty low on the totem pole for getting locals. Good to see that everything else is fine except for this darn Tuner 2.....Thanks for the quick reply. Bill

I just had my system installed and finished today. I got 2 HR20-700s and 1 D11. I don't know how to read these numbers but here goes (I hope it comes out formatted right) 101 1-8 98 99 96 0 98 97 96 97 9-16 96 100 100 0 98 98 96...

Wow, what a day. I'm getting 2 HR20-700s and one standard box installed. I needed these installers to drop the 4 lines from the SAT into a structured panel in my master br, where I'm going to put the multiiswitch. Also, 3 drops to the master br (2 for sat, 1 for OTA antenna). The other lines...

This is going to be an experience. I just got off the phone with the installter (he's on the way). My question to him was if he was going to put concrete in the pole or just in the ground. His comment "maybe neither I might be able to just drive it into the ground". I don't think this is...

One final question. I'm attaching some data for my location. Can someone recommend an OTA antenna? Also, I'm going to be mounting this in the attic. Any suggestions on grounding? Tks again.

Is this just as good as the sch40 2" stainless? I know they had this stuff at Home Depot when I went there today as well. So you are saying that 2" will be too big correct? (for rigid steel conduit that is). Tks. Bill

Guys, I can't find 2" schedule 40 stainless, but I did find some 2" rigid steel conduit (which appears to be heavier). Can I use rigid steel conduit instead of schedule 40 2"? I spoke with the installer and he doesn't have any 2" schedule 40 either. Have any of you installers out there...

First, let me say if anyone out there is riding the fence on getting their Mits calibrated (or any other RPTV), DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! I just had the pleasure of having Gregg Loewen calibrate my Mits 65413 I purchased back in December. I was hesistant about how much of a difference it would make...

How about Pensacola FL? I'm hurting here......Brand new 65" 65413 just begging for some nice TLC. Tks. Bill

Seems to me then that this sports pak is a complete waste of money..... Bill

And why?

I'm still on the fence on getting Sat, so here is a basic question that I hope can be answered. I just moved from Baltimore, MD to Pensacola, FL. I used to watch the Orioles on Comcast Sports Net. I notice that the sports package has Comcast Sports Net. Will I be able to watch the...
