    DECA, MRV and the internet

    Theoretically it is possible, the DECA adapters are nothing more than a device that acts like a fiber transceiver but in this case cat5 to coax to cat5.... each device that has a built in DECA get's it's own IP address and does not use a single IP from the primary DECA that feeds to your...

    HR24-500 DECA and MRV Issues

    Well i figured out the problem it was a combination of the following 3 items.... first i did the reauthorization as shown in a topic in the support forum, then I replaced the network cable with a cat6, and finally hooked it directly to my router instead of going through my cisco 2900XL series...

    using 2 dishes to get signal

    You can do it... you just have to figure out what connectors on the LNB are for which satellite... and take the 2 lines from the other dish and connect them to a multi dish switch! WARNING if you are using a E* dish for 110 and 119 it more than likely will not work... I only got a single LNB...

    Frustrating Order Experience

    That is exactly why Frontier offers nothing... it is now a European company trying to make as much money as they can from Americans... I only see it getting worse unfortunately.... Also, Verizon Wireless employees now have a strict protocol (at least for wisconsin and illinois) as to how to...
