That would be appreciated, as "snark" is generally used to denote a snide, sarcastic remark (which is often intentionally exaggerated for the purpose of underlining a general point). I am unclear exactly where you used that device.

Beilein's a good coach, isn't he? Your boys do look decent, and they have a couple of very nice pre-conference upsets. Those quality wins alone might get them in the tournament, even if they go 9-9 in conference (and I'd expect they'd get to 10 wins, which usually guarantees a Big 10 team a bid).

I was sure the "99.999%" would be taken as snark. I suppose I'll have to spell that out next time.

OK....count me in. :) Overall, right now I'm not happy. But, since the one team that is my passion here did okay last season, I'm okay. :) St. Louis Cardinals - Another decent season for my favorite team, especially considering that local doctors probably made nine figures off Cardinal...

Who has won the most Super Bowl rings as a player?

My advice: Set aside about 30-45 minutes. Call DISH directly. Request to speak with the Executive Resolution Team (ERT). Don't ask for a supervisor or manager - just request ERT. Have ERT call the retailer.

:confused: There's no reason a CSR/TSR can't add Mobile Service. It's true that many don't know about it, but it's certainly available as an option directly through DISH.

I've seen a number of high-end installations live, including two with trunked DPP44 switches. I've seen issues where the whole switch is toast, where a particular input or output is bad, and where the power inserter is bad. I have yet to run across one where the DPP44 *doesn't* need an...

You are wrong, unfortunately. TSRs are not to replace LNBFs for drift values with an absolute value of 5. Since you say "we", you must be an employee. I'm further guessing you are a DNSC employee, because you seem to believe that value will get a LNBF service call built, and I know field...

That's good advice for any E* employees on here. I might recommend just giving advice and info, without identifying yourself as an employee.

aertie - If all you bought were the peanut butter (Y-Pb-Pr) cables, all you'll get is video. You have to use either optical or RCA audio cables for your audio hookup. This is where hooking up a 2nd HDTV to the 722 TV1 location is difficult. The following assumes one of your TVs is in the...

The drift is only -5, which is within operational parameters. DISH won't schedule a service call for that. On the other hand, if this always happens in the early afternoon (say, 12p-5p your time), then the sun is the problem, and the LNB will need to be replaced.

One thing about running a check switch... After going Main Menu - 6 - 1 -1 - Check Switch, you'll notice near the bottom of the Installation Summary screen two options: SuperDish and Alternate. If you are using a LNBF for SuperDish, D500+, D1000 or D1000+, you need to have SuperDish checked...

I forgot about the HD enabling fee. Sorry about that. However, you don't pay any lease fee for the primary receiver on an account. Since you'd only have 1 receiver, subtract $6 from your total. The need for 61.5 depends on where in the NE you are, but the same concept still applies for doing...

Blueman's post about pausing your account is absolutely correct. The only thing I'd add is that you can only use the pause feature once per rolling calendar year, unless you're a snowbird who maintains multiple residences. Will you be between homes for this 3-4 month period? If so, I'd...
