Measured the pole-2 3/8". I'm going to Lowe's today and get a length of 1 1/2" rigid conduit. A couple questions about the install. If I go with the free upgrade install from D*, how high will they mount the dish? I'd like to set it high enough where I don't have to duck when I mow around the...

Jimbo, I'll measure the pole. Thanks JKauf55, actually my zip spans two counties. If I was 2-3 miles further south over the county line, I'd be eligible for Nashville locals. I tried to get the ABC station here to sign the waiver a few years ago and they told me not to even bother sending them...

Actually, there is already a 2" pole secured into the pipe. I just didn't mention it because I figured I'd probably be removing it. Now that I think back about it, I adapted the pole to put my present dish onto it but decided for the wall mount instead. I want to have everything done as much as...

I've been rooting around on the 'net for a couple hours trying to get my own answers but I still have some questions. I have two R10 Tivos and two standard receivers. My main tube type TV just went out and I want to upgrade to HDTV where that set is and leave the others as is for now. I've done...

Looks like I need to order a switch. I bypassed it and got signal. Thanks, Hutch

I went down and saw a thread about a multiswitch problem but it didn't quite answer my question. This morning I had intermittent service on all channels. I get locals by sat. and they were out too. This afternoon I have no signal at all. I have a 5x8, I think, multiswitch. 4 connectors from the...

I bought an electronic remote A/B switch at Radio Shack and it worked fine. Only problem was having to deal with another remote. Hutch

Pete, thanks for the site. Looks like they've got a 3 room system with the 40 gb tivo, 2 reg. receivers, and the triple lnb dish for $69.99. That sounds like a good deal. I can't, for the life of me, find any code though. Thanks, Hutch

I guess I need the Phase III dish to do what I want to do. I went to DirecTv website to buy a system and they said I came under the NRTC and routed me to Pegasus. What are some good sites to buy from online. Need Phase III dish, TiVo receiver, and two regular receivers. Went to Bestbuy and they...

Jimisham, thanks for the link. I had seen that one before. I also saw one, that I can't find again, that showed a higher resolution with county lines. I'm right on the line so if the signals spill over a county or two then I'm good to go. Bestbuy had a deal last week where you could get a three...

I read somewhere that the only D* TiVo receiver that would record OTA was the $1,000 one. Hutch

Here is a map with Warren Co. highlighted (I hope):

I've been floundering around on the net for three days trying to figure this out. I asked on another forum but never got an answer except to make sure I got a Phase 3 dish. I am now a Dishnetwork subscriber in Warren County, KY. I don't qualify for Nashville locals but my OTA signals are poor. I...
