Mounting a superdish requires a bit more space and rigid structure than does a dish 500. It weighs like 6 times as much, is like 3 times as big, and utilizes support arms for much needed stability. These factors in themselves doesn't mean its going to be an issue to install. I had the...

sorry about my initial reply. to answer the question - the attenuator's job is to kick the signal down if needed. (need would be deemed to me by visual picture quality- or as i just discovered -- fcc regulations in some instances.) In your case, you probably shouldn't use it - since your...

the attenuator is for the rf remote antenna. if tv 2 remote is acting up(intermittant, loss of functionality), you can hopefully solve issues by clicking in the unit inline between the antenna and reciever. hope this can help. peace

its nice too see so much input on this matter -- some good tips, facts, and opinions are present. ! since the original post in this thread, ive moved from working with retailers to a home service provider, although this is less frequent now - it still has partial play. take dish mover for...

so -- when you say they will enable the second tuner -- do you mean that they will do something to help me complete the upgrade? if so how is this possible? they send a special hit to the box? what happens is after the upgrade when i arrive at the forced phone line test -- i cannot proceed...

you may be right -- now that i have searched, theres a test unit that generates the dial tone -- 60-70 bucks..... thanks for the tip. peace

its not about stopping the monthly charge, its about completing the install. after the upgrade 322's and 522's reboot -- than cycle and get to a forced phone test screen. You cannot continue, even after a reset, untill the phone connection is verified. Wireless phone extention -- good...

When the customer of a new Dnet install does not have phone service installed on the property, im finding an issue after taking upgrades on dual irds( ie 322 522 ). After the firmware upgrade it will force a phone line test. It takes literally 5 seconds or so, and i believe it only checks...
