I wonder if this is an issue in the cold weather states or if there was a bad batch of nodes. I just hope the tech does not refuse to relocate the node. After all it is now proven that these nodes are suseptible to cold weather at about 22 degrees or lower.

I currently have a Dish 500 with dual LNBs, a 3900 receiver and a add-on receiver in 1 bedroom. I would like to upgrade my system to accomodate 4 rooms (familyroom and 3 bedrooms). I'm really not up to date on all the different receivers. I would like to have a DVR in the family room and just...
