I do notice that the assembly is slightly warm to the touch. I'll see if the wet cloth over the assembly helps out the next time I'm out. I'd still like to find out why the heat might be throwing the crosspol numbers off. What would be the science behind it.

I have a scenario where after performing scores of the same type of antenna point and crosspol, my crosspol numbers seem to decrease as the day progresses. Same satellite, same type dish, same general area (give or take 5-10 miles). Generally in the mornings, crosspol numbers of upper 80's are...

Which Hughes satellite(s) does this point to? The IDU is a HN7700S. And what type LNB (Invacom/wattage) is this? Thanks.

I get the feeling that even if the technician called, and there was snow outside, this customer would have still instructed the technician to come out to attempt the installation since he had taken half a day off from work. Dish isn't going to cancel a potential upgrade due to a possibility of...

What have you been doing for all of your life? Accepting people/repair personnel into your home that you know nothing about. Who doesn't work for a large corporation in another state? If your TV has been out for two days and your wife and three kids are all standing behind you 'mean mugging'...

It will probably just be another novelty used by those hyper-tech sort of consumers that like new toys. Dish Network's brand of customer, for the most part, just aren't that up to speed. Heck, we'd still be on the "keep your TV on channel 3", issue were it not for the discontinuation of coaxial...

Are contractors/subs required to have GPS location devices in their own vehicles for this feature, or is this only for in-house technicians? Wouldn't that be walking that fine line again between employee status and contractor status? Or is Dish just requiring their direct contractor to do it...

Each of the outputs on your older model represents outputs for each of the four received satellites (110/118/119/129) to feed individually into a separate required dpp44 switch. The dpp44 switch combines all four of those satellites and feeds to combined four satellite signals to a maximum of...

Earning more money with fewer subs is pure math. Either you are taking more in off of those fewer subscribers or you are spending less. My guess is that its a little bit of both. Nickel and dime your existing customer's with an additional $1 for a late fee, or a few bucks more for an Everything...

Go back into the modulator menu on the 722k rcvr and turn off the TV1 channel. Usually if you've done the channel scan at the TV location, and the TV1 and TV2 modulated output is enabled from the 722k rcvr, your TV2 will pick up channel 75 and 73. Those are the default modulated cable channel...

If your locals aren't on 129, you could also try pointing to 61.5W. That's if trees aren't blocking that southeasterly direction. It's at a significantly higher elevation than 129W.

Just put a bag over it. Clear or black. It won't affect the signal. Our local Spanish-speaking friends have been doing it for years. Only foil will block the signal coming in. Or your hand (water content in your hand). I used to experiment with cardboard, paper, plastic, etc, and the signal will...

Run your OTA and TV2 signal into the out ports of a two way splitter, not a diplexer. Neither of those two signals will run through the sat port of a diplexer. In the bedroom, place the cable directly to the TV. Most OTA channels will be in the lower channel range. The trick is to select a TV2...

Don't forget that when needed, you can take that wireless joey to that 4th room. You made a good choice on the equipment.
