    6/8 box connector

    Thanks for all the replies. It has been fixed. The issue was this, there are 2 cable outlets in the living room (dvr) Installer ran a cable from each one, which does make sense. BUT, the electrician wired these as one. One is lower than the other, so the upper outlet box is just "jumped"...

    Tailgate question

    I live in georgia and pretty sure I have a dual LNB on the house. It has a multi-switch for the DVR. But I am just using the standard receiver, it was installed in FEB 06.

    Tailgate question

    Thanks for the reply. I think it is a 500 with TWIN. I was able to get TWO sats with dish and one cable (no switches) I have found the direct dishes on ebay for about $20, just want to know if I need dual or 3 LNB. Thanks.

    Sunday Ticket -preseason

    I am still not sure if the games will air. My guide has standard NFL network programming listed. I checked other sports channels for 8/11 and see nothing listed related to pre-season football. Does anyone know for sure?

    THANKS to local installer

    You know I agree about the $75 charge. I think he should have done it for free, but there are some trees that were close to it (remember I trimmed some branches...)the tree may have caused the damage--the dish was off just a little bit, so who knows. I may have pushed the issue of service if...

    Sunday Ticket -preseason

    My question is this, if the preseason games are shown, which ones will air? Do you get all the pre-season games on multiple channels or just the nfl network and its the luck of the draw for the area that you live in? Any one have an idea before I call direct?
