Thanks. That's what I thought. I'm on a la quinta inn installation and they sent a regular lnb with the swm distribution. Morons.

I need to know if a regular 5 satellite lnb will work if you have a swm switch with the power inserter.

There's no foil on this coax. Just the copper shielding, directly touching the plastic sheath.

No, it was copper shielded RG-6. I assumed it was 59 over the phone, but when I got to his house, it's RG-6, swept up to 3000 megahertz just like every other "satellite approved" RG-6 coax we buy. It wasn't the Radio Shack special that always had the copper shielding, it was RG-6 with a stiff...

I have a customer who had Directv come out for an install, and the tech looked at the coax that was pre-wired and told the customer that copper shielded coax causes the HD channels to have problems. I've never run across copper shielded RG-6 coax in the 9 years I've installed Dish Network and...

I tried calling over the weekend, and was offered $5.00 a month off my bill for 6 months. On the second call, I was offered $75.00 worth of discounts over 6 months. The third phone call, was $60.00 in credits. I decided to wait until the normal weekday business hours, and today the CSR from the...

Alabama being a 10 point underdog is almost as much of a joke as people thinking Oklahoma is the number 2 team in the nation.

How is beating a team in overtime an indictment of a team? Who do you honestly believe LSU played harder? Who do you honestly believe LSU wanted to beat more? Alabama was on the road, against a team that is playing the number one team in the nation, who would pick that one game out of the entire...

And anyone who claims that the Texas-Oklahoma game isn't neutral is mistaken. Norman is 5 miles closer to Dallas than Austin is. Exactly half of the tickets are given to each team to sell. I live in Fort Worth, and I've seen how many Oklahoma fans drive down I-35 and US-75 to come to this game...

Before Spurrier went to Florida, the Gators were never relevant. Bama has been down for the past 10 years or so, but that has as much to do with NCAA scholarship reductions as anything. Which, by the way, were more severe than the sanctions called for, but that's another story. So you tell me...

Wow, you are either very deluded, or very biased, Hart. In 1926, the exact same organizations that named Bama national champs in '25 named them champs in '26. I don't know where you get the idea that Bama didn't win the title that year. Bama split the title with Minnesota in '34. Or does neither...

7?? You are ignorant. You must be from Florida, that inability to count might explain Meyer's need to run up scores....he doesn't know how many he needs. You do realize that split national titles count...they didn't take those polls because they had nothing better to do. And we aren't even...

And you have the audacity to bring up the '06 Gators, yet criticize Alabama for close games...? Circular logic is just dumb. In '06 your mighty Gators beat Tennessee by 1 point, lost to Auburn, beat Georgia by 7, beat Vanderbilt by 6, beat South Carolina by 1 on a blocked extra point and a...

12-0 is impressive, thanks for proving my point, Hart. But really, both of your national championships have been after having to beg for a chance to play for it. Remember '96, after losing to Florida State, and begging to play them again?? Remember how in '06, Meyer spent 2 weeks screaming at...

And Oklahoma getting placed ahead of Texas is an atrocity. One dimensional teams without a defense will never win a championship. It'll be another BCS face plant for the Sooners, if they handle their business with Missouri. Which, the last couple of years, has been hard for most teams to do late...
