    Can I do this with one more Splitter and power inserter?

    I would replace the 8 way with a 2 way, smaller and fewer splitters the better. Your tuners are going to be dependent on what receivers you eventually get and not the splitters, swapping out the lnb may be easier and quicker if it's even necessary. 1 power inserter is enough but try to keep it...

    Second home receiver help

    I see a power cord and a hdmi cable plugged into the back of your receiver but no coax. should have a coax line going from the receiver to the "TO IRD" port on the power inserter and then a coax line going from the "TO SWM" to the LNB. You do not need the green splitter with just one box unless...

    The Reverse Band LNB's are coming!

    Noticed that it's listed in upfront now for ordering but can't select a quantity yet. We're doing repairs but only for the jobs we've installed.

    Can I use a PI-29 without putting in a swm8 or 16?

    Thanks! That much I pretty much knew but thanks for clarifying just in case anyone else stumbles across this.

    Can I use a PI-29 without putting in a swm8 or 16?

    Can a PI-29 work fine with a swm LNB without using a swm8 or swm16 in the setup? Obviously the PI-21 would be the preferred choice but if they're not available (out of stock in garage) would a PI-29 be a suitable replacement?

    Having Worst Install Experience of My Life

    It happens unfortunately. The biggest problem we have is on heavy days between 4-5pm guys will sit on their current job or just not dispatch until the load clear message comes out hoping someone else will pick up the last few jobs.

    Having Worst Install Experience of My Life

    You know it's bad when you got more drive time than on the job time.

    New install questions

    Also depends on location, where dish found good line of sight to the satellite might not be good for dtv. If you got open skies no trees or your house blocking the south east sky (assuming you live in Yakima WA as your profile indicates) then you should be good to go.

    On Demand not working

    I had this happen after my install, waited 2 days and still no OD. I just unplugged the 54 and my router, maybe did a red button reset and got it working.

    Do all HR44's have ths same caller ID problem?

    They will work with alarms, haven't had any issues so far. Just needs to be wired up the same as Pots would. Voip doesn't work very well with credit card PoS systems though, but usually they have it wired up via ethernet if they got voip

    Do all HR44's have ths same caller ID problem?

    ATT is pushing hard to phase out residential and small business pots. Took me nearly 4 hours and at least 6 phone calls just to convert a customer back from voip. They will still keep pots around for a while for emergency services and business using more pots lines than uverse can support. On...

    Do all HR44's have ths same caller ID problem?

    I think what he was getting at was ATT was wanting to phase out any landlines that was not being currently used for uverse. I have no idea what their intentions are. Voip dial tone is post gateway. There is really no difference between internet and voip before it gets to the gateway, its all...

    AT&T TV Subs Decline in Q4, Despite Strong DirecTV U.S. Gains

    They probably wont shut them down for the reason you just mentioned. They will keep it as a back up. Usually the customer is getting internet anyways and as long as the signal is from the VRAD then there isn't a whole lot more work to do after the Gateway is up to provide the video service since...

    AT&T TV Subs Decline in Q4, Despite Strong DirecTV U.S. Gains

    ATT is strongly pushing customers over to DTV even to the point that they practically dont offer it anymore through normal sales channels. You have to ask for it otherwise they are going to give you DTV. If a tech come out to do a DTV install but cant install for whatever reason they can switch...
