    Aiming 1000.2 Tips?

    I suppose that I will need to get a W bracket as webbydude mentioned. The 1000.2 that we will use this weekend did not come with that bracket. Anyone know where I can get my hands on one of those? Webbydude, have you installed the 1000.2? If so, how did you or anyone else that has experience...

    Aiming 1000.2 Tips?

    Does anyone have any tips on how to aim the 1000.2 dish? With the 1000 dish I used a DP LNB and peaked on 119 and then put the DPP LNB on. With the 1000.2 it does not seem possible to put a DP LNB on the bracket. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Additional TV's

    I have an install with a 622 and a 322. There are two TV's connected to the TV 2 output on both receivers, giving a total of 6 TV's. Two of these TV's are out of the range for the TV 2 remote. I know I can use two splitters and put the antenna for the TV 2 in the same room as the TV. My...

    Anyone else having 510 or 508 problems tonight?

    I had a similar problem with a customer this week. The customer has a total of seven receivers. Yes, I know that six is the limit but that is a different topic. Anyway, five of the receivers are 501's and the other two are 622's. The customer would lose local channels during the hottest part of...

    Are Dish Network training classes free?

    My supervisor asked me if I would attend one being held in Columbia, SC. I said I would go but do not want to. Not that I couldn't learn from the class, I just hate to take the time off. I had surgery two weeks ago and will not be able to work for at least another week. I do not want say I...

    Trouble Call Question

    Thanks for the help. This dish is installed at a major airport in this area and it would be nice to at least be able to pretend I know what I am talking about when I get out there. :)

    Trouble Call Question

    I was certified about three years ago but I am not sure if that has expired. I have been installing satellites on a part time basis for ten years. The retailers I work for both sale Dish Network only so I have not really had a chance to experiment with D*. With Dish Net I usually aim the dish...

    Trouble Call Question

    I have to run a trouble call tomorrow and have a couple of questions. The customer says that the dish got bumped and needs to be reaimed. According to the work order the dish is receiving signals from 101, 110 and 119. What type of dish is this customer most likely using? I have never aimed...

    Poor signal strength on 110

    The customer is receiving locals from Augusta, Ga. I believe they are on transponder 20 but I could be wrong.

    Poor signal strength on 110

    The signal strengths varied from the mid to low 40's. I did try replacing the seperator but did not see any improvement. The receiver was replaced due to a "fatal" error when trying to access the DVR menu. The only thing I have not tried is using a single tuner receiver. The customer says...

    Poor signal strength on 110

    I am having problems with low signal strength on the 110 sat. I have replaced every piece of equipment at this customer's house with the exception of the dish. We are using a 625 and a DPP twin run through a seperator. The only transponders having this problem are 23, 25, 27 and 29 (I think)...

    Diplexer Issues

    A few weeks ago I posted a question concerning the use of diplexers to combine TV 2 signal with a satellite signal. I finally had a chance to try it but did not get very good results. The TV 2 picture was a little fuzzy. Is there anything that can be done about this? I used the Holland...

    Diplexers and DPP equipment question

    The distribution example shows a splitter and gives a specific frequency range. Is there any specific type of dipexer that should be used to do this?
