also time of day was just a coincidence. probably cause i kept coming in the morning to try and fix it every day.

as for the "glitch", it was explained to me but I had bad cell service but it was somewhere along the lines of the h24's looking for a DVR and none being present.

I had to order some new amps from Sonora yesterday for another job I'm doing and one of the technical support guys (Johnathan Smith. He's know his SH** and I rarely give anyone that credit when it comes to Directv) asked me how the job went and before I could finish he was like dude you should...

I figured it out. All the boxes were h24-700's and those boxes have a glitch. I tried doing a software download and it stood on zero. After a while it would just try to load the guide data than it would give me a 771a error. I looked at the signal levels and everything was fine so that lead me...

Cost is not an issue and this is in Manhattan. No Directv technician would be allowed do any work in this building. Also I know it can be done since I've done it with a KaKu a few years back. We were able to get 4 lines down about 600' with perfect signal using some type of signal booster I just...

I need to install SWM dish in a bar. The dish will be on the roof 800 feet/49 floors up. There will be a total of 10 tuners. there's an rg-11 that already runs down but from what i remember (haven't done installs in 2 years) since I need 10 tuners I would need 4 lines coming down to a swm-16. I...
