slammed in pittsburgh.

has your temp been fluctuating lately? if it has look at your fittings. water does not have to creep into them to cause trouble. ive been on a lot of service calls where sunk fittings are the reason for loosing channels. when it warms and cools outside the stinger can recess itself just enough...

i've most likely seen and installed more h20 and hr20's then you have so i am well aware of what they are and are not capable of. in fact they are capable of showing alteration in signal strength numbers assuming you know how to highlight the + button and cycle through the satellites and back to...

you can use the reciever just fine to aim one of these things. all a signal meter is is a reciever thats convienient to move and doesnt need a tv. first off you need to ditch the azimuth you got from the website. the azimuth from the website and even the one on the screen for the h20 is...

where do you live cleveland? dude i live in pittsburgh and i have 2 birdogs and an accutrac 22. pay for my gas to get there and show me a good local lake to fish assuming you fish, and you can borrow the thing all day while im at the lake. my price is 20$ or so for the gas one way and a...

you need to switch to jim because your boy chad is ripping you a new one. i got both of my birdogs for 400 shipped.

just get some U clamps from a hardware store and mount a pole to the fire escape outside your window. thats an at-9 on the roof right across from you so you have a line of sight, hell you have a line of sight for high def if you really want it. there is no way the top of the building is more...

thats bizzare it wasnt effecting anything else besides hd locals. deffinatly not my first guess thats for sure.

in all honesty a small indentation is probably not gonna do it but its always possible. i would look at any and all connectors and f barrels in the line the whole way back to the switch. if they are sunk or corroded or moisture is present etc any of those can do it. if your multiswitch is...

rg6 f conn. seems like a dumb reason to loose locals but its the first and only thing i did. removed it, the dielectric was sunk a little bit so i whacked it off and replaced it. plugged it back in and it was good to go. some real simple things can cause alot of problems.

just did a service call today with the exact same problem, everything except hd locals. it ended up being a bad fitting at the back of the ird.

get a squirt gun (supersoaker preferably) and fill it with rubbing alcohol. i have done about 20 service calls in the past 2 days and 19 of them were snow on the dish. dont get me wrong i'll take the easy money but im sure you guys want your tv back on asap.

when i read this all i could seem to picture was dr. evil demanding 1 million dollars and a bunch of politicians laughing at him.

quoted from the sternabond website. http://www.eternabond.com/install/wet.htm not trying to be picky here but its stuff like this that is the difference between my liability insurance staying the same or going through the roof. after many years in the electrical trade and seeing what...

for one i am not a roofer. two, i am in business to make money, not loose it via lawsuit. everything i have found at home depot etc and i stress "that i have found" always recommends being applied to a dry surface. now to someone doing thier own roof repair that may be negligable but to me i...
