    DTV and Dish on one-

    I understand that I cannot use the DP stuff with DTV. But, can the DP34 switch be used with the DTV Para Todos dish (Sep. LNB's)? Or does the DP34 only work with DishPro dishes?

    DTV and Dish on one-

    Well, we have Dish right now and I am very happy with it. We are running one 301 and one 522 so a total of three lines. Problem is, we don't get locals and I don't want to put up a Superdish (Apartment is allowing me to put my dish on the corner of the building on the other side). I decided...

    Questions about dish pointing and OTA antenna.

    Well, I am not gonna tell you that its impossible, but it can be tricky. If you have never done it before, give yourself a good afternoon. It is a single LNB, so it is easier, but you still have to make sure you are peaking it out as much as possible. I'll tell ya, the best way to do it, is...

    Think you have it bad...

    I honestly don't know who did the install, but it was in the Norfolk area so you shouldn't be in that region. They are going to look into it. But, I must say, that it was grounded, so credit has to be given there I guess...

    Think you have it bad...

    I went on a service call today on a voom. It reminded me of those pictures that has like 50 different things wrong with it and you have to find them. Here is what I found wrong with the person who did the install. 1. Signal strength 52% 2. OTA antenna was mounted on the same mast as the...

    I don't know if anyone has actually seen the new software yet, but today I did. If this has been posted, then sorry, but if it hasn't, I will tell you about it. It came loaded on the unit I installed today. First off, when you turn on the unit, a splash screen comes up that says VOOM and at...

    New Sirius Lineup July 7th, 2004!

    I just subscribed to Sirius today and the guy helping me out was telling me about the lineup. He said the exact same thing as you Scott about the Beatles channel! Still playing around with the setup and comparing to my XM. Time to go have some fun!

    Arkon SR85 Mount Review

    Well, I recieved the Arkon SR85 in the mail yesterday, got it installed and have to say initial thoughts on it are good to excellent.

    VOOM Installations

    Here is what I have noticed with the two. The stealth is really picky, must be aimed. It has to have the amplifier installed inside the antenna by the tech. It doesn't come with it, it is an extra part that they physically install inside the antenna. Then the power supply should be put...
