Most cable companies call the lowest priced package the Life Line Package.

I doubt StarBand will authorize your system for operation on the 101W satellite. You will probably need to aim at IA7 at 129W. Also you will have to have your installer certification number before you can set it up and commission the modem. Find a local StarBand dealer to help you and good...

If the equipment in question is DHA leased equipment, DISH retains ownership of the equipment. I only charge sales tax on what ever money actually changes hands to my dealership, usually only the tax on the activation fee. If the customer upgrades th HD and pays the $199 upgrade then tax would...

The 2 way both port power passive splitter will work if the frequency range is what you stated. I have installed many customers this way for the wife to arange her furniture. You may need the phone line at both locations if you want or need it. Paul

Most likely your dish 1000 has been moved by the storm. A misaligned dish 1000 will display the symptoms you describe. Paul

There have reports of defective LNB's on the Super Dishes affecting the local channels. This has been caused by heat. Try running some cold water over the 105 LNB to cool it down. If this works you need to call your dealer to come and replace the LNB. Paul

Geronimo He needs the SW21 to cascade a DISH 500 legacy Twin LNBF with a DISH 300 for 61.5 . So of course the only thing that economically will work is a SW21 switch. Paul

A $1.50 mo. is all. :)

bmwaaron, let me pose a question to you. Would you as a retailer invest $349 plus shipping and then install it to an existing customer to only make $25.00 minus what you spent for shipping? I am not trying to be mean but I don't know about you but my money being tied up for 2-3 weeks to...

I just installed an 811 system today for a new customer. I didn't notice any fan noise and the OTA worked good but would lock up intermittently while changing local channels. The only thing I could do was to front panel power off five seconds and wait for it to power down and then turn it back...

For a Dish 500 I would use 1-1/4 inch rigid conduit as it is reasonably economical and it is galvanized so it will remain rust free for a long time and if you clean off the oil residue it will take paint. As an alternative use 1-1/4 inch schedule 40 iron water pipe. Paul

I believe Charlie said the customer would get the 322 activated but the dealer wouldn't get any compensation. Paul
