buy a terminator tool off ebay for ~$15.00, just don't use it for anything other then getting into the house box.

If the upper channels look bad on all tv's it is probably a old splitter in the house box, A bad drop cable (cable coming from pole or pedestal to house), or possibly the outlets themselves (but unlikely that all the outlets would be bad). Also make sure you don't have any push on jumper running...

Agreed Amplfiers are awesome!

Meant to say 5-1000 Mhz splitter. The cable modem should have a signal level between -4.0 DB to +4.0 DB preferably 0.0 DB on channel 107 or 693 mhz to work properly. With a return level of 47-51. The digital box including digital channels is going to work if channel 107 is somewhere between...

What I would do is Take the line coming in to the house into a two way splitter. From one of the legs of the two-way I would run my cable internet outlet. The other leg of the splitter I would run to the input of a 3-way splitter and then run the outlet with your digital (HDTV Box) off the of...

Do you live in a house or a apartment? If you live in a house the coax line coming from the tap to your splitter should be grounded either on the outside of the house or at the splitter it's self provided it's in a basement. This ground wire should be ran to a cold water pipe, or ground rod...

You can do this, I would recomend using a High Quality Splitter. A low quality splitter could make your return level of your modem jump to high and make your modem go online and offline all the time.

I'm all set to have my 522 installed on the 8th of Jan. Will this receiver come with the updated software or will it have to download?

I called today and asked for the 522 with my existing 322 as long as I keep them both hooked up to a phone line my bill did not Change. DBS & Name based recording here I come.

Would it benefit me to go ahead and call to get a 522 instead of a 510? My intial thought process was I would do a 522 on the main big screen in the living room, using just the one tuner and then a 322 for the bedroom & kids room upstairs.>This is what I ordered intially. I then called...

If I go ahead and ask for the 522 are they going to want me to hook it up to a second tv? My landlord doesn't have a problem with the dish or the holes in the wall it's just my personal preference. I can't wait until I buy a house (hopefully sometime next year) so I can just go ahead and do...

Thanks TuxCoder that makes alot more sense now. Kinda was I was thinking but I was not sure. Can't wait until January!

I called Dish several days ago and ordered a 510/322 as a new customer. My scheduled install date is January 8th (Digital Dish must be really busy in my area). Anyway my questions are. How does the 322 hook up to my second tv? The rep on the phone said it was a coax cable and from what I...
