Showing my ignorance (which is why I PAID SOMEONE TO DO THIS) I thought I HAD a commercial system. I PAID for a commercial system.

I appreciate all the help. This particular vendor has been cutting corners from day 1. It's been a battle just to get them to achieve specs. The fact they appear to be right is more by accident I suspect. But, I'll make the best of what I have and work on my alternate systems. Thanks.

It's been peaked. It is above everything else for blocks around so it has an absolute clear view. I am stuck with the amps. My hope was the bigger dish would increase the SNR and allow me to operate in a little heavier weather. Size really isn't a concern, it's hidden from view. The $500-$1000...

I'd love to lose the amps, but stuck with them on a 600'+ cable run.

Having some problems getting my replies to "take". We are running RG11. Dish is on the top of the elevator penthouse, 11 floors up. No obstructions. No sway. Running RG11 about 150' to an amp. From there, about a 400' run of solid RG11, no barrels, down an abandoned shaft to my IT closet where...

Wow, never even thought of that, but I don't think so. 10 story building and I'm on the elevator penthouse. I have a number of microwaves up there and have never had a problem with them. But WOW I NEVER thought about that.

Hmmmm. DTV is my HD option, but that's good to know. I have 20 tuners in a head in system. Each tuner is set to a specific channel and rarely changed. There is no "direct access" really to change them. But, I could set up an SD alternate for the key channels. I fear I've spoiled a lot of my...

I am in an Emerg Operations Center in KC, the very heart of America. Obviously, television is a critical part of our operation, especially during the harshest of weather. We use a combination of OTA, cable and DirecTV, but DTV has our broadest range of channels, so we want to get the most out of...
