The reason would be to minimize the number of customer service complaints from people that don't have any effing clue of the difference between LAN and WAN. :shh "You told me this router can do 300Mbs, but speedtest is only showing me 5Mbs." "And what service do you have?" "I'm on DSL 5 miles...

Yup - you're squeaky clean now. Sucuri Security It's been a long time, Scott! :eeek

Bingo. Someone finally came up with the REAL reason to ground your gear. :) Noting back to someone that said the LNBF wasn't attached to anything - well, it IS. The feedhorn probe will pick up static and a discharge can fry the beast. ;) Making sure the dish and the LNBF (via coax shield)...

I guess I picked a good day to come back to the forum! :)

Still no Denver HD (129 TP 4 spot) Update 03:00MDT Denver locals back online! :)

Sent via PM - and Hey There dfergie!

Thought you were younger than me. ;) FB is only scary if you surf naked and pet sharks - and I gotta tell ya, millions are that dumb. Doc and Joel are over there with me also beating sense into certain types of idiots. ;)

EDDIE! Dang man! You were early to the "good fight" - now that we're over on Facebook, I've missed your thoughts!

Hi guys! Been a LONG time. I saw a post from someone about timers not switching over from HD to SD. That's not quite right. Possibly depending on receiver model (622 here), and channel number (use the low ones), it WILL switch, but you might have to reboot the box. I am in the old habit...

There's 3 reasons for that: Bandwidth, bandwidth, and, um, oh yeah - bandwidth. If the providers didn't have to carry 714,629 copies of the SAME programming just to satisfy local pocketbooks (they've got to get their 3 minutes per hour of local ads in), we would have HD everything. :mad:

Hi guys! Been a long time since I've been around, but that's because my 622s run great - until now. One of them has decided to not display anything if I switch my monitor (a Dell LCD) from DVI (hooked to Dish HDMI out via an adapter) to VGA and back again. If I pull the DVI cable or...

I have a very good customer that is moving to Defiance, MO and I want him taken care of. He's got 2 DTV HD boxes and a bunch of surround sound hardware (but might need speakers in the new house). He won't be afraid to pay for quality work and he already knows about the $12/hour turkeys and...

Note that the DSL speed has NOTHING to do with whether you are running CAT5 or CAT6. There was a slight mis-statement a ways back about "CAT6 for internet". That should read "CAT6 for LOCAL network". CAT6 allows you to use Gigabit Ethernet without question. CAT5 will usually work, but is not...

Wow. First time back here in a few months and I happen to spot your post. YOU NEED TO CONTACT SOMEONE THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING ASAP!!! First, dang few electricians can even spell "satellite" let alone know how to wire for it. This is proven by him wasting your money on the "black box...
