    Locals Giving A Problem

    Never did get this problem straightened out, so I'm back with Signal Strengths to see if any of the wise people on here can get me in the right direction. It is a SWM dish and the only receiver I have which is a HDDVR Satellite 101 Tuners 1 & 2 are almost identical 1-8 94, 83, 95, 69...

    Weird Question

    Other than unplugging the Power Inserter, is there another way to reset it? I will try to bypass the SWM splitter today after work, also its the only receiver in the house.

    RF Remotes Loses RF

    I appreciate the walk through, but as a senior installer I have done all of that. As stated the remotes worked when I initally set the bar up with these three remotes. I just wish deep down that the customer wouldve sprung for another universal RTI remote for that side of the room like he did...

    RF Remotes Loses RF

    Yes, the only thing I havent tired was seeing if I missed a software upgrade to any of the receivers.....but I doubt that would cause the setting to the RF to just drop.....new batteries, reset boxes, reset remotes back to IR, then tried to go back to RF....only 1 receiver went back to RF.

    RF Remotes Loses RF

    I have a bar that I installed 3 H21's in and then purchased the RF remotes from Perfect10. I had all 3 RF remotes running fine, then all of a sudden all 3 stopped working and I could only get 1 to return to RF mode, the other 2 are running IR which I cant have as the boxes are concealed behind...

    Extra line during install.

    As an independant contractor, I dare to put my .02 in on this. If I show up at a customers house and the work order calls for a 4 room installation, that that is what they get 4 rooms installed. Dont matter to me if they want all 4 receivers in the same room. I will run 4 wires to the same...

    No direct line of sight to southern sky

I have had quite a few that after declaring that they deffinately had NLOS, tell me that i...

    Satellites and trees

    I actually do installs in PA. I just did a gentleman out in the eastern side of NJ where I had to put the KA/KU above the garage/spare house. I then proceded to run 2 runs of dual coax each run was 230 ft aprox. The guy has not had one problem except for a lighting strike taking out his 6 x 8...

    Directv and ADT???

    We were notified this week that closing jobs must be done on site due to a new survey. We still dont close the jobs on site, but instead my partner closes the job and play the role of the customer. They in fact asked me if I owned my home, first time I said no and they said thank you and hung...

    If the H20 box has a yellow or green HMDI sticker on it, then you got one for free in the box.
