Thanks to all for the input. I bought 440' of the 1694A at $0.35 per foot shipped. If it doesn't work, I'll have to try my hand at RG-11:eek:.

Thanks, I’ve been doing that for years but reminders are always welcome. I don’t mind in the least working with quad cable. I do live in a very rural location but you never know how much interference is in the area. I’ve never worked with RG11. I would need new tools and fittings. I may...

The 1829A is the steel center. Is the 5339B5 a twin coax? I can't find many specs on it.:( So what is the difference between swept tested 3 GHz or 4.5 GHz in my application?

Due to tree growth, I will have to move my antenna 180-200 feet from my receiver. What co-ax cable would have the least loss? Does swept tested at 3 GHz or 4.5 GHz make a difference? During research on forums, it seems the tri-shield is a bit more preferred over the quad. What do you guy’s...

I'm also leaning towards a bad in port on the LNB. I do have a 522 on hand. Would that work as a test?

I have software L365. When I first ativated it took 30-45 minutes for running check lists and downloading information and everything has been fine on the Dish 500. Now hooking up the 61.5 as a direct feed, I have the Sat recognized with a good signal. Whin I re-hook up the DPP, the system does...

My 622 was activated about 2 weeks ago. I'll be glad to try your advice. I don't have any external switchs on my system. On my way now.:) :hungry: for HDTV.

Well it worked, sort of. I got a great signal (98/125) running a direct cable from the second dish and the system reconized the 61.5 satellite. When I hooked everything back up, I still got a 98 on 61.5 but the reciever did not reconize 61.5 Sat unknown. I then ran a switch test and 110 & 119...

Thanks, I'm on my way.

I had a 522 and upgraded my TV to a plasma, so I in turn upgraded to a 622. I was hooked up on a Dish 500 with DPP running one coax lead to my 622 and the other coax to a second reciever. I installed a second dish (Winegard 78cm) with a Dish Pro LNB and I ran a coax from it to the unused...

I don't mean to hijack this thread but my question might be related. How do I find out what satellite my local HD is broadcast from? I'm new to HDTV and in the learning curve.

I’m upgrading from a 522 to a 622 receiver. I’ve unpacked everything from the shipping box and read all the paperwork and the manual. Nowhere do I find the setup instructions. What gives with that? Is it supposed to be intuitive or what? Does anyone know if it’s the same setup as the 522 or...

garys Good thought. I have a 70cm Winegard dish hanging around doing nothing. I may as well put it to work. What LNB do I need? Dual or twin? Or is there a single? TIA.

What bird has the stronger signal? 129 or 61.5? It it helps, I'm at N33 and W87. The 1000.2 dish looks nice.

I finally bought a HDTV and need to know everything about hooking it up to my Dish account. Is there an upgrade option to trade in my old reciever? What dish do I need? I now have a Dish500 w/DPP+ I usually do all my own hook up's. Any answers will be greatly appreciated.:D
