311k are supposed to work with any rg6 cable and any lnb, but they will not work with a regular splitter in the line. even though they aren't supposed to need it, they do work better when both inputs are getting signal if the the lnb is a dp plus twin, you can use 1 cable from the lnb to a...

They meant a 500+ dish for the 118 satellite. It is bigger than the dish you have now. If you are using a western arc dish they should be able to just replace it. Depending how it is mounted the may need to add support struts to it. If on the eastern arc, you will need a second dish and probably...

330 is not incredibly long. RG11 is probably overkill. 3Ghz Solid copper RG6 would work. Run at least 3 lines without any splices if you can. If you have signal problems, you can try a DPP44. It is not technically an amp, but I have seen them help with signal issues on very long cable runs. I'm...

Sounds like cable length issue between hopper and sj. You can have the node and integrator inside by the patch panel, but it will need another line coming in.

Did you let it download the software? I've seen 922s that won't recognize 77 with a 1000.4 ea lnb until it is has downloaded and another checkswitch is run

If using a 1000.2 eastern arc dish, you can also put a DPP44 or DPP33 switch in the house

they are everywhere http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40|R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=1000.2 eastern arc lnb&_sop=15&_clu=2&_fcid=1&_localstpos=16313&_stpos=16313&gbr=1&_zpclkd=1

you need a new receiver, it is only going to get worse

you are pointed too low and too far east already

there is a chance the lnb is bad we have been seeing a lot of older 1000.4 lnbs where the white plastic cover on the 72.7 lnb becomes brittle, cracks, and fills with water

Welcome. I wouldn't even try it replace the tap with a 2 way splitter and put 2 regular joeys in the workshop

does 72.7 have any footprint there?

clear a path to the tv and the installer won't care what the rest looks like if you try to set it up yourself and then need a service call on it, they would need to get in there anyway

in-house techs will not mount to a metal roof it may also void any warranty you have on the roof also, never let the roofers remount the dish

it's actually a known software issue on several types of receivers
