software glitch. reset and everything should be fine.

If all fails, RG11 is where it's happening. Make friends with a local cable guy and get a couple 100 ft. =)

220 ft with Dish Pro will work. You're signal will drop about 40% from the LNB to the receiver, but work it will.

It happens only at 4pm everyday - exactly?

Absolute right. You'll need a 1000.4 or a farm of dish 500's and a switch.

Only if you have an OTA module installed.

It could be very easy. The lines going to the TV2 rooms - are the ran directly from the receivers to the rooms are did the installer use diplexers? If there is only 1 line run to the receiver from outside then diplexers where used and the swapping of everything will be easy. If he ran lines...

There's 17db coming from the TV2 home distribution. A diplexar (working correctly) absorbes 2 db. Good quality rg6 3.0g swept tested looses ~4-5 db per 100 ft. Do the math and at the end of run (at your TV2) if your below below 0 db then you know there's too much in the line. If everything...

"This is happening all over the place in our local area. We have no idea what is going on". Sure do wish Dish had told me that over the phone instead of sending a tech & charging me money to do nothing but say that :mad: I called Dish support after the tech visit & got an American (thank you...

Stray voltage or high EMF will cause the electrons that are wrapping around the center conductor to unalign causing all sorts of problems. You're definately not crazy. I've seen it in the field. It doesn't happen often, but it has caused problems.

Yes, I did. Inputs. =)

You have to get a 500+ dish kit.

The 211 and 211k are very similiar; that is, all if the same except the 211k comes with new 21.0 learning remotes and internally has a more efficient cooling mechanism. The 222k has the new learning remotes and is capable of having an OTA module installed so that the number 2 TV can watch the...
