Yeah, I saw that too. THAT post had a trip wire attached to the pin!!!

Roger that. I figured that was how it was. IR won't go through walls, but is less expensive, so one of them would have to be. Thanx for the info! My neighbor will be all set up fairly soon. ~WT (?) What if there are two duals in the place, are the UHF remotes set up so they won't...

BINGO! Thanks buddy, that's what I thought. How can you tell if they are UHF?

Got news! A year ago in the west Tennessee area, Directv installers were being fired right and left for doing installs with no phone line connection. They were not allowed to do work order closings on the road to the next install, they had to be right there with the customer. The audit nazis...

Example #2 is most like what I found, but it is being done with two dual recievers. I still need info on the remotes though - is one of them IR, and the other one RF? Or are they both RF, with different identifier codes programmed in by the user? (Since one has to function from a seperate...

You have a good point - I should line one out with my graphics program and post it. I still need to look at where all the cables run in my friends attic though - I suspect the sat2 and out2 line comes straight up to the attic above, and that the original system was a single LNB that had a triple...

Okay - so now the layout is beginning to make a whole lot more sense. Of four lines in, from a triple and one single LNB, one punches right through the wall into a room near the dish mounts, and three other run up into the attic above it. I suspect it was an upgrade. One of the dish feeds...

So - the secondary dish input and the output to the second TV are being carried on one continuous cable in other words, yes? In thinking about this - is this done so that only one line needs to be fished down to the room from the attic in support of the SAT2 and TVOUT2?

I was trained for DirecTV, so I don't know all the ins and outs of DISHNET. My neighbor has a setup with 2 dual tuners - and wanted to relocate a line and/or box. But I have not seen a connection setup like this thing before. The sat 1 line is pretty obvious, as is the output 1. Sat2...

Expect to spend a lot of your own cash at first - they don't clue you in at the front end, but you are going to be doing a lot of driving, and at first your workload will be too skinny to make anything back. You will also be paying for a lot of specialised equipment, and that is deducted from...

Look- if you want to nail it dead square, here is what I recommend: If there is a portable tv or any tv near where the dish is installed that can be or IS connected to a reciever, either bring it outside, or put it in a window. If this cannot be done, turn up the volume of the tv loud enough to...
