Has anyone of the old timers out there ever heard of a D* provider known as N.A.C.E.? I do not know who they are but I am interested in getting as much information on them as possible. I have been told that they are an MSO, although I have my doubts to the like. I am interested in them as I am...

the reason d* does not recommend wooden post for installs is due to the fact that they do tend to warp as they dry in the sun and then twist back the other way as they absorb moisture in the wet seasons. It may not happen to you , but please believe me, it happens. I have seen dozens of...

This is a growing trend in this industry, the HSp and DNS will continue to provide D and E with a "Quality" install while taking 30 to 50 percent of what should go to the installer. Now I know I am about to incite some issues here but lets look at this logically for a moment.. If you work as a...

try using a lband amplifier to hold the signal strength up.

I say mount it in a bucket, if the wind ever hits it it only has a fail rating of 85 mph and a 100% destroy rating at 100 mph, no problem, the wind could never move it in a bucket. Sarcasm aside, this dish is a windsail, dont use anything less than a tripod, your signal will thank you.

this is funny, Those of us doing the multiple dwelling installs (Condos and apartments) have had this capability for about a year. the drawback, large, large, large cost up front, availability of parts, trained installers that understand the technology. My suggestion, wait a couple of...

As an installer in this field, let me offer you my apologizes. This dish is not grounded as per NEC, not installed as per DISH Net guidelines and is overall a piss poor job. 1. The ground blocks must be near the house ground(NEC) 2. The use of an additional ground rod is not acceptable...

One question, did you take into effect that a dish installed at an apartment also has to follow the NEC.

Stupid question, are you installing the attenuators that come with the recievers?, just a thought

BB is using a headend processing rack supplied by Pace electronics with three 1 meter dishes to feed the signal into the recievers, the output is pumped up to 15dBm on a homerun cable, no loopbacks. That is why it is as clear as it can be, oh and add in the in store DVD simulcast of the D8...

dish is in production, possibly in release in late 2nd qtr 2006

it is your best interest to pull all new lines yourself, go with solid copper if you can get it.

give me a call at 850-291-1414 and I will give you instructions how to set up the dishes to work, we use multi dish setups all the time in the commercial field. Dan

try contacting Jack at Pace Electronics for the RG 11, about 100.00 for 1000 feet, 1-850-474-3900

simple solution, have them install the recievers, then let them plug it into the house line, done, it does not say it has to be an active line, tell D on the phone that you are a cell customer and they will not send a recall signal, nuf said
