    2nd Install date, new guy confirmed that the last installer ran from the job

    It's policy for "internal" technicians to supply either a component or HDMI/DVI cable solution for every HD install.

    Roof Leak from dish... I pay for it, AND to move Dish?

    I've found silicone loses it's ability to shed/block water after a short time used that way. Pitch pad on the other hand is wonderfull (tar based product). It just has to be used correctly.

    Calling Dish experts.. Is the following installation correct?

    your elevation is too low by 1 to 1 1/2 degree. Typical installer mistake. They went by the "perscribed settings" in the manual by zip code. That does not take the weight of the lnbf/arm sag into consideration.

    This may be due to the "mode" you've set the receiver to. Try "swap".

    Condo/Apartment Cable Lock Box Access

    Not disagreeing with you one bit... the following is just an opinion. DNS techs think the same thing about retail/sub contractors whether it's true or not. The truth is there isn't much difference between the two really... it's the indiviual that decides the quality of the install whether...

    Left E*, how long before I am considered a new customer?

    Actually as E* is trying to approach 13million by end of this year there are different "deals" going down. Give them a call... explain you can't stand cable any more. You made a mistake... repent... repent... They may set you up as a former customer with "new" customer advantages.

    Need opinions on possible install problem

    Test your signal on 119 transponder 11 - assure it is over 80, if not set up a tc or retune. I would speculate the tech moved the dish due to signal block on 119 sat from a tree. It is possible he did not move it enough. E* uses different technology that D* in that we can send two signals...
