The problem appears to be that they assume you are guilty of fraud and put the burden of proof of innocence on you. They have every right to do it, but it is not a good business practice.

Well the simpliest way that they could tell would be to check signal strengths. IF they are all located in the same locale, they will all be on the same dish and thus have the same signal strength. Throw that into a checksum and have the customer read it off...and viola you have identified...

Wow, you're a jerk. Judge Judy would probably B* Slap you just for ratings. Anyway, Yes, both accounts are connected to the same billing phone number. We discussed this at length with Dish during the install and explained to them that it's a cabin that has no phone service. They said no...

Because the billing address/Phone number is the same on both accounts. The only difference is the Service Address.

Actually this is not correct. I live in southern Wisconsin. I have 2 accounts. One for my home here, and one for my cabin in Minnesota. The receivers in MN do not have a phone line to connect to (It's a cabin!), so the billing address and phone number is my home here. If they call me to...

My understanding is that you CAN cascade a 21 off of a 42. Never done it though. Just have to give it a try.

That's right...you have a twin. The Twin has a built in SW21, so you can not hook it to another SW21. You will get the results that you are seeing. Your twin will not work. Here's what you need to do: Use your dual LNB's (2 seperate LNBs on the yoke). Run 1 cable from the 119 LNB into...

Well, you could hook up just one side to a SW21, and it would work for the transponders on that polarity. Your locals are on TP4 and TP9. TP4 is horizontal polarity, and TP9 is Vertical. Here is the breakdown: TP4 - Horizontal WCHS TV 8 (ABC) Huntington WCHS 7315 WOWK TV 13 (CBS)...

Does the BJ sat have 2 outputs? Does the Primestar have 2 outputs? If the sat has 2 outputs, then one is H and the other is V. You can use an SW64 or SW44 to combine them. Those 2 switches lock the polarity, so they will work with the primestar LNB. The 42's and 21's will not do the...

Comparing locals to HD is just plain stupid. *sorry to be so blunt* Of course HD will be better. That is the point of HD (HIGH Definition) Now, comparing dish locals to OTA locals...that is a discussion. I cannot comment since I'm on Distant locals right now...my OTA is Nonexistent...

Like dlsnyder said...yep. I was in the same boat, had the twin. :) My parents had the dual though without a real use for it, so we swapped. THANKS MA!

Homemade superdish can only be done in "Legacy" mode right now. If you have access to a primestar dish, the LNB that comes with it will work. 1 or 2 outputs does not matter, either can be used. If it is a 2 output one (H and V), then you will need a SW64 to make it work. Just plug one...

Yeah, It adds 12 tests...and it doesn't really seem to matter in this situation. Maybe it's needed for the New 34 and 44 switches. :)

:) A picture says a thousand words....

Just wanted to brag that I got my poor man's dish at 121 working this morning. I watched Channel 900 for hours. j/k I'm guessing I'll be one of the few people watching Milwaukee locals when they come out Thursday. Sounds like SD installs will be into the middle of Jan. Parts needed for...
