Welcome to Satellite guys! I use to contract install for Cable companies and switched over to Dish systems about six months ago. I do know that many installers, especially in house guys, do crappy work. Not all of them, but most of them. Funny thing about your install experience is that I had...

Well guys, I made the switch from Cable modem to DSL earlier this week. So far, I have no complaints. I did get kicked off line and had to re register my modem once, but that was due to a power outage. I know that my cable was faster, but my DSL is 1.5 and that is fast enough for me since I...

Welcome to Sat Guys! I am in the same boat as you. I prefer Dish Networks pricing for television, but I have to hava high speed internet service. I just ordered DSL. A customer rep called me last week and said it would only be 26.00 a month and I would get two months free for switching from...

Apocrapha is right. One other thing you can do is check to see if any neighbors recently got dish installed. If so, you will need to make sure that either your receiver or theirs is turned off before resetting your 2 remote address. If both receivers are on then when you switch your IP it will...

I used to contract for Charter and because they didn't have fiber ran or new digital equipment tie ins for the retro, they had to use a satellite to obtain the digital for their DAC 2000 boxes with a phone line ran for return line. This would tie in to their analog lines. By doing this their...

I was talking with some other techs and my supervisor said that it is possible that a HAM radio operator or radar detector could be causing that problem. I am going to call customer tomorrow to see if it is still doing it. Thanks for the feedback.

I contracted for several cable companies and am now currently doing satellite installs, both DTV and Dish. There is good and bad with both cable and satellite. I guess that it depends on the indvidual and what they want with their TV's. The one thing that I did like about working for cable is...

I install satellites and my bestfriend is high up in Adelphia cable. We just had this discussion the other day. Not the salaries of Athelets, but the price increases imposed to both dish companies and cable companies. It is true that ESPN is mainly resposible for these companies having to...

Yeah, I am sure though that thier remotes are on different IP addresses. I drove around the block and didn't see any other Dishes. I was just curious to see how often this happens. Thanks for the feedback.

I am a Colts and Cowboys fan, so I hate both teams in the bowl this year. I still can't believe that the Colt's offense was held to only a field goal against the Pats. I guess that I would rather see the Eagles win over the Pats, but I doubt that will happen. Good poll though.

Today I went out on a service call and the work order said that the customer was having problems on tv2. The receiver was a 322 and the customer told me that while watching on tv2(backfeed) that the channels would change on it's own. I noticed that the neighbors had recently had Dish installed...

Thanks for the Thread. It really helped out. It seems like there is a lot of hype surrounding Wild Blue and that nobody can really know for sure how it will do until it is being installed and customers are giving experienced feedback.

Hey Guys, Thanks for the feed back. I am not sure how much the equipment cost. I checked out their website at www.wildblue.com and it states that the speed is up to 1.5 mbps. The cost is 49.95 per month with the standard 12 month agreement just like Dishnet and Directv. I hope that it is a...

Has anyone installed Wild Blue highspeed internet service yet? If so, how much is it paying to the installer and how difficult was it? I have customers ask me all the time if we have highspeed internet and I know that there is a huge market for it here where I live. The company that I work for...
