    A few installation questions

    if you have 2 ft of snow, the ground probably isn't froze that deep. I'm told 150 ft is the limit is the limit on cable length. I've gone further. He shouldnt use the C-band wire, the distance can cause problems sometimes, but I know alot of people who do.

    What's included with "Standard Professional" install?

    There is a fee for phone lines, wall fishing (if it is over 5 ft), mirroring and remotes other than the ones in the box.

    New Dish Mounts

    we use to take the side plates frome the old Superdish roof mounts and bolt them to the bottom of the pipe. These Smarthome items are cool enough but they require far more forethought that is usually used when doing an install. I have always used just plain silicone and have never had a leak...

    I don't see any reason not to try to sell off the old equipment. Afterall they are selling 2800's yet. I don't think they will sell to many of these renumbered rejects.

    Installed my 118.7 Dish 1000+ Today - GREAT Results! Comments/Feedback Welcome

    not to be picky but you need some better fittings and some weather seals wouldn't hurt. are any of your connections corroded??? little things like that will give you trouble that is hard to trace. You also need to change those Low Frequency ground blocks, the DPP44 switch can burn those out...
