    Can't win for losing - strike three on attempted new install

    I just can't seem to get the planets aligned to get my DirectTV Genie system installed. Just went through the third attempt with no luck - took the morning off from work again - alas, no Genie. First try was not the tech's fault - poor weather was resulting in waivers for picture quality...

    Looking for advice on antenna for northern KY area - TV Fool included

    Hello, I am scheduled to have Direct TV install satellite service for me using the old location on a chimney where the DISH equipment used to be. They will be using a SWM dish, so one of the RG6 coax runs from the old dual LNB will be available for a rooftop antenna. I want to route the OTA...

    Is RG59 OK to use between Genie and mini clients?

    There goes a 1/2 day of vacation for nothing! Had installation scheduled for today (third try), and the tech said since house is wired with RG59 coax he could not complete the install. Now I understand that RG6 is required between the main Genie, the dish, and the SWM, but I thought either RG6...

    Trying to find info on the new HR54 wirelss system - can anyone help?

    I did several searches, but could not find a whole lot of info. Specifically, I have a wall mounted TV on my covered deck, and while it has a coax connection going to it that a Genie client could use, that same coax is split off of the one that feeds upstairs, and also goes to our family room...

    Need to get approximate azimuth for DirecTV dish used with Genie for northern KY

    I have an appointment to have DTV come out and set me up with the Genie system this Saturday. I have DISH currently, and their satellite dish is located up on my chimney on top of the roof. With the recent snowfall in our area, it is doubtful that a tech will be able to get up there to install...

    Has the HR44 solved the problems with Genie freezing up?

    Thinking about switching from DISH to DirecTV, especially if DISH does not want to step up to the plate and come close to matching the offer DTV made for their Genie. Have been comparing Genie to Hopper, and they are similar in many ways, but I am concerned about the many complaints out there...

    Will I need to pull more cable to upgrade from SD to HD?

    Hi Folks, I have a Dish 500 setup with a SD 522 dual tuner receiver with DVR. We are considering an upgrade to HD in the near future, and we want to stay with the dual tuner. I had a "lazy" installer the last time who did a poor job of installing the dish on my roof - I had a leak and...

    New LCD TV won't detect channel 60

    I recently purchased a new LCD HDTV that will be run off of TV2 on my 522 dual channel receiver, which means I will have to use the coaxial antenna input on the TV. Last night, I plugged it in for the first time, and I could not get the autoprogram for the TV to recognize channel 60, which is...

    How far can you run RCA cables?

    I read on this site that you only get stereo sound on a X22 if you use the RCA connections instead of the CH3/4 Coax. Since I was planning to locate the receiver in a closet out of site, this presents a problem. One solution may be to fish a long set of RCA cables above the ceiling to the TV...

    Need advice - # of co-ax from dish?

    I will be getting DISH installed on Monday. House has a finished basement, so routing new co-ax will be difficult. Currently, I only have 1 co-ax cable running into a closet where signal is split to various rooms throughout the house. I understand that for a dual-tuner reciever (322) you...

    4900 Receiver with new install?

    I'm a newbie to all of this, so bear with me. Currently I am signed up to have DISH installed with two 322 receivers next week. A friend told me that he had DISH a couple of years ago and still has his 4900 receiver laying around, and I could have it if I want to try it. This has caused me to...

    IR-to-UHF with a 322 receiver?

    I am scheduled to have DISH install a new dish and 322 receiver next week. I would like to locate the receiver in a closet that currently houses the splitters for the coax runs that go to various rooms in the house. My plan was to split the signals to several TV's throughout the house that are...
