    Join the SatelliteGuys Folding@Home Team!

    Yeah me I checked the team standings on my work computer and had a hard time finding myself. I was looking to far down it turns out I have cracked the top 100. I guess leaving my work computer on 24-7 really helps.

    DVR crashes 38 times in one month, 5 units replaced so far

    The damage that was done to the DVR before you tried the fix may be causing it. I would replace it one more time this time since the ground wire is already cut it should be okay. A short in the coax well I am not going to say there is no way but its very slim chances the same with a bad LNB one...

    DVR crashes 38 times in one month, 5 units replaced so far

    Do not use a power strip or a UPS plug it directly into the wall with adapter on the plug that goes from 3 prongs to 2 prongs (most dollar stores have them) and cut our ground wire or unhook it from the ground block . I install Dish and the receivers sometimes have issues with the grounding...

    Another grounding question

    There should be a wire coming from the ground block tothe service ground for the house. But if there is not I would not worry about it. More often than not grounding a unit creates more problems

In theses cultures its normal to have extended family living with you. But as far as E* is concerned its 2 families and...

    Dish's LNB is defective and I have to pay?

    You should think about it like a deductible for your car insurance if you were in a accident would you expect the car fixed for free. I know most will not agree with me but I dont care. It costs money to send a tech out to replace the LNB. Why should dish have to absorb all the cost of everybody...

    Locals.

    I know the Syracuse SD locals are not carried on the 1000.4. A lot of people get mad when they don't get CBS and others because they are not in hd and not on the EA. So foolishly I assumed all DMA were that way. My bad
