    Could equipment be damaged? Cant get Dish500 going!

    Pepper, You read my mind, my next question was regarding cable length. I'm actually on a 200ft cable. I do have some slack I need to cut out, about 15ft or so. I knew it was going to be a long run, so I installed RG6, Quad shield with solid copper center conductor. So far Ive been able to get...

    Could equipment be damaged? Cant get Dish500 going!

    Thanks for your reply. I think I'm getting somewhere. I finally got a signal on both satellites now when I was aiming for just 110. 110 has a signal of about 50 and 119 about 20 which is way to low. But, at least I'm hitting them both now.

    Could equipment be damaged? Cant get Dish500 going!

    Thanks for your replies. Fanquon. Not sure what you mean by normal installation procedure? I didn't know there was a procedure. I just simply connected everything and powered up. Al, I triple check to make sure the mast is perfectly straight again. I wont be back to the dish until Thursday so...

    Could equipment be damaged? Cant get Dish500 going!

    Hi All, I used this site for reference plenty of times, but this one I need to post. I'm lost here. I have a PVR508 with latest 4.07 firmware. A dish500 dish with DP Twin Lnb. I cannot for the life of me get both 110 & 119 at the same time. If I lock on to 119, I cant adjust the skew to get...
