No roaming locals Ron, I think Tom is right. Locals are determined by Zip, region, and whatever is going up to the sat. from that region. Been through that with Dish Mover's and out-of-towners. Best you could do out of region would be the interactive weather feature or Sling technology...

Dodger,the quote you have on your post says it all: "Glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of reality." YEAH! Anyone who hasn't seen and felt this hasn't been in the business long or is neck-deep in denial. We need this resistance to arbitrary authority,wherever we find...

Frankly,Clark,you're right. Lightning and hail will interrupt your service. Storms of rain and snow will block signal. The Earth supposedly shifted during a recent quake. Satellites can fail, have solar glare or electromagnetic haze blocking retransmission from the sat. Of course those crazy...

By the way, r10, nice going with the shocking headline lead-in. Ever work in newsprint? Maybe I should start one that says: Many Dish installers are scrambling to install former Cable and Direct customers! Just as much truth. As long as you narrow that view enough, you can say anything. All the...

Iceberg always looks ready to fight. I like this guy.

It's done everyday. Most Dish polars will fit right on there. As Ice mentioned above,some larger dishes would require larger masts with struts for added support. The cabling should be reusable, if it is undamaged RG-6. Satco's will sometimes ask for their LNB back, but I've never heard of them...

Improper cabling, ground, no silicone on mounting bolts or on one entry point. Dude just failed Dish QC bigtime.

The 1000.4 calls for 90lbs torque on dish bolts. Try skywalker.com for tech tools on the cheap, as well as fittings,cable etc. if these are not provided. Get a flat,spade-handled shovel and sharpen the edge with a grinder or file. Use this to cut the grass and fold it back when trenching cable...

89.5 is not perfectly plumb. This threw off your elevation, resulting in the 9 degrees difference. Like mentioned above-if it works leave it. Remember how far away the sat. is. A little mis-aim here will put you way off in space.

One can easily test a separator by removing the incoming sat. line, attaching straight to the rec. Do a checkswitch and look for missing sat's. If that port checks out, put sat. line on the other input, do checkswitch. Sometimes there,s a bad port on the rec.(input #1 or #2). I have had several...

Reset all the clocks in your house to match the receiver. Set the recording to start four minutes earlier. Don't mess with the receiver. Just joking. Try the above-mentioned reset, and maybe do a checkswitch.

First of all,welcome to our forum. Next, I have to say" WHY DO YOU WANT HIGH DEF IN A CAMPER?" I have worked on too many systems on campers. We have major campgrounds and lakes here. I am always amazed that people go to the woods and complain that their cellphone don't work, their is no wireless...

Where's this guy at again? I think he needs a radical uninstall.

All good advice above. I'm guessing weak splitter,though.

Follow above advice. If trees aren't a problem, settings or LNB failure could be the problem. Also check cabling and connections for moisture.

Are we still talking about subscribers? It is a milestone that Dish now has FOURTEEN MILLION subscribers! I feel like I put in about a million of them myself!

Must be nice to get medals for someone else's work. I have some pennies left from my Dish pay that I would sell reasonably! (HaHa) Good Luck! Looks like you have some bites already.

Check all connections. Take them apart with a 7/16" wrench if tight. Look for corrosion as mentioned above. Clean or replace bad fittings. Do a checkswitch. If that doesn't get it, check the LNB (eyes of the dish). Try replacing it if you can. Last in Dish protocol is the recvr. After...

When you call to upgrade, they will see existing equip. on the account. Ask the CSR if it is compatible. It should be.

P.S. The recvr. may have a seperator attached. It looks like a splitter. If this is attached, remove it and put the two cables from the dish where the shiny separator was. If on checkswitch, one of the inputs shows up missing satellites, try attaching the separator to the line on the good input...

What looks like a female end to the uninitiated is probably the typical male coax terminator. If it has a copper stinger, it is male. The two lines coming from the dish to the living room should be attached to the left rear of the recvr. at the ports marked sat input 1 and 2. Doesn't matter what...

Perfect spelling? Well, maybe some of us. Dish is a huge corporation and they move slow on some things. I have been a field tech with them for six years and have been around and around with them a few times. Just think, we will have the advantage when it comes to the national health plan- we...

Wherever they come from, the tech. should respect your wishes. Dish will backcharge NYC tech.'s just like anywhere else. I have had many work orders that read "Tech will see existing C-band equipment-leave intact." If your work order is worded like this, he will know before he arrives. Tell the...

As mentioned above, check L.O.S. for eastern and western arc. If you put it on a pole, be sure it is metal and set in concrete about 2 ft. deep. Don't bother with wood, as it will rot and warp,loosing signal, probably after installer's warranty is up. A good installer should have these things...

To clarify, the operator I.D. is three letters of the alphabet. If you get POW, you can use my joke and tell him he's never getting out of there!
