    Question about install today

    I can't even begin to count the number of service calls I do that the fittings or cables need to be changed. I recabled a 4 receiver house today - it had a huge crawl space (I could stand up under the house) and the existing cabling was wrapped around the house with RG-59.... The only thing I...

    Frustrating SWM tuner drop issue

    Without testing it myself, the SWM splitter (1x4) may be bad. Just a guess, but if it is, it will likely start failing on the other receiver's soon as well.

    hr24dvr and 2 lines

    That will work fine - but, you got the SWM LNB to avoid the 2nd line..........You need nothing else except a 2nd BBC. Remember to remove the BBC's when you fire up the SWM LNB.

    Question About Converting to SWM

    2 way SWM splitter will run 2 HD/DVR's (4 tuners). No more than 8 tuners to a SWM LNB. If you have a 2 way downline, must have 8 way closest to dish. Will work with 4 way splitters...for awhile.

    technical advice needed

    all evens on 103ca are 0 not bbc problem - ca does not require bbc to come in. 99 and 103 cb require bbc. only evens are 0- center conductor corrosion. Plus I can change tilt about 6 degrees and not lose 119, not so for 99/103.

    technical advice needed

    If you're seeing zero's on all even's for 103, I would suspect corrosion in a connect on the feed to the multiswitch 103 18 volt input.

    Errors on both tuners HR23/700 Sat 99 and 103

    BBC's are not required for any SWM installation. Check tilt for your area and adjust accordingly. repeak via same method.

    technical advice needed

    Your dish needs to be aligned properly. Sounds like your tilt is off a little. If you could post your signal strengths it would help alot.

    A problem with my service...

    Also check your signal levels. If your odd transponders all show 0's, I would guess that the cable running to it needs to be replaced.....if your even transponders all show 0's, I would check to see which fitting has the corroded center conductor..

    Record Symbol with an X

    Don't think it's new, but, I think you're spot on with the repeat, already recorded or #3 priority.

    New To DTV have many ????

    Do you have ANY standard def receivers? Do they have a Band Stop Filter on them? If not - that's what's causing the problem with the MRV. And call your install tech - he may welcome the opportunity to correct his install and avoid a repeat service call. You're welcome

    Some Sonictap channels missing

    I've never had to do a 3 -> 5 LNB change on a service call. I've done a few 5 -> 3 changes because of Line of Sight issues with trees growing out to block the 119 since the original install - and most of those have been 5 - 10 yrs after the install.
