    Another comment on Dish Installers

    Don't blame the installers, blame Dish Network. It's their responsibility to see that their employees are properly trained, equipped and up to date on the latest channel information. Hell, I'm a retailer, and I get way more information from this forum than I do from Dish Network.

    Install Questions

    They should have installed a Dish 1000 with a 942 and 322. That setup would meet your needs.

    why no ground?

    It's common practice to diplex TV 2 out back down the same line that the signal comes in on. How do you expect to get the TV 2 signal to TV 2? Run a direct wire from the 522 to TV 2? You could do that, but it's extra UNNECESSARY work. And it's not a good idea in a brand new house. If you were...

    vmc satellite agreement

    You're responsible for what you sign. PERIOD. Read it before you sign it. If you don't like what it says, don't sign it. PERIOD. I'll tell you what the attorney generals office is gonna say, just what i said above.

    522 Remote Codes

    You can do a code search on your remote to find the code. Here's how: Turn your TV on, press and hold the TV button on your remote until all the lights at the top flash, press the large red power button, press channel up until your TV turns off. If you go past the code on accident, just hit...

    wall fishing

    To clarify, I sell all of my installs and it's part of my sales pitch to include running all necessary lines. So I make plenty of money on a job because I'm getting paid for the sale AND the install. I don't let greed stop me from making a sale and making money that I otherwise would not have made.

    wall fishing

    Yes, if need be. I mean really, how hard is it to tie a phone wire along with your coax to a chain and do it all in one pull? It's still just one wall fish. In that case I use a wall plate that has a coax barrel and a phone jack all in one plate.

    wall fishing

    I installed a 2-story house on a slab Saturday which required 5 lines. 2 wires downstairs, 3 upstairs. Because the house was on a slab, i ran the 2 lines downstairs around (underneath the siding) and had to take them in thru the exterior walls. I wall fished all 3 lines upstairs, one of them was...

    Multi-unit dwellings???

    Well, yes. But the wording has to be correct. Check with Dish Network but I believe the correct wording would be an "access charge". In other words, she can't resell the Dish Network programming, but she can charge an "access charge".

    wall fishing

    It amazes me that an installer won't do a wall fish unless he gets paid for it. Sure, sometimes it is harder, but more often then not, I can run a wire thru an attic or crawl and wall fish it quicker than wrapping a wire around the outside of a house. Plus it looks better.

    Needing help with Dish Network problem

    In many condos and townhouses in my area, the wires will go throught the attic or the crawl (if there is one) of your individual condo. The installer should be able to feed the wires from the dish to the attic/crawl and tie into them there. THis is usually the case, but not always. If it was...

    Question about Dish installers

    My company runs all wires thru the attic or crawl (when available). Wall fishes and phone jacks are included with the install...Period. There's no way DNSC installers go to the length that we do to ensure a professional installation. And we use only subs. But they do it the right way or they are...

    Multi-unit dwellings???

    you would probably want to set her up as an mdu/bulk account. you would have to set up a mini head-end. This consists of a rack of receivers in one room (like an electrical room). There will be one receiver for each channel in the rack. No boxes in individual rooms, tenants would just change the...

    Just wanted to say thanks for a great website

    Been lurking here for a few months. I am a fairly new Dish Retailer. We do about 30-40 activations per month. I finally had to register so I could post and say GREAT JOB. I learn more here than I do anywhere else. Thanks
