you probably just have a crappy install, you shouldn't be having an issue with rain fade at all, the problem isn't always with the signal either, could be loose fittings, rg59 bad cabling, etc

good for them! too bad they're not wearing the proper ppe, looks like a write up will be waiting for them! also is that an aluminum 40 ft ladder?

Hmm, I can almost guarantee you it's a bad box, you can hook up component (the red blue green) see if it makes a difference, but like I said, most likely a bad receiver. Was the first tech a subcontractor? There was a red flag when he tried to bs you, you should have kicked him out on the spot.

In Mexico they have red Dish network reflectors (standard color down there, I have yet to see a grey dish network reflector). Also they don't use the dpp twin lnb, they use a dp single...odd all together because I thought Dish Network was not allowed down there due to fcc or mexican fcc laws. I...

the tech should have put up the 1000 plus dish, i'm assuming you have the old school super dish, just unplug your reciever call dish and say your system isn't working. make sure they create a trouble call (not service call, big difference). a new tech should come out and put up a 1000 plus at no...

this should be merged to the installer zone, dish will soon ping accounts after 2 weeks so if you send status now but don't have anything connected, you will get dinged...also this will become grounds for termination, something they will take very seriously since they're looking for reasons to...

yep i made a mistake of installing a 381 once (out of pure ignorance) never again...

If they already did a drug test and are running a background, I'd say you have the job. Dish takes a while, I know they are lacking trainers right now (hence why they want to fly you to another location). I will say from what I've heard they are running a training class right now so they're...

I have dish down there...american dish...felt safer than a lot of cities I worked in here in the US peaking in dishes

ugh I had to deal with 622's...get this while subcontractors have 722ks and 100.4!s

You're wrong Jim, I too worked for a cable co. As I mentioned before, cable and sat are completely different systems, rg59 and rg6 make a huge difference in satellite, we don't use RF like cable. Sat uses low voltage to power the lnb, rg59 will burn out. I've been to tc's where the customer...

Yep, rule of thumb most subcontractors don't do good work (no matter who they work for, dish, directv, comcast etc). They're required to buy their own material and get paid per job so they will do the least amount of work as possible and use the least amount of material. I hate how dish uses...

dish actually charges a one time rate of $50 per mirror, so if you want 2 tv's mirrored it'd cost you $100. you can do it yourself but putting a 3 way splitter behind either one of the diplexers. make a jumper going from uhf out to input in for the splitter and run your lines

technically the customer HAS to move all their furniture beforehand, we're not furniture movers. most of the time i will move customer's furniture, especially if it's an old lady. However, if they seem like a (you know what) I'm not touching crap and rescheduling the job because 9 out of 10...

yep just get a tech to go out. you have have to cut the old fitting and put new ones on and barrel the line, you need to use a high frequency barrel otherwise you'll get problems again in the future

do an auto search.(you will need the tv turned on) 1-press the tv button (not the red one but the one on the top left of the remote next to the sat button) hold it down until you see it blink. 2-press the red power button once 3-keep pressing channel up (using the up arrow button), do this kind...

I think it's great GTV has flash, it would be the nail in their coffin if it didn't. I think dish is either a lilttle ahead of its time or has some REAL crap marketing/management (probably a combo of both, mostly being the latter), but the 922 is a huge flop and so will google tv for dish only...

you have dish latino

i downgraded to the 200 from the 250, I don't notice the difference at all (in tv veiwing), I only watched natgeo but they when downhill fast with the dog whisper and all that garbage. so you could save a lil $$ that way

try changing the remote address? press menu twice on remote, then hold down sat button until it blinks, press any number, press pound, keep pressing record until address changes

the dpp twin and the dp twin lnb are the exact same size, you just unscrew the two small screws, replace lnb, put screws back on, and you're good to go. as mentioned, you'll need to put a separator behind each dual tuner box as for the dual cable, since you will only need one cable, you can use...

you can double diplex, i would not mess with the internet though, it's on a 109 mzh fq and the diplexers aren't rated for that, you'll be fine with the basic catv though

well i got off the phone with a 4th csr and he told me he will credit me $17 for being overbilled...but i have a sinking feeling in my stomach i will never see that credit

i changed back in july 21st over a month ago. the best part is my dish bill is different every single month. i called 3 different csrs today and all three told me three different prices for next months bill. wtf!!!

i downgraded from the 250 tier to the 200 and told my monthly bill would be 54.99 plus taxes, when I checked my email yesterday, i noticed it was for 87.99. I called the csr and she told me don't worry the new bill is being generated and I will only be billed 54.99. However, they billed me 87.99...
