    Need Help - 4 LNB lines, 1 OTA, and 1 RR, but only 5 available runs.

    Okay, I have 5 runs of coax coming into my home and I do not have the capability to run another line. I currently have 4 LNB lines coming in from my two dishes (2nd dish is for 61.5) and the 5th is being used for my cable modem service. I have a nice OTA antenna that I want to run...

    Dish says I need a new dish to get my HD Locals? Something doesn't sound right!

    I currently have two 622 units and receive the full HD programming package. My neighbor got Direct TV the other day and told me he got his HD locals. I have been using an OTA antenna, so I haven't really followed up on the HD locals through Dish, but I started looking into it after hearing...

    Need help with Quadshield Coax

    I just moved into my new home and all of the coax runs are apparently quad shield RG6. I am trying to add an F-Connector to one of the cables and I can't figure out exactly how I need to strip the cable and add the connector. I did buy some RG6-QS connectors, so that piece should be ok. When...

    Will any regular Diplexer work?

    Can I used any standard diplexer to diplex my satellite feed and OTA feed going into my 622? I just moved into a new place and the installer gave me two diplexers to condense the "Sat2 In" and "TV2 Out" signals onto one cable. This works great, but I would like to get two additional diplexers...

    Will this Leviton 5x8 module work with Dish?

    I am building a new home and I will have a Leviton control panel. I am looking for video module to manage all of the incoming feeds and distribute them to my receivers throughout the home. I have a 622, 501, and one 301 receiver right now, and I will probably add a 211 after we get settled in...

    Please help me determine if I have an issue

    I am getting a new 622 on March 4th and I plan on having the installer take a look at a few things while he is here, but I wanted some opinions on whether or not my existing dish and signal strengths are functioning below expectations. I have been having a lot of issues with my existing voom...

    New 622 Arrived...can I install and Activate myself?

    My 622 arrived today. I already have dish 1000 and my house is already wired with dual coax to each room. So, I can easily route the TV2 signal from the 622 to my room upstairs through my home control center. Based on what I have read, it seems that I should be able to install the 622 with no...

    Installer coming today - 1000 or 61.5 dish?

    The installer is on his way and called me this morning. He said he could install the 1000 or add a second dish for the 61.5 signal. Said it was my choice. What should I do and what (if any) downfalls are there if choosing one over the other?

    Sensar II - Originally installed with Voom...now used with Dish 811?

    Ok...I tried out Voom for a few months while I was waiting on my Dish 811 to arrive. I ended up canceling Voom, but they let me keep the Voom dish and OTA antenna (Sensar II). So, I used the Sensar II OTA antenna provided by Voom for my 811. Things seemed to be fine but I lost my OTA signals...
