    The Satellite War is ON!

    I'd like to know how DirecTV plans to fit HD, INTL, LOCALS, and AMERICAN programming basically all on the 101 satellite. I understand they have slots at 110 and 119 but they are like maybe 5 transponders at most. Is that 75 degree satellite supposed to carry all these new channels. Then what...

    Complicated and impossible installs of 322/522's

    You are 100% correct on the SBC issue; they simply won't accept a 510 receiver. I don't know why, but that needs to be fixed. If they won't change the work order on other situations, mention business rule paragraph 24. That states you can change the receivers.

    Complicated and impossible installs of 322/522's

    My friend, you are so short sighted on the big issue here...While you argue that installers should be getting paid for what they work, I don't think you understand that when the DPP diplexors does come out you'll be still getting paid that same amount and now 50% of your work has been...

    Complicated and impossible installs of 322/522's

    If your 2nd tv is looking fuzzy most likely you hooked up your diplexors wrong. Make sure the 'in/out' ports on the diplexors always face each other...always, check that first, 90% of the time thats where installers get messed up. Behind your receiver, output 2 goes to the antenna side of...

    Complicated and impossible installs of 322/522's

    If you think the 322's are a stupid idea then obviosly you do not look at the BIG picture. Echostar and Directv Spend 60% of their cashflow on programming, 20% on salaries, 10% on other stuff, and then only 10% on service and installation. Simply put they don't care if an installer has to...

    811 Lost Wing Satellite

    Elevation and Azmuith are the same for the 300 and 500;but as I said it is dependent on the pole being level

    811 Lost Wing Satellite

    It's always good to plumb/level the pole before a dish is put on it but in the case of using the 148/61.5 satellite locations it is NOT necessary . Leveling the dish is necessary on the 119/110 slots becasue it is receiveing a signal from two different satellites thus the angles are more...

    811 Lost Wing Satellite

    I'm a technician from the DNS LLC and I came across a similar trouble call on Tuesday. Are you the same person who has the 322 hooked up to your computer and the high speed interent cables run separatly from the dish cables? How is everything working now at 61.5?

    Diplexers - opinions?

    the diplexors you meantioned are fine unless you have cable interent. cable internet sometimes uploads frequencies around 0-40 mhz, depending on the MSO.

    CBS east or west coast feed...or both?

    as of now, Dish Network does not have a switch that can see the four satellites, 61.5, 110, 119, 148. They do have swtches that can see three. If you want to get 61.5 east CBS and 148 west CBS then you would have to give up the 110/119 satellite. DPP 44 is not out yet (switch able to...

    Feel like Dish has abandoned their current customers

    "For every missed appointment they should have to pay the customer $25 or a free month of service or something." here here, and i say for every time the installer shows up and the customer isnt home we charge the customer $25 also.
