Sorry if its a repost. But does anyone know if they are working on 99/103 slots for Ka/Ku tuning on a Birdog. Of course we still can peake these using 101 signals, but it would make it so much easier. Also, anyone have any great tuning tips for Ka/Ku second generation, thats not already on...

Heres what I'd do. Run 2 or 3 RG-6 runs to every outlet. Run Cat5 to every outlet as well. As far as speaker wiring its pretty simple. Run all the speaker wire from your speaker locations (Depending on if your doing 5.1 or 7.1) back to where your going to put your entertainment center. 16 guage...

Thanks for the help guys

Guys Can someone give direction on how to install flat cable through a sliding glass door frame? It states that the cable can be used through this type of door, but I dont know how you could do this. Ideas?

Sorry, one more thing. I cant believe your going to get anything but terrible service with a pole that high up with a Ka/Ku. I would make them come back out and bury the pole much lower. IMHO

Thats correct. You MUST bond to the same potential as the homes service. Therefore, he needs to run his #17 guage to the block or switch, then connect that to a suitable NEC ground source. Your installer is absolutely incorrect.

Great comparisons, and relatively easy to understand considering the subject matter. Thanks for the explanation VO1ONE!

What your describing is an Accutrac I believe. You can switch the meter to 22khz, which should allow you to see the 119. Otherwise, a Birdog meter will alert you when you align to a specific sat. Its virtually idiot proof. Hope it helps.

Speed comes with time. Your only 3 weeks in, dont worry about the speed. One thing to remeber is to keep yourself organized. Carry your tools and parts close to your jobsite, so you not going back and forth from your vehicle. I always used to carry a small parts container with everything I...

Ironwood is a Home Service Provider for DTV. Anytime you call them directly, you will have an HSP technician installing for you.

Looking to set up a relatives new home (still under construction) with with some phone/RG-6 runs. I do have some questions if someone could enlighten me. What building/NEC or construction codes or guidlines do I need to be aware of when running the wiring through the framing? Also, is there...

Hex fittings are not allowed by Directv. Your using a compression type fitting, you'll be fine.

It may be worth trying an auto detection. I know its already got the 72.5 in, but worth a shot.

SORRY, Your right I was thinking Directv. I only run in the DTV side, my head was there.

Normally, you lose 8db per 100ft of RG-6 cable. If you properly peak your dish, longer length wont be much of an issue. We've ran 140ft with no problems.

contact the supervisor on this, in my opinion. we sell these for well under that, they can bought for under 4 or 5 bucks a set. where do you live vinz?

Omaha is on 119, not 110. Des Moines was transferred to 119 as well.

Go to sadoun.com for coordinates. Should be a link to a calculator there.

Youve got EMI.

YES YES ABSOLUTELY IT CAN Depending on the severity of the "dings". If the skin is bent to far, it will throw off your signal. Remember, dishes work off of refraction from a skin. Your best bet is to check all the transponders that you should have in your area after install. Now if they truly...

Spot beams are relative to geographical locations. Man I must be bored.

Quick fix We do 100-130 jobs a day, so we've seen a few of these obivously. Heres the easiest workaround available. Call Vonage. Tell them your connecting a fax machine. They will adjust the baud rate and it should work with no problems. We've had several that we fixed this way. Easy as pie...

ME WANT BANANAS ME WANT BANANAS ME WANT BANANAS If you think a damn monkey could PROPERLY install a off air HD antenna on a high def DVR connected to rear projection with an DVI-HDMI conversion cable,then auto configure the 95 degree bird on a wire dish, in a 72.5 market, then I better start...

Also, check the polarity on the electrical outlet, and check the voltage from the outlet as well. You can buy a polarity tester from any hardware store.
