Heh, I find it funny that you say satellite is inferior because the dish got over loaded with snow and fell down. Where was the dish mounted? On your roof or eave? Did it damage your house when the lag bolts ripped out? Or is it on a pole and you were too lazy to clear the snow off it? The...

This really depends on the installer you get. As far as I'm aware, comdeck is not an approved mount for dish network. So a technician that cares about their job will not install on it. You're best bet is to call a local dealer. Ofcourse I would personally prefer a secure mount rather than a...

It's the ambient light sensor that causes the issue. Shut it off on the TV and profit. Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

You can use a 5/8 bit and run 2 cables in 1 hole. Keeping your node inside out of the cold. Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

I know its been a whole year, but teaching the new techs about frequency deviation and lnb drift and found this thread again .. So, Mr satbuddy, the meter then handles this automatically? As in checking tuner 1 and tuner 2 while doing the limit scan, even though it only gives you one set of...

It actually depends on if the damage is before or after the node. Before, you have only 2 tuners per line, after the node, you have 3 tuners per host line. If tuner 3 is missing on 2 hoppers, I would point to one of your lines before the hopper being the issue. Either the Splice, connector at...

For gen 4, you can use wireless router + tablet or smart phone to point dish. Dapt is not required, unless you're too far from the wireless. Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Of corse you have to account for user error as I have seen quite a few technicians that I've wondered how they even got a job as simple as thîs one Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

When you all think of staples, you're prolly think of the crappy staples used on the old rg59 where the actual staple wrapped around the cable and not the rb2/rb4 staples which are unable to crush the cable like a nail clip or a screw clip that has been over tightened. Posted Using The New...

Replace the cable. Had a customer with same issue. Modem would lose lock every 12 hours and would not reconnect without power cycle. 3 techs before me relocated pole, replaced equipment, and cable from dish to groundblock. I arrived and power cycled modem. It locked on and I checked modem stats...

Ok. Understandable. However the RB2/RB4 staples are unable to crush the cable due to having a hard plastic form that secures the cables. Thanks for the replies though, definately answers my question.

So, the company I sub-contract for use to sell staple guns and stapels. Both the Arrow t59 and the RB2/RB4 staples. I'm now hearing that staples are no longer an approved cable attachment item, only nail clips and screw clips. Can anyone confirm this is an actual rule of Dish Network? There is...

You would return equipment to retailer. As you signed a contract with the retailer. As far as a charge for returned equipment, you'd need to check the contract signed.

Alternatively, you cut the connectors off both wires, strip the wires back and tie them together. Put black tape around it to keep them from pulling apart. This I feel will work better than barreling the connectors.

It is an option in the menu that shows the moca signal. Unfortunately I can't tell you exactly where the option is at in the menu off the top of my head.

Go to menu -> settings -> diagnostics -> point dish -> checkswitch. Then run the checkswitch test. Does it come back all green and say reception verified? Could be a bad or missing node. Could be a bad cable between dish and node or node and hopper. Could be a problem with the hopper itself...

The bottom line is that dish will not provide you with what you want. So move on.

'Unbridging' will not remove ondemand from the Joey's, will only remove apps and dlna. Only way I know of would be to disconnect hopper from the internet while you're working.

He should remove the switch and atleast install a new lnb.

Most flat screens have 4 screw holes on the back for mounting brackets. On smaller TV's, the 4 holes match up with the holes on the Joey's base plate and you can screw the base plate to the back of the TV. Larger TV's the holes are spaced further apart, on these I use one of the top corners of...

You physically went into the menu settings and set the guide list? Not just selected your list while in the guide? Cause the hopper at our office, when I set it to show list 1, I can open and close the guide 20 times and it stays on list 1.

For everyone complaining about your guide reverting to 'My Channels' try this. Menu - settings - guide settings? - favorites Put the dot next to the setting you want to be default, click save. Enjoy your preferred list automatically loaded every time. You can select my channels, HD channels...

Fee's for hopper and 3 Joey's. Hopper - free Joey. - $7 x 3 = $21 Dvr fee - $6 Whole home fee - $4 = $31 in fees For 722 and 3 612 722k - free 612 - $10 x 3 = $30 Dvr fee - $6 = $36 in fees

Just to show how this 'fear' of CSR's doing something wrong when its the only option that they can offer you as long as you don't downgrade your package to dish family which has no HD. Anyone have a hopper and 3 Joey's, or any setup of hopper/Joey's totaling 4 TV's, wanna do a little...

Its not an if. That is the only option they will offer you. I've had 3 customers this has been done by. It is because all boxes on hopper/Joey are HD. The only thing they can offer is HD at all 4 TV's with dvr. Ofcourse no one trusts someone who actually works with the system 6 days a week....
