    No longer supporting vacation homes?

    It sounds like the audit team caught up with the OP. I wonder if the receivers at the vacation home are connected to phone or internet. That would be a big red flag to dish.Anyway a single 211 can be called a tailgater and allowed.Many people use their "tailgater" at their vacation homes. Now...

    help with garage setup.

    Dont assume you have a bad lnb by doing a check switch. A newly installed system (even a used one) will need to be aligned. A cheap $20 signal meter is what you need.You will be able to verify power (the meter will buzz) and then align the dish. Only then if you cant get signal at the dish could...

    Hopper instal ?

    They already do with the adapter. It is not supported by dish so you will not get the installer to do it.

    Strange signal loss behavior?

    I have a couple questions.What kind of switch? A 722 doesn't need a switch unless you have more than 1 dish or more than 3 receivers.What kind of connectors did you put on the cable. The connectors better be compression type.

    Does this indicate the Dish commercial about the average Direct customer paying $100 a month is correct?

    Incomplete (?) Hopper install

    I was thinking earlier was this his 1st h/j install or his last? Then I read he has "only installed 10" That makes me think its closer to his last install.Leaving an install not working is not acceptable IMHO.Equipment failure is one thing but leaving something out?

    Line of sight issues

    whats the roof pitch on your house?Most dishes can be mounted on the back side and shoot over the house with no trouble.I do that frequently because of point of entry and grounding.

    My Dish 500 system problem

    you may have one tuner failing in the receiver. I have seen that before. You have to check the rest first.

    My Dish 500 system problem

    What are your signal strengths? Just saying good signal is not good enough to help.Rain fade is normally and alignment issue but it could be water getting into a cable connection. When you give us you signal levels make sure you give us the transponder and satellite it will vary.

    How is it determined which TV channels I receive?

    If DMAs are determined by ratings and you only get the station from 1 provider through your dish how can the ratings from that station change.The viewers have no choice.A better way would be to determine the transmission footprint of the station and call that the DMA.The people in the areas that...

    Satellite Meter for Roofers

    If your company is going to have one of the guys trained in satellite dish placement and alignment with a quality meter you might be ok. Some of the worst realignments I have run across is because the roofers or siders dont know what they are doing. A plumb mast seems to be the hardest thing for...

    211k with external hard drive

    The IOMEGA was one I was going to use for a different purpose. Before buying a western digital I thought I would just try it.Time will tell here in the next couple weeks I should be back to where it originally stopped. If it does Im going for a different hard drive.
