    I just heard from a friend, who is a landlord, that some guy just tried drilling into his concrete balcony to mount his dish. He didn't just drill through the concrete balcony of his condo, but he drilled straight through a tension cable!! :eek: When they say don't drill any holes in your...

    Who else goes to satelliteguys.com!!!!! SON OF A....

    WOW, this probably makes the 5th time I accidentally typed in satelliteguys.COM, instead of .US. Of course, satelliteguys.com is a completely different website that is in no way affiliated with satelliteguys. Anywho, this website has some LOUD stupid annoying techno song that plays almost...

    http://www.room362.com/archives/40-TechTV-back-from-the-dead.html There is news all over about this, do a google search if you want more information. I don't know if this has been said before. Basically G4's CEO Charles Hirschhorn has been "released". Which is good news. There is talk...

    Signal problems and such

    Well, have had Dish Network for maybe a month now, and i'm noticing some things... Probably a rant more than anything. I've got two closeted 322's all ran by UHF remotes. -I have noticed a couple times that I would loose the "signal", but get this, it was on only ONE tuner. One box looses...

    SuperDish installed (W/Pics, questions, ramelings)

    This is great! I love Dish Network, good bye cable! What to say....I'm speechless. Basically I had a superdish and 2 322's installed Saturday. The install went great and was quick. I already had the wires ran from outside to the closet. Now mind you the closet is obviously not finished, in...

    Receiver Dilemma!

    Well, my install is a week from today! I'm exited, and I am also scared. See, I have a structured wiring system. So all the coax is in a central location (see diagram below). And all those cables distribute to all the rooms... I went ahead and chose to get 2 322 receivers to serve 4 rooms. I...

    Getting DISH NETWORK!

    Yay, finally. Reason: Cable sucks. Actually we won't have cable resored for a long, long time (if ever?). Hurricane Dennis messed us up here on Pensacola Beach FL, we got power about a week ago, but of course no cable, and Mediacom has made absolutely NO attempt in restoring the lines, I have no...

    Okay, I am fed up with cable. I'm teetering on the edge like a suicidal maniac who forgot to take medication! I'm about to go from cable TV to dish and cable HSI to Hellsouth DShell (but still better than cable). Anywho, the walls are exposed and I have rewired, but need to know how to wire...
