    Just started installing.....anybody got any extra tools??

    Connectors..........I am not quite sure about that. I will ask specifically on Monday. It is so funny how these installer's barely know anything about the upcoming news such as MPEG-4, Voom, 411 receivers and such. I thought I was weird when I started talking about MPEG-4 and they all looked...

    Yes, goalie, I work for a subcontracter. :) I live in such a small town there is one pawn shop. Honestly, it is "barely" a pawn shop. Ebay looks like the best bet I guess. If you have any specific links to any tools that might make my job easier please post if you could. I guess I am asking for...

    Can I get both HD feeds of CBS?

    I live in the middle of nowhere and I already receive CBS east HD. MY account still has CBS west on it from my previous house. If I put up another dish at 148, will I be able to just call and have them turn it on so to speak? Thanks

    HBOHD----Minority Report

    I was watching off the 110 bird. My signal levels were in the usual 90-100 range. The show had noise around the white objects and some unusual artifacts. I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME MOVIE on HBOHD before, I KNOW it is sorta "grainy". This was completely different and strange. Next thing you know my...

    NEED Superbowl hook up help

    Hey, thanks for all the responses. I think I can get the dish set up in time but the switch probably not. The dealer that installed my 811 had never even seen one up until that day. He said he installed 2 6000's in the past. So, I doubt they will have the dp34 just layin around the shop. Another...
