    HR22 not broadcasting RSN, but D12 is?!

    He lives 25 miles away from me and works at odd hours, so that is not an easy thing to accomplish. I sent out a few emails, so hopefully someone somewhere has seen the same thing before.

    HR22 not broadcasting RSN, but D12 is?!

    I did that...but why would this have happened on two different HR22's? And why would all other oprogramming work just fine? The channel is working because I hear the music and see the backdrop, it just doesnt come on when the game is being played like it's supposed to. The other problem...

    HR22 not broadcasting RSN, but D12 is?!

    Here is the issue--customer has an HR22 and a D12. D12 he can watch baseball games on regional sports networks, but on the HR22 it just displays the DTV logo and plays music even while he watches the game on his D12! Things I have tried: Replace HR22 Replace LNB Connect phone line The...

    Great Customer Retention Specialist, but only a 622 rcvr

    Hi Claude I have a 622 because I have a few left in stock and wanted to burn tehm up..and it works just fine. Too many people make big deals about a bad reciever when the fact is..anything electronic can fail

    Whats the point of 3Ghz groundblocks/ wall plates if not using 3 gig coax?

    I really hated the Aspen I used it. the outer coating seemd to slip back and make it a real pain for getting fittings on well when it was cold out(Green Bay winters) Right now we use skywalker. I can definitely tell the cable is not as high quality as what I used as a sub for Charter cable...

    Whats the point of 3Ghz groundblocks/ wall plates if not using 3 gig coax?

    Well, the whole 3ghz cable thing merely means that it was swep tested to that requirement. This should not mean that older, lower tested cable cannot also meet this requirement, it just wasn't tested for that as it was not a necessity at the time. Ive seen a lot more problems from older...

    Furious with dish, forced to disconnect

    zandarkoad and I both do dnsc fullfillment. While we both realize that apartment installs do not meet Dish standards, we also have been flat out told to get it done regardless. They tell us to have them sign off there is no place to ground, use of flat cable on superdish applications, bucket...

    Worst. Customer. Ever.

    Ive been bit by a rottwieler, did the install, then forced to listen to the owner bitch about racism because he thought I was hispanic and could relate. All with blood running down my leg. I then went to the hospital and was lucky I did not need rabies shots. A friend of mine(23 years old...

    Any New Info on SBC Dish?

    you can now substitute the 625 for 522 on sbc accounts. Just did one saturday. We no longer are getting 522 for dnsc work.

    Problem moving receiver to a different room

    make sure the connectors are all 3ghz..generally you can tell if they have a blue plastic insert as opposed to clear/white which are not rated high enough for a superdish.

    Is This Lnb Heat Sensitive Or Bad

    what signal levels are you getting at the problem times and also when it is working fine? It could be the reciever, I had a similar issue a few weeks back where the signal would jump between 0 and 100 at different times of the day. It was on an older reciever as well, something like a 3000 im...

    Voom to D* to E* II

    the 942/625 setup will save you $5/month because its 2 recievers not 3(as long as you connect to phone lines) tv2 on coax isnt usually a big deal as the tv2 is normally a lessor quality tv in a bedroom and you cant tell much(if any) of a difference. The 942 is definitely superior to the 811...

    new cust deal - very subtle trick - NO 4 TVs but 4 tuners!

    if you think everyone returns equipment you are sadly mistaken. I did contracting for a cable company. I had a list of over 8,000 digital boxes To try retrieving from customers in a 50,000 strong city. They were all in collections for failure to return well before they got to my desk. You...

    Starting a subcontractor business?

    you can get dnsc fullfillment work as a subcontractor. I will tell you it doesn't pay all too well. $75 for a service call and you are responsible for it for a year. Just today I had to go back on one who has been a customer for 7 years because her 3000 finally fried. And I got the joy...

    Does dish charge more if I dont have a phoneline?

    (3)311's will definitely be an easier, cleaner looking install especially if youre prewired. If you already have cable outlets that can be used, make sure your dnsc installer changes the old barrel connectors in the wallplate to 3ghz I do a lot of SC/TC's on other techs and must say that is a...

    Does dish charge more if I dont have a phoneline?

    they probably will not unless you have the workorder changed days in advance. If you call the day of install you're probably out of luck.

    Does dish charge more if I dont have a phoneline?

    If you are getting a dual tuner such as a 322 they will charge you an access fee of $5 for not having it connected to the phone line. Basically it can work a couple different ways..heres my example for a 2 tv setup: 322 plugged into phone line= programming cost only 322 w/o phone...

    Help Installing 61.5 Dish

    a dish300/500 legacy or DP like you have will all work on 61.5 If you have a DP quad lnb you do not need a switch at all--Id recomend this; the simpler the better You can also use a DP 34 to get your 4 outputs needed, but thats not going to be much cheaper than getting a quad lnb and it is...

    Where should I order dish? Dishs site says I cant get installation for 2 weeks..

    I would never say all are bad, because I do dnsc fullfillment myself :) I would say that *most* are average at best. Dish is always afraid of not having enough techs, so they end up keeping subs there with 20% QC ratings, 65% eff ratings etc. And the guys in the actual dish vans get paid...

    Very seriously about becoming a retailer...

    The problem Im running into is that they want a storefront to even consider you as a retailer, and I dont want to lease a store for a "consideration" That is exactly what I'd like to start doing tho, take it slow, see how it goes. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a good...
