What you're describing is one of the perks of being a tech for an HSP. Whenever we go and remove an IRD from a customers house, unless we're swapping out for a refurbished unit, we take the IRD and the access card. Before we call DTV to deactivate the existing IRD, we unplug the SAT In line. So...

Yup, LNB was changed as well, and I've checked the ground block. My colleague thinks that maybe the IRD is sending too much voltage back through the multiswitch and frying it out.

This has stumped me and some of my other colleagues. I went on a service call to a house where the oweners said that the dish had been struck by lightning. To make a long story short, I practically did a new install. New dish, new dual coax from the dish, new multiswitch, and new cable from the...

Well, yes I am SBCA certified and I am a professional installer. My post was intended for do-it-yourselfers who do not have a signal meter. Besides, the 72.5 is very hard to find with a Dual Buddy, if you're willing to spend the $400 + on a Bird Dog go ahead. So your doubt as to my credentials...

Some of you may already be aware of this, but for those of you who need a second dish to get your local stations, here is a trick that we installers use. It works everytime. Here's what you do: Take a line going from a port on the 72.5 LNB and barrell connect it to a line that goes directly...

Here's what you do to break your contract. Call DTV and tell them that you have moved and that the location has no line of sight. They'll let you out of it.

Tanya is hot. I miss her too. The guy from funniest animals is kind of annoying though. I'm glad I don't see him.

I tested 32 transponders and all except for two are in the high 80s or low 90s. The two that aren't are in the 40s and 60s.

This is more of a question out of curiosity since it doesn't seem to affect anything. When I ran a system check the other day to test if my phone line was working on a receiver, one of the tests is an LNB output test. My receiver failed it. Like I said, I have no problems watching TV, but I was...

A local station manager has informed me, that because I am in an area where I would get clear reception with the aid of a rooftop antenna or such other over-the-air reception device, that I am not eligible for a waiver approval even though my landlord will not allow me to place one on the home...
