dishnet uses diseqc and stacking, because they developed their tech later,it's a bit more up-to-date. Backwards compatibility becomes an issue. I'm not sure which co has more "standard" bandwidth.

those friggin' legacy dishes are pains in the rump to install compared to the nice cute minidishes. I think a primestar dish can be used, because the international picks up horizontal polar...or is there an actual difference between analog/digita lnb's?

they had your word (and you could be anyone calling in) that it was legit. red cross had a special account already for shelter recievers.

if you buy all your own equipment inlcuding the dish and cables, and install it yourself, you can weasel your way out of the contract. If you go for "free" intall, that costs dtv about $300 or more, so duh, they're not going to give you all that stuff, only to have you change your mind the...

yep...standard install means it gets done the quickest way possible, within regs. I had at least one job take wayyy too long because the jerk wanted custom work and wouldn't pay. I KNOW in two years his trees will need a trim, so hahahahahahahah. The SMART installers will indeed walk away...

as the prev poster stated. NEVER use the adaptors on a dway dish...use a seperate DTV dish. not only is the DWAY h/v polar (not dtv compatible even for recieve) it doers have to send signal up to the sat...you could probably warm your hands by putting them a few meters in front of a dway...

the BRAND NEW r15 dvr does not have tivo. phone connections are required for tivo. for sports, they LIKE you to have a phone line, and if you have LOTS of boxes, may get suspicious if they don't call out, but you can beg your way out of that requirement. and yes, the best way to get...

try setting your tv to 480i mode. many hdtvs try to put the 480i signal from a non-hd source and display it in 480p format, thereby making it suck. also, don't be a dork to use the "zoom" or "stretch" feature on a widescreen TV...you want the grey bars...they are your firend. too many...

but beware! if your existing cable sucks, they might HAVE to run it around the outside or else custom-charge to fish it up through walls.

a "standard" install (the free kind) means the installer CAN run them where they want, and will usually want to do so as quickly and lazily as possible.. typically, this means doing exaclty what you described...running sat cables directly to a pre-existing distribution point. a good...

I will say...the triple dishes are slightly worse for signal because they compromise. if you REALLY want to minimize rain fade, get 3 large aftermarket dishes (at least 20 inches, if not 40, 2 with regular dtv lnb's and 1 with a sat C kit. Rig them all to a multiswitch, and individualy peak...

to test lines, use a voltmeter. the sat boxes send 18 or 13 volts (dc) out to the dish. the center is the + and the braid is the - start at the ground block, if no volts, move inside, if volts, move to the dish. or, use my handy dandy test... lick your thumb. bridge the metal of the...

won't work. you can make a Quad destacker from a dual, I'll reckon.

dtv knows about the problem...bet rca comes out with ANOTHER patch to their quilt

your model number is drd-435-rh and your reciever looks like a doorstop. software problems. rcas don't like to keep their guide info.

sunday? give the poor souls time to edit!!!!!

fact is,you can use prettymuch any meter opn any sat....now any DISH/SWITCH combo...not guaranteed.

the REAL question comes when there's ten layers of shingles, just how soft and gooey and rotten is the wood on the bottom?

screw it. if it's too solid to tell, it's too solid to give out within a half-year.

call dtv. they can help you fix it if it isn't entirely dead...if not. $15 TOTAL for the remote

Reote On The Net GO TO DIRECTV website roll over "customer care" go to "system manuals" to find the codes. :D :D
