    The Talking Head On The Front Page

    Two talking heads show up when I load the page -- and when they start one of them starts about a 1/2 second ahead of the other so it sounds like a really bad echo.

    Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network off Dish due to contract dispute

    This is great This is great -- Dish Network has now guaranteed themselves a mass exodus with this one. In a family household, it's often the woman who literally pays the bills -- and who certainly has a large bit of veto power over the monthly expenditures. With two of the most popular...

    Dish Support - Would You Be Happy?

    If so I'll insist that the retailer redo the entire thing since they're the ones who hacked into it to start with. It took me and another guy a good bit of time to get all the cabling done through the walls from attic to two floors down. A bit long but we don't do this every day (though...

    Dish Support - Would You Be Happy?

    Point is ... I am capable of doing all of this myself and have other technically inclined friends who are willing to help ... like with the coax run from the attic to two stories below. I could buy a new LNB from Scott here and put it up myself in a few minutes. But I shouldn't have to! I...

    Dish Support - Would You Be Happy?

    If I could leave I would - but signed the 18 mo. contract before installation. It's a question of how much do I feel like fighting to get out of it & how much do I feel like fighting possible charges to my CC even if they do let me out. I have thought about sending the ceo e-mail as...

    Dish Support - Would You Be Happy?

    Ah, Shaggy, I thought you might be a brother-in-arms given your used dish installation. The post is a little long because it details MULTIPLE missteps by Dish and one of its retailers. I wasn't happy with the length but also didn't want to just post a one liner complaining about Dish having...

    Dish Support - Would You Be Happy?

    I would like to relate my bad experience with Dish Network over the past 1-2 months. Some of you may just see this as a long, useless rant, and that is your opinion, but I am posting so that others might realize what they are getting into and be warned about the complete lack of customer...

    Vastly Different Signal Strength - Same Tuner

    Van, thanks for the input. I had cleared the matrix, btw. E* is sending a tech out on Tuesday to take a look. You're right -- the troubleshooting I had done so far did seem to point to the 322 receiver being bad. However, things look like they are getting worse -- I am now starting to...

    Vastly Different Signal Strength - Same Tuner

    To follow up -- another symptom I am noticing is that the output from the 322 where the blockiness / loss of signal is experienced changes. For the same channel, I'll have a crystal clear image in ROOM #1 while ROOM #2 is choppy / blocky / not there. A while later (30 min or so), roles are...

    Vastly Different Signal Strength - Same Tuner

    dfergie, yes I should have done a bit more troubleshooting before posting ... so I have done so now ... I traded the DPP separator on the suspect 322 installation with the one running to my 625. I am still seeing issues with the 322 and the 625 is not seeing problems (somewhat different...

    Vastly Different Signal Strength - Same Tuner

    I am seeing vastly different signal strengths between the two inputs on a 322 receiver. For instance, for the same satellite and transponder, input 2 may have a signal strength of 90 or greater, while input 1 barely keeps a lock with a signal strength hovering around 50. The video from...

    why no ground?

    Inside Ground? All of the grounding threads seem to differ on exactly how to ground a system on the outside of a house -- but the one thing I have not yet seen in the forums (and certainly not in the NEC) is anything concerning grounding a system to the inside of a dwelling. However, this...
