    Keep an eye on your Dish bill.

    I didn't have the problems you gents had with installation fees but they upgraded my package without my permission.. I noticed the extra channels whilst watching the 622 and called my sat guy and we conference called and had my package moved back to the one I had.. I looked at my bill on...

    Parabolic reflector bent???

    Gentlemen I am receiving the Moline locals on the Super Dish (105?) and this was the only reason that I had it installed and this was contingent upon the installation of the roof mounted OTA antennas and that is done.. So am I getting this right, I am getting Moline locals on 105? I would...

    Parabolic reflector bent???

    I really don't know.. Other than it's there.. :confused: Seriously how can I find out what I am receiving on the 4 sats that I am picking up as 105 might not mean a hill of beans to me and you could be informing me of something I need to learn..

    Wind Problem with digital ota locals

    Well the 622 is intalled so I got a new mast, a piece of 1' galvanized water pipe and a cap for the top, and intalled the 3018 on top and the 4228 on the bottom and I "think" I solved the problem with wind changing the angle of the antennas and cauing dropouts.. Only time and weather will...

    Parabolic reflector bent???

    I talked with the installer whilst he installed a Dish 500 to receive sat 129 for the 622 and asked him about my low signal (50 to 60 %) on sat 105 and he agreed that the signal was to low and he tried to tweak.. He said after trying to get a stronger signal that he thought I had a bent dish...

    Well here is the bottom line folks.. I LOVE IT!!! The 622 is above and beyond my expectations and there will be a long friendship between it and the Panny 50" Plasma for the future.. Well at least until the next technological advance comes along.. ;) The installer arrived early on...

    Well to make a long story short I have the 622 installed with the Super Dish and Dish 500, both dishes fed to a DP44 Swith to a single coax going to a DP separator and finally to the 622s dual receivers.. :) :up Well to make a long story short we, my wife and I, haven't had enough time...

    Not a problem Dirtydan and I have been know to be an effective motivator/butt kicker indeed. LOL The LNBs on the roof are HDTV and DishPro so I have no idea if these are the right ones but I hope the installer and sat guy are talking.. The sat guy "should know" what I have, even in...

    Wind Problem with digital ota locals

    While reconnoitering the install, thanks Rick, I got to thinking about the preamp and I thought over the signal strength and I figured a preamp would be overkill in an 80% signal situation.. It was either the antenna or the tuner... In the surveying my install I also determined the...

    Well the way I was told that the two dishes will be combined to a switch and the signals from the birds will go to the 622 via one coax and a splitter will separate to TV1 and TV2.. I have a fresh single run of RG6 for the dishes and a fresh single run for the OTA so I have that base...

    I do believe that in our conversation on the install he mentioned a DP44 in which case it seems like this will be the Cat's Meow.. I told the Mrs. that we needed to get out of the VCR age and go the latest and greatest so I and she are looking forward to the DVR and all it's capabilities...

    Wind Problem with digital ota locals

    What if I put a good preamp on the 4228 and if so will it affect the 3018 with the antenna joiner in place?? As I said before I have an 80% to 90% signal on channel 58 when the wind isn't blowing.. :( Just a thought and I will wait until the vip622 install before the preamp or...

    Wind Problem with digital ota locals

    Got up on the roof and lowered the 4228 and 3018 to just above the tripod, with the 4228 at least a full wave length from the 3018, to alleviate the shake, rattle and roll and I got 80% to 90% signal with fewer dropouts on channel 58, but the limbs are a movin in the wind and the leaves are...

    Wind Problem with digital ota locals

    I have harvested my info for area code 61254-9592 from antennaweb.org for and installed a CM4228 tethered to a CM-058-3 tuned for channel 58 stacked on top of a CM3018 (3018 is working great). I started rotating the antenna using the 274° and ended up roatating the antenna back and forth a...

    How many runs of coax are to be ran to the 622 to facilitate the dual mode install?? I currently have a Sat Feed, OTA and whole house feed runs of coax running to the 4900 at the present and am thinking there needs to be a second Sat coax running to the rear of the 622.. I know the...

    The extra cash will be IL state tax.. When I talked to the my sat guy this morning he told me two months wait on the 622 due to production problems due to some chip problem, sooo it might be wise to get on the waiting list.. Two hours later he calls me back and says I'm the luckiest SOB...

    Folks I really think you are right and the 622 would fit into my plans as I would only have one dual receiver to work with and I could feed the whole house with the SD tuner (?).. I will make some notes and talk with my sat guy today and see what I can come up with and make an appointment for...
