The reason would be to minimize the number of customer service complaints from people that don't have any effing clue of the difference between LAN and WAN. :shh "You told me this router can do 300Mbs, but speedtest is only showing me 5Mbs." "And what service do you have?" "I'm on DSL 5 miles...

Yup - you're squeaky clean now. Sucuri Security It's been a long time, Scott! :eeek

Bingo. Someone finally came up with the REAL reason to ground your gear. :) Noting back to someone that said the LNBF wasn't attached to anything - well, it IS. The feedhorn probe will pick up static and a discharge can fry the beast. ;) Making sure the dish and the LNBF (via coax shield)...

I guess I picked a good day to come back to the forum! :)

Try this thread, too. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/255478-Will-512-Work-With-Both-IR-and-UHF-Pro-Remotes-At-The-Same-Time/

Still no Denver HD (129 TP 4 spot) Update 03:00MDT Denver locals back online! :)

Sent via PM - and Hey There dfergie!

Thought you were younger than me. ;) FB is only scary if you surf naked and pet sharks - and I gotta tell ya, millions are that dumb. Doc and Joel are over there with me also beating sense into certain types of idiots. ;)

EDDIE! Dang man! You were early to the "good fight" - now that we're over on Facebook, I've missed your thoughts!

Hi guys! Been a LONG time. I saw a post from someone about timers not switching over from HD to SD. That's not quite right. Possibly depending on receiver model (622 here), and channel number (use the low ones), it WILL switch, but you might have to reboot the box. I am in the old habit...

There's 3 reasons for that: Bandwidth, bandwidth, and, um, oh yeah - bandwidth. If the providers didn't have to carry 714,629 copies of the SAME programming just to satisfy local pocketbooks (they've got to get their 3 minutes per hour of local ads in), we would have HD everything. :mad:

Hi guys! Been a long time since I've been around, but that's because my 622s run great - until now. One of them has decided to not display anything if I switch my monitor (a Dell LCD) from DVI (hooked to Dish HDMI out via an adapter) to VGA and back again. If I pull the DVI cable or...

I have a very good customer that is moving to Defiance, MO and I want him taken care of. He's got 2 DTV HD boxes and a bunch of surround sound hardware (but might need speakers in the new house). He won't be afraid to pay for quality work and he already knows about the $12/hour turkeys and...

Note that the DSL speed has NOTHING to do with whether you are running CAT5 or CAT6. There was a slight mis-statement a ways back about "CAT6 for internet". That should read "CAT6 for LOCAL network". CAT6 allows you to use Gigabit Ethernet without question. CAT5 will usually work, but is not...

Wow. First time back here in a few months and I happen to spot your post. YOU NEED TO CONTACT SOMEONE THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING ASAP!!! First, dang few electricians can even spell "satellite" let alone know how to wire for it. This is proven by him wasting your money on the "black box...

Hi guys! I've been both busy and laid up (broken wrist, and now a messed up foot). It slows me down, so less time to hit the forums. I can't even tag Dishretailer daily. I miss diving in around here, and really appreciate your thoughts on my postings! It's nice to know! One thing, if...

The SuperDish should work quite well when pointing the 110 LNB at 129. The outrigger LNB can be sold or shelved - it's quite useful.

Tell ya what, John, I'll build a DPP46 for you. ;) It's going to cost you $350 plus shipping. Ah heck - tell ya what, I'll throw in 2 extra output ports for free! :D

Good job SmityWhity! You've got it down pat! In short, set the skew per the book or receiver (making sure it's right - there's known errors in the D1000 book). Make sure you've got clear view for 5 degrees azimuth each side of "center" (it doesn't need that much, but compasses and eyeballs...

I wonder why you didn't just get your aiming numbers out of your receiver - it's right there on the same screen as the signal strength. Oh - and when eyeballing for LOS, remember that the dish has a 22 degree offset. That is, it appers to be looking much lower than it really is.

Pausing or holding an account will cause a local retailer to lose money, so do this through Dish directly, and make dang sure you get it IN WRITING (good luck!) that you can suspend your service without paying a cancellastion fee.

Just another thread that says: Get your Dish from a GOOD local guy!

ROFLMAO! Hopefully no one else will get that, or it'll have to be deleted. :D

I must STRIDENTLY disagree! While MANY (even most) installers can be pretty bad, I am NOT one of them. :cool:

Unh. Maybe, but it's just going to be a lot of trouble. LNBs and pans (D* or E*) just aren't that expensive most of the time. Maybe you can make a swap deal with someone. I know I wouldn't have a problem giving someone a D500 with a Twin in trade for a Phase III (maybe plus $10 for the trouble).
