I understand that I cannot use the DP stuff with DTV. But, can the DP34 switch be used with the DTV Para Todos dish (Sep. LNB's)? Or does the DP34 only work with DishPro dishes?

I didn't take the 4 out, sorry. I will give that a try-Thanks-

So use another powered multi switch instead of the DP34 for a total of 2 multi switches in the setup?

Well, we have Dish right now and I am very happy with it. We are running one 301 and one 522 so a total of three lines. Problem is, we don't get locals and I don't want to put up a Superdish (Apartment is allowing me to put my dish on the corner of the building on the other side). I decided...

Well, I am not gonna tell you that its impossible, but it can be tricky. If you have never done it before, give yourself a good afternoon. It is a single LNB, so it is easier, but you still have to make sure you are peaking it out as much as possible. I'll tell ya, the best way to do it, is...

Its not that bad, but when the s bar is included in the parts that he was supposed to use, then it is bad.

I honestly don't know who did the install, but it was in the Norfolk area so you shouldn't be in that region. They are going to look into it. But, I must say, that it was grounded, so credit has to be given there I guess...

I went on a service call today on a voom. It reminded me of those pictures that has like 50 different things wrong with it and you have to find them. Here is what I found wrong with the person who did the install. 1. Signal strength 52% 2. OTA antenna was mounted on the same mast as the...

sorry, just found the post on it...Didn't feel like deleting my whole post though :)

I don't know if anyone has actually seen the new software yet, but today I did. If this has been posted, then sorry, but if it hasn't, I will tell you about it. It came loaded on the unit I installed today. First off, when you turn on the unit, a splash screen comes up that says VOOM and at...

I just subscribed to Sirius today and the guy helping me out was telling me about the lineup. He said the exact same thing as you Scott about the Beatles channel! Still playing around with the setup and comparing to my XM. Time to go have some fun!

Drako, where in VA are you. I live in Newport News.

Well, I recieved the Arkon SR85 in the mail yesterday, got it installed and have to say initial thoughts on it are good to excellent. I'll first start off with a description of what is included in the package. There is a gooseneck, an adapter to put into your cigarette lighter with a 12v plug...

Here is what I have noticed with the two. The stealth is really picky, must be aimed. It has to have the amplifier installed inside the antenna by the tech. It doesn't come with it, it is an extra part that they physically install inside the antenna. Then the power supply should be put...

Jimmy, your in Newport News? Thats where I live, I do installs in the Hampton Roads area. Lemme know if you ever need some free help, beats paying for it! Poopsie

That it really frustrating. I wish installers had the common sense to AT LEAST call the day of, if not a day or two earlier, and tell the customer that they won't be out that day due to whatever. Stick it out, it is worth it. I install Directv and VOOM, and when I do install DTV it just seems...

Wow, what a beauty...Class act installer :)

I just installed one at 58 miles away, tree's all over. I told the customer that I would bet money that they wouldn't get many, if any locals. That was fine with them, did the install, and got ALL of the locals. Learn something new everyday I guess :)

I don't have a VOOM License, even though i have done the training. Does this mean that I do below average installs?? You keep telling people this and I take offense to it. Too bad we can't go head to head on an install, then we would see how much carrying a VOOM CERTIFICATE means... :)

Yep, when an installer has all of those, it means he will not EVER make a mistake. Having those means he will do everything perfect, he's human, but as long as he has all of those, he will not make any mistakes at all...

I just put in a winegaurd today at 45 miles. At first, we didn't get anything. I was doing a 3 room so we were using a multi switch. I unplugged everything and just used the antenna cable straight to the box. Worked great, all but one channel. Seems that diplexers and Multi switches were...

The report back is for activation. When we activate a box, we go to the reportback screen and the counter starts going from 1 till about 7 or so. What is happening is the hits are coming in from VOOM. When it counts up while we are on the phone, the CSR knows that he is hitting the right box...

Of the ones I have put in, VOOM won't budge until it is put in. I have called several times notifying them that I am doing a job far from the towers and they have told me and the customer they won't do anything till its installed. You can try, but don't expect too much. Also, I did one where...

I have run 175 with an inline amp, and there was noticable degradation of the 119 signal on DTV. As for VOOM, don't know, haven't tried it that long but the LNB is the same as DTV so it shouldn't be too far off. I know one guy who put in a DTV single dish with 220' of RG6, signal was 70% in...

You can do a bucket mount, but be sure that the installer will do it. Some installing companies won't do them cause of the service calls they produce. Another option is a tripod mount, which might cost you some coin, or this, again costs quite a bit, but cool as hell... :)...
