I suppose that I will need to get a W bracket as webbydude mentioned. The 1000.2 that we will use this weekend did not come with that bracket. Anyone know where I can get my hands on one of those? Webbydude, have you installed the 1000.2? If so, how did you or anyone else that has experience...

Does anyone have any tips on how to aim the 1000.2 dish? With the 1000 dish I used a DP LNB and peaked on 119 and then put the DPP LNB on. With the 1000.2 it does not seem possible to put a DP LNB on the bracket. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have an install with a 622 and a 322. There are two TV's connected to the TV 2 output on both receivers, giving a total of 6 TV's. Two of these TV's are out of the range for the TV 2 remote. I know I can use two splitters and put the antenna for the TV 2 in the same room as the TV. My...

I had a similar problem with a customer this week. The customer has a total of seven receivers. Yes, I know that six is the limit but that is a different topic. Anyway, five of the receivers are 501's and the other two are 622's. The customer would lose local channels during the hottest part of...

My supervisor asked me if I would attend one being held in Columbia, SC. I said I would go but do not want to. Not that I couldn't learn from the class, I just hate to take the time off. I had surgery two weeks ago and will not be able to work for at least another week. I do not want say I...

Can anyone tell me where I can find the azimuth and elevation for the Phase II and Phase III dishes?

Thanks for the help. This dish is installed at a major airport in this area and it would be nice to at least be able to pretend I know what I am talking about when I get out there. :)

I was certified about three years ago but I am not sure if that has expired. I have been installing satellites on a part time basis for ten years. The retailers I work for both sale Dish Network only so I have not really had a chance to experiment with D*. With Dish Net I usually aim the dish...

I have to run a trouble call tomorrow and have a couple of questions. The customer says that the dish got bumped and needs to be reaimed. According to the work order the dish is receiving signals from 101, 110 and 119. What type of dish is this customer most likely using? I have never aimed...

The customer is receiving locals from Augusta, Ga. I believe they are on transponder 20 but I could be wrong.

The signal strengths varied from the mid to low 40's. I did try replacing the seperator but did not see any improvement. The receiver was replaced due to a "fatal" error when trying to access the DVR menu. The only thing I have not tried is using a single tuner receiver. The customer says...

I am having problems with low signal strength on the 110 sat. I have replaced every piece of equipment at this customer's house with the exception of the dish. We are using a 625 and a DPP twin run through a seperator. The only transponders having this problem are 23, 25, 27 and 29 (I think)...

Sorry about that D*, I meant to say E*.

A few weeks ago I posted a question concerning the use of diplexers to combine TV 2 signal with a satellite signal. I finally had a chance to try it but did not get very good results. The TV 2 picture was a little fuzzy. Is there anything that can be done about this? I used the Holland...

The distribution example shows a splitter and gives a specific frequency range. Is there any specific type of dipexer that should be used to do this?

I have not seen the house yet. I have done several installs in this neighborhood and in all cases the homes were wired with RG6. I am not sure about the lengths of each of the cables. What is considered a safe distance? Did you use any amps on the installs you have done this way?

I will be installing a 622, 625 and a Dish 1000 this Friday. I want to use the prewired cable with a seperator and diplexer for the satellite cable and the TV2 output. I am wondering how often amplifiers are needed for this type of setup and what type of amps should be used if any. Thanks for...

I also had this problem at my house. It eventually shorted out two PS2's. Whenever I turned on the microwave, dishwasher or the freezer fan turned on both my receivers would show a black picture until the appliance finished doing its thing. I tried replacing the cable, switch and LNB's but none...

I would like to know what the tech finds when he/she comes out. If you could, let us know what the outcome to your situation is. Thnx!

The software was version 3.09 on both of the 510's. I am not sure what SW version is on the 522 though. I suppose it could be the cables that are connecting each of the 510's to the switch. Both of these cables were existing cables at the time of installation. I will post and let everyone...

I have a customer that is losing signal quality on satellite 110 even transponders only. The customer has one 522 and two 510's. They are all showing the same problem. Some of the even transponders on 110 have strength around 40 and are causing the system to lose picture but still have audio...

I was able to get out to the customers home today. I used a DP Twin to aim the dish and lowered my elevation to 34 degrees. All three signals came right in. It took less than 5 minutes to complete the process after spending a good hour trying to do it the other day. Thanks for all the input...

Thanks for all the input everyone. The DPP distrubution examples were especially helpful. Thnx again.

I guess what I am really trying to found out is if it is possible and how to do it.

I was reading the features that are avaliable on DPP dual tuner receivers and found something interesting. The manual says that it is possible to use one cable for both the dish and TV 2 through diplexers. It refered to this as "piggyback." This would be an ideal solution for homes that are...
