Hi! The 211's do not come packaged with component cables. Most techs do carry their own from the warehouse or retailler. Sorry you got someone who didn't. The 211/411/622/etc does come with the built in tuner for accepting signal and decoding HD off-air locals. In my territory, HD...

The purpose of the lnb cover is to protect it from getting moisture inside. I have seen small cracks lead to clinging moisture on the inside of the cover...This has caused some signal loss issues and I have replaced the cracked cover when I run across them....I live in a place that gets a lot...

Hi! Do you have a local dish retailler/with their own installers? I frequently get returned receivers with useable pieces, and maybe for a small fee, they would keep their eyes open for a door for you. As far as pieces, you might want to look at auction sites and just find one that is...

Hi! I am assuming that the second dish is tied into the dpptwin input (normally on a d1000 for 129) or that you are using a switch to combine the satellites. When aiming at 61.5 seperate from another satellite (signle lnb) signal strength is generally 110-120. It is highly easy to locate...

Just some trouble shooting items. 1. Have you tried switching the port on your audio receiver (from TV to DVD, etc). To ensure that it's not a blown input on the surround equipment. 2. Have you tried using audio cables from the "monitor/audio out" from the back of your tv into the surround...

Smity....Good idea, but who would be the lucky homeowner that get's to be the guinea pig....LOL I am just being too critical of the applicants I am getting, I am sure. But I just don't want to hire people (independent contractors) and the stick them out there with my name attached to them if...

uh....On the check switch screen on the 811...It does not recognize the 129 satellite...I believe...So, don't be suprised if you don't see it on the matrix at the end of the test. I can't remember, as people are just ditching their 811's left and right with the 411/211 u/gs available with the...

Hi! There are "squishy" cables that are designed to allow passage through window and door openings, however, they do fail...With the normal wear and tear of opening and closing the door/window, the cable becomes crushed and will eventually fail. Whether it is a day/week/year from now...

Hi! Just another tip about the 622 delivery situation. Some wo's come with required equipment: 622 (shipped) and some come with 622 (delivered). The tech will bring the "delivered" 622s, but if it says "shipped" on the wo, the tech cannot give you one, even if they have one....It's silly...

Just an idea, but if you have another adult (spouse) in the same household, put a "new" account under their information. Just have them tell them that you moved out and they want their own account. I don't ever believe that anyone else has been denied an account from doing it this way...

Hi! Yes. You can request (almost) whatever equipment you would like for your account. There are some lease-upgrade fees for certain equipment or even purchase options. Call Dish Network directly, not a sales partner if you want the bottom line on allowed equipment and pricing...Less...

Hi! Sorry to hear that you had such a stressful day. I am an FSM for a sub. We DO[/B][/B] police our indep.contractors and do backcharge for jobs that are incorrectly mounted, grounded and cabled. Unfortunately, I have been with companies that are more concerned with the numbers game and...

Hi All! I am a sub in WI. Our wo's come from Dish and clearly state that the customer has prepaid for 2 hours labor, that over 2 hours is recommended rate of $59/hour, that materials are included....yadda. A few things. As a sub, I have a little leeway for charges. I NEVER cheat the...

Hi! Four things. 1. The length of the cable (in my experience) is just fine. Have you checked the connections, quality of cable, possible damage to cable? 2. Have you swapped the 811 location and tried it at one of the other spots that you know is working? Are the others working...

Hi All! Had to pop in and read about the certification...I recently was promoted to FSM of a four county area (eeeech....what a drag on a girl's time). I am now looking through resumes to replace some of the more lack-luster techs I inherited, and so many applicants are boasting about their...
