Maybe i have a Solution, Maybe i don't. i dunno. If you can find out who came out (directTech,Northeast), you can get the main wharehouse for them and ask for the "HAT" explain your situation, he will call the "WTL". usually if a Tech Line of Sights a Job it goes back on the route a couple few...

LOL get'em Tiger, :p like i know exactly what a SAM 3042 is, lol i even googled it and came up with Guess What, LOL this thread. Kudos Benj for knowing all the multiswitches under the sun, really sorry you havn't seen this ever happen with bad coax,connectors or barrels though, keep pluggin...

before you start droppin lines, change the wall plate. look into the F-Connector on the coax, confirm there are no slivers of braid touching the stinger.check the F-Conn at the other end, or just change them both.if after visual confirmation and a new wall plate the problem stll persists. well...

Dish Has Tech Support? LOL j/k I'm with Charper, Bad or Going Bad LNB, in fact LOL like my 3rd service call ever was a woman, whom i thought was crazy when she said " on a beautiful day when the sun is shining it goes out, but it comes on when it's about to rain or when it gets cloudy" I...

D* and E* can never merge, they've tried it once, havn't they? and the FTC put the big hand down and said "NO WAY" for some odd reason LOL monopolies are illegal now.

I'm not sure if it's common knowledge, or if theres a huge misconception in regards to the slimline dish. My HSP is about to start using a new Ka/Ku dish. but it's not the slimline, i guess the Slim is gonna be a 3rd Gen Ka/Ku. The 2nd Gen dish is the same as the first gen, except theres no...

K, i put in a few andrews, in fact that's what we're using now. i have had 3 of them with Bad 99,101,103 LNBS, i'm sure you've already tried changing the LNB, but in case you haven't. give it a shot

Well, i would have to say, WOW 180.00 ???. I'll put Dishes on poles all day long, it's easier, the HSP i work for, tells us not to charge the cust, because putting it on a pole actually saves us time, Who Wants to climb up and down a ladder, it you can work right on the ground at waist level? My...

as a Tech, i hope they get rid of all the other dishes and just use this one as the answer to everything. allthough if that happens, LOL i can a decrease in pay, then it will be too easy.

How Many Times have you had a D* Tech come to your home to fix or check your system?

ok, this is what i was told about the new slim line. Supposedly, the new dish will sort of become D*'s everything dish, kinda like on dish does it all, we were told when the new dish comes out, if theres an LNB problem we're supposed totake the old dish down and put up a Slim, this leads me...

Multi-Switch.Had an RCA 3x4 do the same thing, sometimes it would SFSS, sometimes it worked, when i checked the Trans, the odds were lower than the evens, i changed the customers MS and the problem went away.If you don't have a multi-swith, probably the LNB

No Comment.

yes John those are the cable that came with the Dish, they fail all the time, LOL in fact i just changed a pair of jumpers on a Cal-Amp Dish today. I dunno why, but they're just crappy, mass produced has nothing on good old hand made and inspected when it comes to cables and cable ends. LOL

Sounds like a bad stretch of Coax, Check the end connections, see if there any barrels in the line and if there are take them apart and look for corrosion, what is happening isn't matter off transponders, but rather a Voltage thing, it's rather hard to explain.but start with the coax. Oh...

Let's Put a different spin on this, i guarantee, if an installer came to my house and prposed or even let me talk him into putting the DISH ON A TREE, i would really,really,REALLY doubt the sanity maybe even the intelligence of the installer. probably wouldn't trust him to do the install...

what Dish is it, i bet i have a tilt guide FOR THE DISH, let me know. i'll do some digging, unless someone has that link handy, LOL sorry can't remember the post it was in.

NorthEast (division of DirecTech) is hurting right now, your market Just Exploded !!!! we've been sending volunteers to Jersey,Boston,New York, and who knows how many other places on the east coast. those guys are making crazy oney right now. i've heard 3500.00 a week.anyways, i would call his...

a pre-wired home has a junction point where all the cable goes to, it is neccesary for a tech to run the wires from the dish to this point. when i do a pre-wired i usually leave the inbound cable at the DeMark alone just incase the customer gets cable internet later.

you can always call D* and make up some phony story about how complicated your house is and ask for a senior tech, if you're that concerned. Narf said it right though. everyone always talks more about the bad than the good, it's like the NEWS it's usually all bad with just a smidge of good here...

For once ASSUME won't make an A** out of U and ME. you're correct you will lose some, length of cable and whether or not there are some barrels in the line, play a big part in the sig too.

Stapled Coax ? :eek: :eek: :eek: Better get the Prot-Plan,thats gonna be a service call. Stapling Coax changes the impedence of the coax, doesn't make a difference for Analog Cable signal, but it can cause problem with Digi-Sat signals, hopefully he used curved made for coax staples. LOL...

Yes i'm talking about the Jumpers that go from the 119 LNB to the 101 LNB, they're junk, i noticed he didn't use rubber weather seals either, bad very bad.

if it was the multiswitch, all recs would have the same problem, have you forcefed the download? the only thing i can say is "call D*'

This HD-DVR thing is bad, but what affect do you thing the HD-DVR had on D*'s 2 million customer jump in 2 years? NADDA, i put in alot of Hi-Defs and DVR's but, i put in double the amount of Basic and Multi-Sats minor set back, long term affect ? ZILCH.
