I'll swap the switch out the next time i'm out there (tomorrow I think). Any other ideas?

We have a customer that is having issues with her Glorystar system. Dish is peaked, signal and quality are good (one LNB is dead and being replaced shortly, more in a minute). She called us and said she had audio but the video wasn't showing up. On arrival, the AMC4 channels had perfect audio...

Dumb Question... If it was a slimline 3 w/swm (one line to receiver, splitters used to get to multiple tvs) you should not need the BBC. If it was a regular slimline 3 (multiple lines to dvr's, one to regular, all lines from a switch or the dish itself) then you do need the BBC. You said...

If I am not mistaken... You are going to run into a problem. The receivers you have are not Dish Pro compatable. That means you have 3 options. (1) Swap your LNB for a Dish Pro LNB (Dish 500?), add a DP34 switch, and add 3 new receivers. Good news is that you only need 2 lines from the...

There is also Glorystar. They are free to air. Equipment is $199.00 plus installation, programing is no charge. They have 40 Channels weather it's quality "Christian" programming depends on biblical knowledge.

Reply for consistancy... I already answered him over at Anandtech but I'll post it here as well in case someone needs it:D Edit: Disregard all of the below, I misunderstood what you were trying to do, what you want to do is a piece of cake. Pickup another TV2 remote off ebay, Go to the...

If you are... In NYC as it appears, you should have a single LNB dish outside (1 "eye"). You should be running high 80's, Low 90's if it is pointed correctly (you may actually end up high 90's depending on). That being said, the TWC cable is not likely your problem (at least the cable...

Check... The output of the receiver and make sure it is outputing voltage when it's checking transponders. My guess would be input 2 isn't outputting 18v, just 13v based on you not getting anything on the 110. If that is the case, time for a new receiver. If it is putting out 18v (as well as...

If... It is just 2 receivers, you should be able to run both directly off of the dish, Based on the statement that you are not getting Sat B/C I assume that you have a PhaseIII which would mean you want to run a line straight from the second receiver to the LNB (there will be 4 outputs, doesn't...

Ok... I'm a little confused:D Unless you need more than 8 outputs (since your adding the DVR) you would just swap the 68 in place of the old MS, The other non HD/MPEG4 will see the 5-LNB as a PhaseIII. Now if you need more than the 8 outputs, run 4 lines from the 68 into the old MS and you...

And... The answer would be a set of diplexors, run a new line from the livingroom to the bedroom or to run a 3rd line from the dish to the receiver, either way you will want to run a second line from the dish to the living room. So basically you would have 1 line straight from the dish to...

Whichever One has the best signal:D Seriously:D WTT

Make sure... You set the MTU to manual rather than auto. If you don't it will stop working on occasion:( Other than that I have about 100 of the WRT54G's out there with no problems:D WTT

Well... You can get some info from here (although it is pretty biased both ways:D ) Personal opinion is if you want decent internet at a decent price and you can get a good install WB is the way to go. If you are looking for a business class system, go Hughesnet:D But I am sure there will...

Yup... OPI is the cheapest accurate way ($80 if I remember right), Birdog + Opi = easiest and best but expensive ($80 + $400, Birdog to peak out signal, OPI if necessary to peak cross-pol). To use the opi, you would set up the system normally with the OPI in the receive line, hook up the...

This is fun:D I'll give you the half the country thing:( WB1 should be up soon:D It is true that the Birdog does not show cross-pol but if you peak it out and set the skew (I actually have a cheat sheet that gives me skew, elevation, etc for all the sats we point at throughout the zip...

Been a while since I checked on beams shut down, still not half the country but 6 is more than the 2 I had heard last. Your point:D Dway doesn't inspect jobs, half the jobs I have done service calls on for other installers were not grounded, dishes were not solidly mounted, sloppy cable...

On the pole issue, It is simple, If I can get it from the house I will unless the customer wants a pole or needs it (trees or something else), The only time a customer needs a pole and it can be that close in general is if the house is entirely built using materials I can't mount to (Metal...

Sorry, been a while since I could get on:D Anyway, I always note the WO and have the customer sign off on it, Haven't had a problem yet (Famous last words;) )

Seriously, if he actually is willing to work with you, I would have no problem mounting the dish, pointing at what I could and then you can drop the trees as necessary, then or later:D But then again, I'm a nice guy:D WTT Sidenote: You would be signing off on it though:D

And In Reply... Read it carefully, $125 including 25ft of "Soft Ground Trenching", In this area you are lucky if it isn't solid rock and if it is within 25ft of the house I'll be happy to drop the price for ya, less work for me, but out of 100+ Dway/Hughes Poles I have done about 5 could get...

Amazing... We are installers in the Upstate NY area. #1 - DTV (PIII) / Dish (500) Pole is $75 - $125 depending on the amount of work #2 - DTV (5 Lnb) / Dish (Superdish) is $100 - $150 depending on the amount of work #3 - Wildblue / Hughesnet Standard Dishes is $175 - $200 depending on the...

Yes... Its as simple as plugging both in, One will read 101, the other will read the 119:D Good Luck, WTT

Not a problem... Go with Solid Copper RG6 Quad just to be safe but you would be fine with any standard RG6 cable, our company has done at least 10 that I can think of that are 250 - 350 feet from the house:D The inline amps aren't really needed but you can try them, pretty sure the directions...

Yup Sat C (110) gets combined with the 18v side of sat B (119) before the 5x8 using the combiner. WTT
