    Guess I will see I am testing another one now until I get that one and so far its working fine. I just dont see how dish can use a line splitter but DTV cant. I know about the SWM but as we all know we cant get one.

    Upcoming slimline install

    It get really frustrating when we have to deal with customers like you. Everything should be free free free! As far as I'm concerned just get cable or have mastec come out and do the install. Now I do agree that the sales person should tell ALL customers the its only the standard install is free...

    What I do is go to a muffler shop and get their 2" pole it is thicker then fence post and its right around 15 bucks. Dig down about 2 feet, Make sure you flatten the end that goes in the ground so the wind wont turn the pole. Set the pole into the hole pour in the concrete and dry pack it so its...

    Can see current sats; can I pickup the new sats?

    I would say the installer just didnt want to get into burrying the line. ( Which I understand 150 feet is alot of line) Now if you were to burry it yourself or pay the installer then I dont see why it cant be done. If you have the tripple lnb going now with out any problems then the 5 lnb should...

    Few questions about the HR20

    phone lines

    The only company that I have heard of that requires a phone line is Mastec. I have never heard of anyone getting fired because they didnt hook one up they just get a charge back. If you work for a company that will fire you over it then I would be thinking about finding another company to work for.

    phone lines

    Lan lines are included in the basic installation if there is an existing jack within 15 feet of where the receiver sits. Now if you work for Mastec then thats a different story. As a sub we can charge for them. I do NOT push them on my customers but if they want one I have no problems running...
