I have moved into a new house and will be using the "moving with DISH" process to have an antenna installed and connected. But until then, is it possible to receive DISH programming with my Hopper3 via internet (ethernet connection) instead of a dish antenna?

When using conduit for cable runs from the dish antenna, what end connectors do you use on the conduit? I will be using 1-inch non-metallic flexible conduit with twin RG-6 with ground.

A few months ago I upgraded from a 625 box to Hopper. The installer plugged the hopper into a "cheater" plug before plugging it into the power. I asked why he eliminated the electrical ground and he said he does that with all his Hopper installs now. He's had several of them fail right after...

I have two 625 dual tuner receivers and one LNBF quad. Receiver “A” is in building 1 and Receiver “B” in building 2. The dish with quad LNBF is attached to building 2. Two cables run to each receiver. Everything was working fine until recently. Here’s the problem: For the last couple of...

I’m thinking about putting a Dish 500 on a pole between my house and an outbuilding. The view window is about 8-feet wide and I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to locate the pole so that the dish can see the birds (119° and 110°).

I have a Dish Pro quad LNBF feeding two 625 dual receiver DVRs and the setup has served me well for about 7 years. There are 4 RG6 cables running from the quad LNBF to the 2 DVRs (2 to each). I need to upgrade the cables running to one of the DVRs – the stuff in place now is 20 years old...

OK, everone's favorite subject: Grounding:D My dish antenna and grounding block are mounted about 50 feet from the grounding electrode for my electrical service. Since this exceeds the 25-foot rule for the the ground wire run I added an electrode just below the dish and ran #10 copper from...

I tried to figure it out reading threads but couldn't get it. Is there a link or site that explains these basics? I'm guessing some LNB's have a switch built in? Is the external switch part of a multi-dish setup (to switch from one dish to another)?

There are a LOT of 625 receivers on eFee, uh I mean eBay being sold as new in the box, opened for inspection. I know that has to be a euphemism for something but do not know what. It just seems odd there are a lot of new open box receivers for sale, significantly below retail. Where are they...

I have a new 625 receiver and a new DP quad LNB I’m trying to install. When I run the switch test, the Sat input 1 input always fails. The screen shows Status: Reception Verified, and Switch: None. (Sat Input 2 finds the DP quad)I reversed the two cables on the receiver and re-ran the test with...
