I just wanted to post this to see if anyone has run across, or even heard of it in the past. This is truely the weirdest thing I have seen in a long time I went on a trouble call today and found that the problem with the system is sound loss and a very noticeable popping sound coming from TV2...

the way it is now is most likely with a pro plus twin so you would either have to get them the 1000.2 dish, or would need a 34 switch (which is used most often as not everyone has the new dish) and that would require running 2 lines to each of those 322's. Thats where the complication comes in...

dish doesn't allow us to charge for "custom wiring" any more, ie: wall fishing. Only things we can charge for now is wiring over 200 feet, trenching over 50 ft, and mirroring. There may be some others but I haven't run into them yet

none is expected, give what you think is appropriate if you feel the installer went above and beyond what he was sent to do. Most installers have set fees for most things, but if he gets there and you change your mind about things and he has to do more work than would be normally expected then...

Are you sure? I've always been told that dish leases some transponders from directv

That's kind of a stupid policy considering dish pays the initial equipment costs and if a person is only paying for a couple months of service a year they will quite possibly never recoup even half of it. I wonder if anyone has actually gotten in trouble for carrying their receivers with them to...

That's what I'm talkin about, I have watched boomerang for hours on end. Kids these days don't know what they're missing, cartoons these days can't stand up to mighty mouse, woody woodpecker, and yogi ;) As for the essentials pack, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) this is the package that...

Well I know for a fact that directv allows that, and I have asked many csr's and other techs who have told me that same thing goes for dish. You have a link to anything official?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't really think it makes a diff

so you're saying that the cables in the rooms are hooked to splitters at one central location? If so, it wouldn't be hard for the installer to barrel the sat feeds to those pre-existing cables. He would need to use a dp twin, dp dual, and a 34 switch in order to do that, but that would give you...

I was talking to the owner and another tech the other day...sounds to me like dpp33 is not too far in the future (thank God!) Jappleboy, there is one other way that I know to hook up that other receiver without having to run a second line to each receiver (if in fact you are using a dpp) and...

Never heard of this before, it'd be good to isolate the cause of it though. I never use the caller ID on my receivers, but I may start just to see if this happens

If you already have lines into the room you can use the same cables as long as it's rg-6 and not 59 wire...If you do not have cable to those rooms you will have to get them installed by wall fishing, drilling through the floor, drilling through the wall, or drilling through the ceiling. With all...

Ya but with my office I have to go to their house personally, regardless of where my route is. One time I drove 120 miles on sunday (my only day off) because a guy had unplugged everything and didn't know how to plug it back in right (of course when he called the office he only told them that it...

directv and dish both allow the receivers to be moved with the owner of the account. If you had two homes you could move the receivers back and forth between the two based on where you are living. According to the rules, all receivers have to be at one house, you cannot split up accounts. One...

I stopped doing that when stupid people started calling and getting me in trouble with my office because they didn't know how to work their vcr.... I ended up having to drive 120 miles one day for no pay when everything could have been handled over the phone with a call agent.

I can't tell a huge diff in picture quality, but I can tell you one thing, when dtv launches the new hd channels they will most definately charge an arm, leg, and your firstborn child. They will most likely have issues when the channels first come out, and there will be many hidden charges...

there are a million things that can cause that snowy picture. -If you used diaplexers to get to tv 2 make sure that those are hooked up correctly. -if you used an existing line, make sure there are no splitters or anything like that on it -if you ran a new line, or have a line that is...

I believe you can change format on tv2 with the bottom left hand button on the remote (format button) but I will have to check tomorow if I have one to install. Basically, if it transmits over the coax in one size then it will transmit the same way with svideo. I know it's possible, I've done it...

meaning....yes

The second output on a 622 is in standard def

depending on the channels that you are receiving it is either the receiver not being active, receiver needing to be rehit, or dish needs to be realigned....but as a tech for dish...account sharing is not allowed lol

All installers are required to hold a 90 day warranty on all their work, but changing out all the fittings is above and beyond. Plus, with the stress of the job, many installers are very short with customers, it's good to see people who take pride in their job like that. Though I also like bad...

Ah, I guess that's why I get so many requests to set up dishes under the table with dish, and didn't ever get that request with directv. How do they send different signals if it's from the same satellites as directv? Is one cheaper to transmit or something?

I have never used a dish 1000. The 129 satellite is way too weak for me when setting up 2 dishes would all but eliminate reception loss. Just use the 61.5 satellite for your High Def
