That was really good and hopefully stations take note. Thanks for sharing Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Gotta love it when you try to help someone and they get offended

There would be two lines from the dish. Those two lines have to go somewhere to what is called a node. I am guessing that the 1:2 splitter you see is actually a tap. The tap says Host/Client on it. That host line would be going to your hopper and only your hopper. The client line can be...

You have a tv in your bathroom?? lol How far away is the other location? You'd either want a really long rca cable, or get a modulator and hook the joey's rca out to the modulator and run coax to the other location. both options will not give you hd though at the second location. As far as...

not good at all. ill make sure to keep an eye on mine and definitely not download any new firmware for now.

Good luck to you. Trust me, it's not a dream job. Not by far. But I won't bash it although there are a lot of negatives. There are positives to, such as a paycheck lol. Dish is a very micro managed company. I could go on and on. Best of luck though, it can be rewarding. But as someone...

Too bad actually. It's not battlefield, but I really enjoy the game. Specifically the multiplayer. Graphics are good and weapons customization is nice. Of course I'm not a fan of the MW or COD games so maybe that's why. I do think all the bad reviews were a bit unjustified though.

Yep. You're work sounds like custom work. Techs get the catch 22 there. They have time frames to maintain. They cannot charge anything for custom labor. You are getting a "free" install. So it's pretty hard to find the tech that is going to devote his whole day to custom labor. I always...

Redbox? Netflix? I'm confused. I think you meant Redbox? I'm interested in hearing how you like it though if you get it working. Thanks

I would think that if the tree was in the way it would go out all the time, not just when it's cloudy or raining. Unless the tree is blocking just enough that you are barely getting signal to begin with. Unless it's a massive tree you should be getting some stations fine and others would go...

Offer any one of the upper management pinheads a proposition. Start at any entry level position, tech/csr/etc. last 6 months. No special treatment, you're just a name and number. And live on that salary. If you happen to get fired along the way you don't go back to your manager job, your...

More than likely the super sat buddy

Good luck. 1000.2 dish pro plus will be hard to aim with any meter in that price range. At least to aim "quickly". You may find an older bird dog, but that's a stretch. If you did you'd want to be sure it was updated or that you had the cable to update it yourself. Super buddy is the way to...

Cant see diagram on phone :-(

Maybe obvious question... But they did run 3 lines from dish to dou node?

We had a batch of duo nodes that were mislabeled. Host was labeled client and client labeled host. Bad sticker. Check that. otherwise I'd have to guess there's something in the host line. Check it, check it again, make them run a new line even if it's temporary and strung across your house...

Contrary to popular thought, the grounding isn't for lightning. You take a direct hit and lightning goes wherever it wants. Does discharge static though. Not sure what NEC is for an antenna. I'd think 12 gauge would be fine considering you have no voltage running through the coax. 10...

They do have integrated legacy lnbfs, they just have the dish logo on them as opposed to dp or dpp

Legacy as in two single eyes? In which case you will need two 21 switches. Or legacy as in one solid lnbf with both eyes built in? In which case just run two lines, one for each sat input.

My feelings exactly. I don't expect tips, but they are very appreciated. But when I help move your furniture, hookup your vcr, dvd player, unpack and setup your new tv..... Happens all the time with no tip.

Try joining the installer zone part of the site. Maybe a mod can move this post there. You'll get advice from other installers. My answer of course would be a super sat buddy. Expensive, but worth every penny

Noticed there hasn't been a follow up to your post. Any luck yet? Hard wired to the internet is obviously the best way to go. Let us know if you got the issue resolved.

That would be my question too. How is your hopper connected to the internet? I know firefox works for dish online with my 922 and chrome does not. I should think ie would work too. Not sure though because I don't use IE.

Be a little bit more specific. If you're moving the dish then you should have cable running into a ground block along with a ground from the mast to the ground block and then from the ground block to the ground source. Typically rg6 with a 17 gauge attached to the mast both going to a ground...

Agreed, Sundays are just another install day, not big deal anymore. But as an installer, just like anyone else, I hate working holidays. Everyone spending time with their family watching you work. And everyone always says the same thing, "i can't believe you have to work on today?". Yet...
