    Need equipment recommendations

    Thank you for your response. Sorry I took so long to reply. I was on a business trip. I will look for used equipment as it appears Dish and Direct won't provide equipment for personal installation. Thanks again.

    Low signal strength -- how can I get it higher

    I have a Superdish installed and use a DP301 receiver. In early 2004, local channels became available and installers setup the Superdish to receive the signal from the new satellite, 118 I believe. The installation could not get the three satellites and after about 4 service calls, they...
