My market as well as a very few others have locals located on the Directv 72.5 degree bird. This market doesn't have the locals located on any of the satellites that the 5LNB dish looks at. In the very near future everything will be moved to those satellites but for now. We have to install two...

2" PVC has an outside diameter larger than 2", Its the inside diameter that is 2".

2" aluminum poles are hard to find, around here anyways. So here is what I did...... 6 Foot Schedule80 2" PVC pipe sunk 30 inches in the ground with concrete. 2" to 1.25 adapter on top with an added 1.25 inch coupler (Make sure you get the coupler flush with the adapter. The slimline backing...

If he knows what he is doing he can mount to a telephone pole, you can take the braces (long ones) and mount one underneath and above it. I've mounted ka/ku dishes on 4x4 using this method and I can assure you, its just as stable as a roof mount. Their are two types of braces for those dishes...

Box might have got fried. I seen that a lot. The D11 receivers are crap in my opinion. Thats the model it happened to most often. When the area had a bad lighting storm the next week the techs were constantly replacing them. I did notice that all the bad receivers were located at homes which the...

Ohh yeah, not sure if you have it on the HDMI input, if you do remove that and try component. I had some initial issues as an installer with it having a brain fart on HDMI, it just would not go past that screen and the resolution lights kept blinking. Removing the HDMI cable and connecting...

How long have you let it sit and idle like that? Those things are slow as hell neways. You could try hitting the reset button and as soon as you see hello your directv receiver is starting up, hit 0 2 4 6 8 on the remote. this should take you to a screen for a software download. This may or may...

You should be fine as long as you have other inputs other than coax. I remember installing hd equipment on a lot standard tvs. Even had a few customers run to the store and buy a modulator for tvs with only coax. Don't worry....

Bad News.....if you go and buy any of the new receivers off ebay your still going to be under contract under whats called a lease. Just as well have signed the contract because when you activate your obligated to keep that receiver turned on for a year or two. If you ever decide to turn it off...

Thanks I just posted a new thread in that forum but if anyone comes across this thread with helpful knowledge please post.....

How would I go about finding a retailer, my biggest problem is not owning a truck or van, I am hoping to change that soon but for now I would have to be issued a vehicle. I don't care about paying for the fuel. Let me know. Thanks....

Thanks for the post and I already ran across the site. I was hoping to find info on one of the local offices I could just walk in. I know with directv the installers had a better chance walking into an office and applying than submitting an online app

First go into the receiver settings and view the transponder strengh on the 101. With a prob like that its likely you will have signal on odds and no signal (0) on evens or vise versa. Meaning you will see something like 96, 0, 96, 0, 96, 0 so on and so forth. If you see this, trace the coaxial...

ohh and also being a former tech you can improvise by using hardware readily available at a local hardware store, the rounded head will not degrade signal. I should know I had to install a few like that, and actually the slimline I use for my home has lowes carriage bolts (with rounded heads)...

Just find a local office that does the installs. Mastec Advanced Technologies is the hsp for directv and being a former employee i'm sure they would give you the hardware if you walked into the office. Usually the supervisors are former techs and most of the offices have dumpsters full of the...

The cert for directv is SBCA. I installed the systems for almost two years up until a few months ago. If your retailer or boss has a legit work order from directv or the customer is already in the DTV's system then you won't have a problem activating. You do not need to be certified to install...

what is the model of your receiver?

I suppose RSP or DNSC are acronyms? regional service provider? dish network service center? Please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm guessing. Also, does anyone know if they allow the techs to drive the vans home?

A few months ago I made a stupid mistake and quit my job as a technician for DirecTV. I thought I had a home business brewed up but after a few months I'm realizing I'm not making the money that I was. Problem is I can't go back to the company because I just woke up one day with a bunch of...
