is this a new install,or an upgrade with an existing receiver?

yip, drill your holes double nut around it and lock it in,if your concerned you can throw 1 or 2 self tappers in to boot

there you go, while your at it just weld the 2" even at the top and "git er done"

as an after thought, I got desperate awhile back and found that you can put a super(metal) on a 2 3/8 pole if you remove the stove bolts from the head, spread it onto pole then tap it down, replace with longer stove bolts, then assemble dish on pole, it wont work if the reflector is already...

all I have seen so far is the metal dishes, but when I get in a pinch I have been known to take the mast and cut it down to about a foot long or so then split it with a porta band and make up pole adapters for the larger poles,gazer you remeber the primestar to directtv conversions,they had the...

they actually have 2 grades of pipe, get the heaier grade but at that height I would use guy wire to support it,they can be pretty sensitive

super poles are 2 inch od.......muffler shops have it

I have put in quite a few super dishes in the Kansas area and I have found that if you do a roof mount make sure the installer puts in the extra support legs (makes it a tripod type setup like primestar used to use, without it you may have some service issues, I have seen more than one lose...

I haven't seen a problem with a 510 in quite awhile,the 510 and the 522 can both be great if you get a good one, I have found out though that on either system if you power down (power failure, etc.) you need to make sure that the receiver is at room temperature(60-80 degrees) before you power it...

hey guys I have had all kinds of "interesting" things happen to me with these 522's on new installation, "Sometimes" I have found if you unplug your system for a few hours then re-power it will force a software update and cure some of the bugs, no guarantee's but it has worked for me several...

on a personal preference I would stick to the 510, it may just be my bad luck but I have had trouble with 2 out of every 5 522's that I have installed, and really don't trust them

where are you? (state)

I think this a great idea and will support it with all I have got. I install dish and directv and plan to send this message out to every tech,dealer and even trainee installers I know. If this hasn't been posted on every forum in the satguys site it should be.

leave your sat. power on for at least 24 hours to get 100% of the program download. I don't know much about the Illinois area but all the superdishes I have installed in Kansas(about 90) are topping out at 52-56% according to dish this is as good as it gets till the new bird gows up. The FSS lnb...

check out this web site--www.dumpcable.com they ask for your zip code then give you a list of local dealers, one real good reason for using a local dealer right now is time frame, I am a installer myself, and from what I have been told by our dish support team they are already backlogged on...

maybe they wont be so bad after all, I am hoping to get a dish to play with awhile before going hard after it

witchita techs well I am sorry to say I am glad to here I am not the only one getting the run around, did they get the locals on as promised?

just curious, I am waiting for equipment and have been getting run around from dish(whodathought) :rolleyes: I have 100 plus new subscribers waiting for installs and we have to keep stalling them because no equipment, sure is a shame they cant get all the locals locked in on the dish500 and just...

how far (total length of coax from dish to each receiver) are your cable runs, 100 feet is pushing the limit of needing boosters, if I was you I think I would let it alone and let your installer handle it, by the way is that dish grounded by the barn? that high up you will definitaly want it...

spare rec. and tv works great when you are in a hurry, I am rigging up an enclosed trailer to work out of, need more room for the bigger equipment, but have been debating on rigging up a small generator and cords for headache jobs, hopefully it wont take long to get into a rythum and all will...

the "standard installation" for dish has always been 1 dish, maximum of 100 feet of rg6 coax, and all exterior wall punches per receiver, all wall fishes, attic crawls, extra dishes, backfeeds, antennae tie ins (or cable tv) pole mounts or any thing custom such as tri-pod or bucket mounts are...

hey guys I am waiting for equipment to show up in the witchita kansas area, at least to my retailers, needless to say I haven't got the great joy and thrill of setting one of the supers up yet, has anybody tried to use a digisat on the 105 yet? Just curious if they will lock on or if I should...

set up a 2 3/8 inch pole, keep it plumb both directions and give us the best south-southwest view of the sky that you possibly can and the installer should be able to handle it from there. Just try to remember it is winter time and the leaves will fill back in and cause problems down the road if...

standard installation most retailers wont provide the extra equipment such as poles,concrete or pay for the extra time to do the pole mount install, so we-the installers are forced to pass those additional costs to the customers.
