Can someone who has experience with both of these cable-running tools give me a good pros vs. cons type of explanation as to the proper, effective use of them? I have to run some cable, not tons, but enough in places where I'm going to need one or the other, or both. Primarily vertical runs...

Im in the process of expanding my Dish Network system into other rooms in my home. I'm running all my own cables to those rooms. I could use some help as to running cables through existing walls, tools, techniques, etc. I already have the high quality RG-6 run from my satellite to my lone...

So, Who makes the OTA HD set top receiver? Does it downconvert to accomodate your non HD tv set? What method do you use to connect your receiver? Do you dump your stuff off onto DVD or something similar? A BIG draw with the DVR is the recording/time shifting capability... I do...

Have tweaked my tv as much as I can, by using my remote and a factory service repair manual. Both my contrast and brightness are set to nominal values using assorted tweaking DVDs (Avia, S&V, etc.) I understand the issues with the locals being awful. I see the trouble with other stations as...

My equipment list... I am watching Standard def TV fed to a Standard Def 4:3 set. Sony KV-32FS100 TV (basic non-hi def set, CRT type) Dish DVR 510 current firmware Dish 500 antennae (5 yrs old ?) , 2 individual LNBF's (NOT a DishPro system) High quality cabling all around, direct...

So, Are you saying there is nothing I can "troubleshoot", as in change out or adjust or replace or even looking at in my system? May sound incredulous, but I guess I find it hard to believe........

I'n not sure if this is the best place to post a question about the above subject, but I have been having issues with digital artifacts in my picture, and I need a good place to start troubleshooting. Basically, I know picture is an issue on some stations for various reasons, as posted...

Any significant differences between these 2 units? I don't need or want a 522, at least for now. This will be my 1st DVR from Dish, with several yrs. with just the basic receivers working well. Any pitfalls I need to be on the lookout for? Dish has this deal where you can give them 25 bucks...

I have a 4900, and a 300 for the extra bedroom, and both seem to be ok, as far as I can tell. I ocassionally lose my signal when I get a wicked rain storm (normal rain doesnt seem to bother it) I like the 4900 because of the dolby digital for PPV. It it possible for a receiver to be "too old"...

I've had my Dish for 4 yrs, and have always wondered this... How good is 'good' reception on a Dish? Isn't the signal either on or off? Is 105 on the strength meter for both sats going to look better on my TV than, say, 75 on the strength meter? Both my 110 and 119 sat hover around 100, yet...

Yes, I have an older Dish 500 with separate, dual LNBFs. My previous setup had only 2 receivers, with 2 sw21s to split the signal. Can I set it up this way, and then just change the switch when Im ready, and run the 3rd cable to the 3rd receiver, or is it more complicated than that...

I've moved to a new place, and am going to run my own cable to my receivers w/high quality RG6 quad, etc. Runs wont be too long (less than 100 ft. or so) Old Dish 500 w/dual (good shape!!) 4900 300 2 sw21s thinking about adding a third run for a third room/receiver... Can I run 3...
