couple days ago at the indy office we got the very leary word that march 11th will be the date also there are some engineers roaming indy as i speak....
Here at the indy shop we were running out of 34switches because of all the migrations and the newer ul listed 34switch that does not need a ground block. We were out of 44 switches for the longest time
yea here in indy we are going through alot of upgrades and get the same problem with 129, 27 degrese here, so 61.5 is a frequent option, i favor a dish 500 with an i bracket, most of the time you can get 61.5 peaked in around 68.
the splitters are a good idea because no diseqc is needed to the dual only to the 44 but then again if your taking that much time to figure that out couldn't you just run two lines?
bah humbug before you try any of that.....try the attenuator it should be in the box.... little silver piece that screws on before your antenna does, sometimes houses have alot of astray frequencies that can mess with your remote....let me know if im right.
72-77 are to the left and alittle higher and you would need a 1000.4 dish. here in indy we dont have ea up yet, the only reason i would give 61.5 wing to a customer is because 129 is reletivly low (27 deg) they both carry Majority of the high def channels.
I would run one cable for each orbital that way if you decide to upgrade later on all you would have to do is put a switch up, just make sure its up to dns code with a proper ground.
call dish to see if the locals are up yet, and just confirm with them if you can get them on the 129 orbital roomer has it that they are going to mirror the locals on 61.5 to 129
I'm a installer at dish and i would say the reason he didn't do it is because he doesn't want a trouble call. We do get paid by the hour and they have recently dropped our workload so i can get a lot more done without having to worry about my next job. The installer probably didn't see 3 degrees...
