#3 might be the best idea, considering that #2 is already done. If they'd ship the stuff to me, I'd mount everything and just let him do the dish. I've got a clear view of the entire Southern sky from where it is mounted now, and from several other possible mounting spots as well. I guess...

At this rate, I'll probably just do without HD until I get some vacation time and works slows down a bit and someone can come out to do it. I don't have hours upon hours to argue with DirecTV over something that I really don't need anyway. (This wouldn't be so bad if HD was available OTA here...

I wish that were an option. I can't cost-justify spending all of that money on equipment to accomplish something like this. I can handle the possibility of not being able to aim the newer dishes and admitting defeat, but admitting defeat because my hands are tied behind my back? That just...

I actually asked DTV if they could just ship the equipment to my house (and I offered to pay the shipping costs too). The entire setup is done for SD, and has been working for years. I don't want the SWM equipment because that is entirely unnecessary for adding a standard HD receiver. I've...

kjlued: I know there's quite a bit involved in this install. I just use the term simple pretty loosely these days with some of the crap I've had to deal with in the past with my line of work. This seems to be what I'm seeing quite a bit of when researching this upgrade. Some people are...

I'll be dropping the 3x4 multiswitch for this install (my understanding has always been that you needed something with 4 satellite inputs for the newer HD-capable dishes and HD receivers. Am I wrong in thinking this?) I would like HD locals via satellite as well (which may require the SL5 from...

I completely understand your point about the hack jobs. My job involves just about every aspect of IT, and a good bit of time is spent on data and phone networks that were hack jobs that barely worked when they were put in, and then I have to figure out how they got it to work in the first...

I've got a Quick HD question for you guys that you can hopefully put some logic to. I just got off the phone with DirecTV and two separate CSRs that informed me that I could not get HD without having one of their techs come out to my home for a Professional Installation. I am eligible for a...
