    No Ground Wire On New Dish Installation

    IF your dish gets a direct hit, it will blow out the roof no matter if the cables run through it or not. Grounding a dish doesn't protect from lightning strikes it reduces the chance of the dish getting hit by lightning. By correctly grounding the system, ie utility ground within 15 ft of the...

    Interesting situation

    i don't see your point at all in this situation, most services similar to satellite offer reduced costs to new customers who agree to a lease, because of the guaranteed revenue stream, so why would they give the same deal to someone, lose money on the receiver and not have a guarantee on...

    Will different lnb increase signal strength?

    what are your readings on other transponders?

    Will different lnb increase signal strength?

    if you are only getting 40, one of several things are wrong, dish is pointed incorrectly (most likely) lnb is bad, cabling and accesories are bad, or receiver is bad. you should be able to maintain anywhere between 85-120 for signal, so try repointing first than try other alternatives

    522 freezing - CSR blames power strip??

    actually there is actually some truth behind the power strip, just not in most cases, the newer receivers sometimes act funky when there is no ground plug in the system, we had an account that everything had been replaced twice, tested the gentlemen's power strip( no coax suppressor, just elect)...

    Superdish 121 vs Dish 1000

    no they are not identical, the 1000 is just a little bit bigger than the 500 dish, the 121, needs to be that big due to the FSS signal(121), you probably had the 121 for local channels, which will be moved to the 110 location soon, at that time you will not need that location

    Superdish ETC questions

    yes you would need a separate dish or upgrade to the 1000, not sure when your market may move, but they are moving locals off of the 121 to the 110. so no your locals will still be there with the SD, but you would not need the 121 on that point, also a 625 isn't HD so why the need for the 61.5...
