    Possible major signal loss.

    Rg6 You will need RG6, if You don't have a problem now, You will sooner or later, You need as much signal/voltage as You can get. By the way, did I mention You need RG6? Let Me repeat USE RG6, Use of RG59 is NOT covered under service agreement & DBS companies will not honor any service...

    Any advise for a new installer?

    Installing My advice, (for what it's worth), keep track of Your miles driving, (taxes when You get the 1099), try to find a great deal on cable, (you will use a lot), and most important, keep track of Your jobs and the pay for each one, (getting shorted on pay is not uncommon). I found it...

    Dish Retailers.........Help!

    Installations I can help as far as what one of the retailers pays here, We get $60 for the first box, $20 each after that for standard installs. If We give the sales lead, We get an extra $50. Super Dish add's $85 & I don't care if I do them or not because of pole mounts & concrete. Not many...

    3 Room Into 5 Room Setup?

    Going from 3 to 4 is no big deal, (assuming you have a quad feed). adding the fifth ird is where you will run into money, you will need a multi switch for that fifth receiver, doubt if Dish will give it to you for free. To keep Your expence down i would suggest four receivers, if that it...

    61.5 + 110 and 119

    Your DTV dish will work for 61.5, connect the sw21 inputs to both dishes, point the DTV dish at 61.5 & run check switch. On My 811, not only did it identify the Dish Pro feed, it also found the sw21. Works great for CBS HD & Dish HD promo, (thats all I can get on 61.5).

    Sold all my Dish Stock

    Funny thing about Dish, the only people I see happy with it are the ones getting it for free, alot of Subscribers I see are going to DTV, when, (& IF) Dish goes to MPEG4, I expect more people to go to DTV unless Dish does something to retain Sub's, they are going to be in trouble soon, We are...

    Early cancellation -- any pitfalls/hidden charges?

    Read the small print!!!!! There will be a early termination fee, it is in the paperwork that YOU signed when You had the system installed, TRUST ME! If You have 311's it is around $199 per box, if its PVR's could be as much as $299. Consider Dish paid someone to come out & install it & supplied...

    Who makes the HDTVs dish is selling?

    I just got one of those Dish TV's In My opinion they are great deals, depending on how much You pay for one, I got Mine for $636, (40" rear project), although I don't have a good HDTV signal yet, the DVD's are great in progressive scan. If You don't want to spend big bucks for HDTV, they are...

    Dish Network service vs Directv

    Always get a second opinon Before You decide NOT to get Dish, get a second opinon of the site, maybe ask for a senior Tech or installer. Maybe ask what You can do to make the install more easy for the installer. Sometimes when I go to a job & see more work than normal I will say LOS, (line...
