    Minimizing cable runs for apartment complex install

    well, u might wanna go with wireless video transmitters. but will need multi switch to run more than 2 recievers with 3 sat input. u will have set up your reciever in your neighbor apartment. depending on where u buy it, range on wireless video transmitter is 100~500 feet.

    The problem with DVR's

    get 508 or 501 off ebay, they don't have dvr charge. dish would charge u lot of money for 510 upgrade now that u r existing customer. (u might have to pay retail price+labor to install )

    Sat 119 weird signal...

    if you have legacy setup, your max. cable run is 100 feet. after that u need inline amp. in your case it sounds like bad quad, check if your system is ground and check cable connections. Call your local retailer. and have them fix it. typical service call will be between $100 and 200.

    Is a Quad LNBF standard or extra??

    3ghz is not an overkill, when dishnetwork transfers over to mpeg 4, u'll know why. on new install dptwin+dp34=free, dpquad=free? which one would you prefer? would you rather go with dpquad and pay for switch later down the road? (u will end paying for 2 more switch) in the field dpquads are...

    Is a Quad LNBF standard or extra??

    Your RG6 cable needs to rated for 3000mhz not 2150. the reason i said for dp 34 switch is that, once that switch in place, he doesn't have to change any lnbs or anything, he'll just have to add it as it goes. If your house has smart box system. and prewire and running, dish will give you...
