    129 LOS Issue

    If your elevation is that far off either you are aiming at the wrong satellite, or your mast is not plumb. Make sure the pipe you are putting the dish onto is plumb (level two ways 90* apart). If your pole is not plumb the settings from dishpointer are useless.

    311 in constant reboot

    A constantly rebooting receiver is usually a sign of a short in the line. It could be from water in the line outside, or it's usually a little piece of braid wrapped around the center conductor in one of the connectors. Check every connector in that line closely - I'll bet you'll find it.

    Tip the Installer?

    I'd like you to show me that policy. People have been fired from our office for accepting tips.

    Dish not grounded

    It sounds like you have an old installation. Guys used to just mount the dish near the top of the roof and feed the cables into the attic thru a roof vent so they don't have to make anymore holes. This is not Dish approved anymore. OSHA requirements state that anytime we walk on a roof we...

    Dish Internet Service

    Yes, gaming is still not possible due to the latency, but page flipping is much better than it was. It works through a separate (slightly larger) dish.

    Tip the Installer?

    Technically DNS technicians are not allowed to accept tips - it's against company policy. If you want to help him out, purchase a screen cleaning kit as mentioned ($15), and give him all 10's on the phone survey that will be coming. (Please listen, as you have to press Zero on the phone to...

    Major Hopper flaw, Problems resuming & can't sync Same Program

    Turn your head and watch the other screen - Solved! Seriously though, as of right now I do not believe there is a way to do this. I do not think anyone designing the system thought someone would want to watch the same thing in sync between 2 rooms that do not have any walls between them. You...

    Moving to a new home new home wiring

    Dish techs do not have the tools to perform a two-story wall fish. Even most electricians will have to cut an access hole in your drywall somewhere to perform it. Dish techs do perform single story wall fishes though. And whoever you get to run the cables, always have them run a "home-run" or...

    DNS installer's perspective

    I've done 5 installs and have only run into one problem when doing an EA install. We've noticed a while ago that our latest shipment of EA LNBs even with VIP receivers they would never show "locked" on the point dish screen when connected to port 1 on the LNB. This same phenomenon kept 2...

    Any Issues with 118.7

    What are your signal strengths on TPs 1, 2, 24 and 25?

    Sling setup

    Sorry for asking the obvious, but your Hopper is connected to the internet right? Cause the red light will not come on if no internet connection is detected.

    Best method to get phone line to Hopper

    I don't know. Connect one and then call your phone and see if it shows up on both. Sharing things like Caller ID may already be implemented, much easier than sharing streaming video.

    Hopper wants to run check switches all the time?

    I don't know if it would make a difference, but try connecting the 77 port from the LNB to the 44 switch as well. Even if the signal strength is almost nothing, no channels come from that orbital anyway, so it should never be a problem. But as long as the Hopper sees that it's there maybe it...

    How does PTAT and dish unplugged actually work?

    3 Tuners is the most they could fit on one cable with the current bandstacking technology. See the page 5 image in this post.

    Best method to get phone line to Hopper

    The Hopper does not have DishComm, the Phonex would be your best bet.

    Check your wall plates

    Glad he caught that, a lot of techs "overlook" the wall plate barrels because they don't think they matter.

    Mirror Tvs with a Joey

    Same thing applies with a Hopper - mirroring will require a second cable run.

    Day one experience, and hopper logo always on screen on joey watching the same channel as hopper?

    I've only noticed the Roo when I join (or hop onto) another tuners feed. I think it's letting you know you're jumping on someone elses feed. At least that's my best explanation at this point.

    GOOD News !!!

    A single HIC will feed two Hoppers - I set one up like this on Thursday.

    FYI - Diplexers adversely affect Moca signal strength

    Yes, diplexers are not allowed in a H/J setup. The backfeeds or OTA signals operate in the same frequency range as the MOCA signals and will cause severe interference. If you want OTA or to mirror a TV you will need a separate cable.

    2 Hoppers, 4 Joeys, 2 Tech visits (6 Hrs Fri and 4 Hrs today) and still no second Hopper install

    EA or WA? There are 3 lines from the LNB to Node, correct? Have they tried changing the LNB?

    No BlockBuster (Broadband Problem)

    Are you having issues just from the Joey, or from the Hopper too?

    Dish Unplugged...How?

    It just chooses on it's own.
