Gotta love it when you try to help someone and they get offended

There would be two lines from the dish. Those two lines have to go somewhere to what is called a node. I am guessing that the 1:2 splitter you see is actually a tap. The tap says Host/Client on it. That host line would be going to your hopper and only your hopper. The client line can be...

You have a tv in your bathroom?? lol How far away is the other location? You'd either want a really long rca cable, or get a modulator and hook the joey's rca out to the modulator and run coax to the other location. both options will not give you hd though at the second location. As far as...

Good luck to you. Trust me, it's not a dream job. Not by far. But I won't bash it although there are a lot of negatives. There are positives to, such as a paycheck lol. Dish is a very micro managed company. I could go on and on. Best of luck though, it can be rewarding. But as someone...

Yep. You're work sounds like custom work. Techs get the catch 22 there. They have time frames to maintain. They cannot charge anything for custom labor. You are getting a "free" install. So it's pretty hard to find the tech that is going to devote his whole day to custom labor. I always...

I would think that if the tree was in the way it would go out all the time, not just when it's cloudy or raining. Unless the tree is blocking just enough that you are barely getting signal to begin with. Unless it's a massive tree you should be getting some stations fine and others would go...

Offer any one of the upper management pinheads a proposition. Start at any entry level position, tech/csr/etc. last 6 months. No special treatment, you're just a name and number. And live on that salary. If you happen to get fired along the way you don't go back to your manager job, your...

Cant see diagram on phone :-(

Maybe obvious question... But they did run 3 lines from dish to dou node?

We had a batch of duo nodes that were mislabeled. Host was labeled client and client labeled host. Bad sticker. Check that. otherwise I'd have to guess there's something in the host line. Check it, check it again, make them run a new line even if it's temporary and strung across your house...

They do have integrated legacy lnbfs, they just have the dish logo on them as opposed to dp or dpp

Legacy as in two single eyes? In which case you will need two 21 switches. Or legacy as in one solid lnbf with both eyes built in? In which case just run two lines, one for each sat input.

My feelings exactly. I don't expect tips, but they are very appreciated. But when I help move your furniture, hookup your vcr, dvd player, unpack and setup your new tv..... Happens all the time with no tip.

Noticed there hasn't been a follow up to your post. Any luck yet? Hard wired to the internet is obviously the best way to go. Let us know if you got the issue resolved.

That would be my question too. How is your hopper connected to the internet? I know firefox works for dish online with my 922 and chrome does not. I should think ie would work too. Not sure though because I don't use IE.

Be a little bit more specific. If you're moving the dish then you should have cable running into a ground block along with a ground from the mast to the ground block and then from the ground block to the ground source. Typically rg6 with a 17 gauge attached to the mast both going to a ground...

Agreed, Sundays are just another install day, not big deal anymore. But as an installer, just like anyone else, I hate working holidays. Everyone spending time with their family watching you work. And everyone always says the same thing, "i can't believe you have to work on today?". Yet...

Yep, I used to do that from time to time with a dvd recorder.

Yeah, it never makes sense. Before upgrading to a 922 I had a 612. It only shows a capacity of 30 hd hrs. I counted all programs recorded and it came to something like 45 hrs and it still showed 13 hrs available. if not all, then just about all of that was hd recordings

How is tv 2 getting it's signal currently? straight from the receiver or are you sure there's not a diplexer somewhere?

He said dish pro plus. And that would be correct.

Been awhile since I used my bird dog, but bl 119 should work. Go to their website birddog.tv or something like that, I can't remember and make sure to update it with the latest list. Also just run the line from the receiver to the lnb so the receiver powers the lnb. Use a jumper to aim. That...

Dpp lnb's are power hogs, that's most likely why it's going over current. I don't know anything about that meter, sounds similar to a bird dog. 1000.4 more than likely isn't picking up 119. Should be 61.5, 72 and 77. You're meter may our may not even recognize them. 61.5 would be your best...

Two different dishes? One at the campground and one at your sisters. If so you're system is perhaps still thinking it's hooked to the old dish. Try running a checkswitch. Menu, 6, 1, 1. Then test. Should be no reason to run two lines from the lnv to the receiver unless you're missing...

Is it the sling having hd issues our are you having hd issues straight from the receiver? Just wondering if possibly your internet is not fast enough if it's just a sling issue.
