Little late to the party here but I have a couple dpp 33 switches laying around somewhere. Sounds like you won't need it but if you do I'd happily send one your way for the cost of shipping.

It's been awhile since I checked but iirc I get about 35 or 40 down. There are newer powerline/moca adapters now that are much faster than that but they're a little pricier.

I don't have dish any more and I'm still using HIC's to extend my network. They work great. Just put an hic where the hopper was in the diagram and use the rj45 port to an Ethernet switch.

Just wanted to say thanks for this information. Had 2 remotes for my brother in laws hopper that stopped responding. Was able to unpair them but they wouldn't respond to a new pairing request. He's temporarily wheelchair bound after a catastrophic work injury and TV is about all he can do right...

Just looking and it seems the "firetv" has been replaced with the Firetv Cube or whatever they call it. So now the options are Cube or Stick?

They will accomplish the same thing and have the same functionality, however, the Firetv is a bit larger and has a faster processor. I personally prefer it to the stick, although I was disappointed when they eliminated the Ethernet port on the firetv. Using the adapter works fine but it's an...

I think tablo just went back and grandfathered existing subs back to the lifetime transferable subscription. They sent me an email the other day. Also I have had really good success with the remote viewing on my dual tuner Tablo. Didn't see anyone mention that but I could have missed it.

I believe there's been a 7 second delay in live television and radio broadcasts for quite some time. IIRC it was an issue after the Janet Jackson nipple "slip" during the halftime show of Super Bowl whatever it was.

The problem is that in the world we live in today the corporations and ad agencies are afraid to go out on a limb and be edgy or take any chances. Everyone is either easily offended or looking for a reason to be offended and it's not worth the risk. I can't imagine the outcry if the Godaddy...

I was referring to the satellite itself not the lnb on the dish.

Your elevation is too high. 61.5 comes in lower and to the left of 72 if you're looking from behind the dish. If I had to guess the mast is probably plumb front to back but a little bit off side to side. Just my $0.02.

That's definitely the best way to do it. And they'll probably offer you some sort of discount or other perks to stay. Being out of contract gives you some leverage. I played that game for awhile before I finally cancelled.

Just do something lol. My random cable OCD is on overload.

So it's been awhile since I was a tech but I did a lot of diplexing and double diplexing back in the day. MOCA frequencies and OTA/RF frequencies tend to run in the same range so that can cause problems if you're using both. However, and correct me if I'm wrong, but a wally is basically a...

If you use a 2nd HIC you'll also need a tap. Or at least that's how it worked before the H3 was around. But it would definitely work. I have mine running to an Ethernet switch for all my AV equipment.

Same day drop-in installations used to drive me nuts. Never failed to be at the end of what had been a pretty good day. Might get home by dinner. Don't get me started on holidays.

I agree with dishdude. Assuming a clear LOS you need to raise the elevation a little bit and swing your dish to the right. You're probably pretty close to where you need to be. Last time I put up a dish without a meter I just ran a temporary line to the receiver and a small TV and cranked the...

Depending on the skew for the dish you can't always use all 4 bolts on the plate. We were never able to use them here when I was installing.

You can't run from those lnb's to the node without a switch.

Wasn't RAI mirrored on 119 at one time?

Everything is negotiable. The only leverage you have is being out of contract. You can cancel at any time. I went the last 3 years with varying levels of credits by using that same leverage. Finally cancelled my service last month and went with OTA and fire TV with Kodi.

My guess would be the 129 is blocked by something on the horizon. Remember it comes in considerably lower than 119. Been out of the business for a few years but that's where I'd start. If you're positive there's no obstruction try and slowly raise or lower your elevation. A couple degrees could...

I had a $45x12 credit that just expired. Need to call and "cancel" again.

yep 2 are required. going on 2 years without issue in my setup.

The referrals have to be in the time frame specified in the fine print. I believe it was June 1 thru December 31. Anything prior won't count. So apparently they forgot about me. Called in August, 4 weeks after my 3rd referral was activated, they said it could take up to 8 weeks. No big deal so...
