    Major help needed. MDU system

    I did think to myself that all 5 of the 24's could be bad. Like I said I wired the house in about mid June and the receivers where put in about mid October. I do not know if the 24's always had the problem or not. As I said earlier also I can take a 23 and put on the line that has the 24 and the...

    Major help needed. MDU system

    Absolutely no way to move the dish. Even if we moved it closer to the house, from the POE to the SWMBOX is still 150'. The POE is on the north side of the house also so the dish would still have to go 50' to 75' from the dish. Cable is Commscope Quad. The longest run in the system, from the...

    Major help needed. MDU system

    Amps have been pulled out and same result, just less db and signal at the receivers. They are not really line amplifiers; they are are to compensate for the lower frequencies.

    Major help needed. MDU system

    So I have a question, the only difference in the 23's and 24's is the b band converter is inside of the 23's. Even though this is a ka/ku system that is turned into a swim system could that be the problem and the 24's need the converter in the line? Does anyone know if the 23's detect the swm...

    Major help needed. MDU system

    I have spent the afternoon in the twilight zone. This is a job that I wired 6 months ago and only got signal inside of the house for a company that was doing a home automation system for the customer, I did not put the receivers in "the other company did" so I do not know if the system has...

    How to run long distance HD cables from receiver to TV?

    Your not going to lose any type of picture quality through HDMI, if its there its going to be the same on a 100' run as it is a 3' run. Its almost like running cables from a satellite to a receiver, if you have a 25' cable run from dish to receiver your not going to see a difference in the...

    Interferance question

    I recently installed a 10 apartment complex with DTV. In one of the apartments when the receiver was hooked to the TV picture was normal "tv was hooked up by coax" but when I added the satellite feed tv would hum and lines on the tv would appear. I did try different receivers and different ports...

    Do Installers remove the old dish?

    Removing old equipment is not part of an install or upgrade. Sometimes it is easier to take the old dish off and mount in the same location but removing the old dish is not included.

    Is my installer gouging me?

    Only my view's, 5 rooms require additional cable which is not included in the standard install. A different type of switch that may not be included in the standard install. Extra labor not included. Also the receiver is not included. It may not be as unreasonable as you think.

    non-penetrating slanted roof mount for AT9 dish??

    This is true. What you discribe is a ridge mount. http://www.bairdsatellitesupports.com/pdfs/ss-rm_ridgemount.pdf A roof mount will not fold like this. Most ridge mounts are used on hotals that do not have a flat roof.

    non-penetrating slanted roof mount for AT9 dish??

    This is not going to be your problem. that is going to be your problem. Most installers don't like to get over 10 feet and will make up any excuse not to.

    99% of the time a cable that was put in during the construction phase will be stapled to the framing to insure it will not get between the drywall and the frame.

    DirecTV to launch "Switch from Dish" campaign

    Its not just me. You and I are the same in this situation because YOU were NOT privy to the conversation also.;) You are going by what your friend said and I am stating what is fact and that is there is never a charge to talk to a D* rep.:up

    DirecTV to launch "Switch from Dish" campaign

    It is Incorrect. It is not D* policy just to talk as I quote you "She was told that in order to actually talk to a CSR, she would have to PAY $5.00". The point is you tried to report wrong information. If she tried to order a PPV its is 5 dollars if you place a phone order because they charge an...
