    Satellite Signal Meter, Best under $200?

    I haven't used the AIM or hold it yet. But if it has the same cumbersome menu structure as the satvision (which I am familiar with and wouldn't touch with 10ft pole), I would not consider it at all. Yes, it is cheaper, but you get what you get. If you have the Birdog or the Super Buddy with...

    Satellite Signal Meter, Best under $200?

    I googled the meter you mentioned above, since I wasn't aware of it. It is listed here: Field Operations Training I have seen that platform of meters before (made in Taiwan or China). It is a difficult meter to work with. Too many button to push. You will spend more time on getting to the...

    Self-install ?

    You can have the DirecTV installer do the job. You can go after the installation is done and do your quality check and fix any mistakes. Or you can be present during the installation to give your suggestions, if needed.

    Tailgate Setup Issue

    amm601 I assume you are using a different coaxial cable than what you have at home. Start by checking the connectors on the cable and center conductor. If you have a continuity meter, check for any short circuit on the cable. If cable is fine, check your elevation angle on dish. Now aim...

    What to do with Old DirecTV boxes

    If it can be re-activated, donate it to a Non-profit (salvation army, Goodwill, Church, etc.) and get the tax deduction on your 2009 tax return for fair market value. This will apply also for used clothing, furniture, tools, etc. that can be recycled (reused) through a community organization.

    tried to take dish camping "note tried"

    Seems to me you are missing the satellite. I would recommend for your next trip to get a single LNBF dish, a good compass, and an SF95L satellite signal meter (or the kit version SF95LK). Also, check the connectors on your cable. One may have came loose or the strands of wire are touching...

    slimline dish lnb removal

    Yep. I never had CATV for the last 25 years since the days of C-band. At that time C-band was like having a HD picture quality compared to the lousy CATV picture then. Of course a C-band system did set you back about 2-3 grands.

    Nik, No need to sweep 360 degrees. Just get to the true azimuth as close as possible, then sweep +/- 5 degrees from that angle. If not signal, adjust the elevation up/down 1 degree at a time and do the sweep again slowly. Others also gave you some good suggestions about checking the cable...

    My DirecTV install experience

    I agree, the staples are not the best to use for this type of installation. I would suggest these type of staples. Also, I would use washers on those bolts. I would have raised the cable and laid it above and around the door frame instead of the way he did it.
