    No signal on 99 or 103 and no HD

    Dumb Question... If it was a slimline 3 w/swm (one line to receiver, splitters used to get to multiple tvs) you should not need the BBC. If it was a regular slimline 3 (multiple lines to dvr's, one to regular, all lines from a switch or the dish itself) then you do need the BBC. You said...

    Need Advice: Installers coming BACK!

    If you are... In NYC as it appears, you should have a single LNB dish outside (1 "eye"). You should be running high 80's, Low 90's if it is pointed correctly (you may actually end up high 90's depending on). That being said, the TWC cable is not likely your problem (at least the cable...

    What would cause transponder to go like 0-80-0

    Check... The output of the receiver and make sure it is outputing voltage when it's checking transponders. My guess would be input 2 isn't outputting 18v, just 13v based on you not getting anything on the 110. If that is the case, time for a new receiver. If it is putting out 18v (as well as...

    Two TVs on One Dish? Help!

    If... It is just 2 receivers, you should be able to run both directly off of the dish, Based on the statement that you are not getting Sat B/C I assume that you have a PhaseIII which would mean you want to run a line straight from the second receiver to the LNB (there will be 4 outputs, doesn't...

    Getting AT9, HR20, Zinwell WB68 - Have questions

    Ok... I'm a little confused:D Unless you need more than 8 outputs (since your adding the DVR) you would just swap the 68 in place of the old MS, The other non HD/MPEG4 will see the 5-LNB as a PhaseIII. Now if you need more than the 8 outputs, run 4 lines from the 68 into the old MS and you...

    How would this be wired? Can you backfeed with D* on same cable?

    And... The answer would be a set of diplexors, run a new line from the livingroom to the bedroom or to run a 3rd line from the dish to the receiver, either way you will want to run a second line from the dish to the living room. So basically you would have 1 line straight from the dish to...

    $180 a little high for a pole install?

    Been a while since I checked on beams shut down, still not half the country but 6 is more than the 2 I had heard last. Your point:D Dway doesn't inspect jobs, half the jobs I have done service calls on for other installers were not grounded, dishes were not solidly mounted, sloppy cable...

    $180 a little high for a pole install?

    On the pole issue, It is simple, If I can get it from the house I will unless the customer wants a pole or needs it (trees or something else), The only time a customer needs a pole and it can be that close in general is if the house is entirely built using materials I can't mount to (Metal...

    tricky install, how can i entice them to do it

    Seriously, if he actually is willing to work with you, I would have no problem mounting the dish, pointing at what I could and then you can drop the trees as necessary, then or later:D But then again, I'm a nice guy:D WTT Sidenote: You would be signing off on it though:D

    $180 a little high for a pole install?

    And In Reply... Read it carefully, $125 including 25ft of "Soft Ground Trenching", In this area you are lucky if it isn't solid rock and if it is within 25ft of the house I'll be happy to drop the price for ya, less work for me, but out of 100+ Dway/Hughes Poles I have done about 5 could get...

    Please Help! 300' run

    Not a problem... Go with Solid Copper RG6 Quad just to be safe but you would be fine with any standard RG6 cable, our company has done at least 10 that I can think of that are 250 - 350 feet from the house:D The inline amps aren't really needed but you can try them, pretty sure the directions...

    Dish pointing for local channels

    Ditto... There is a 20 degree spread in the sky between the 101 and the 119, depending on your location/trees/etc. you may be clear for the 101 but not the 119. You will need to find out where the 101 is (Azimuth and Elevation) and the same for the 119, figure out if your pointing into a...

    Installation?multiswitch question for newbie

    I Havn't... Actually seen a 4x8 for sale (not that I have even thought of looking for one) and have only been given/installed 5x8s, so the answer is that yes a 4x8 will work fine but in general a 5x8 is given:D

    Installation?multiswitch question for newbie

    To Answer the... original question, I have no idea why he is even offering the choice, you should be automatically getting the 5x8 with the system (not sure on if there is a charge for it or not). You can't use the 2x8 with a PhaseIII unless you want to give up the 110 and the 119 (Hi-Def and...

    And... (1) Yes* (2) Yes* (Depending on what the "Existing Cable Hook Up" Is, Remember, He will need to run a total of 4 lines to the multi-switch from the dish). (3) Possibly no but possibly yes, "Well"??? Basically the 4x8 should be powered using standard RG6 from the Wall outlet to the...
