If you can buy a R15 why not pay your bill?

The "little box" was your multi-switch which you will need no matter what since you will either need 5 feeds if you include the dvr as one of the 4 rooms or 6 feeds if its 5 rooms all together. As for asking for directions I would say when I installed I had to call people about 25% of the time...

Sound like the memory is F U L L if you let it record suggestions it doesn't take up memory for upcoming recordings but the more full the memory the slower the TIVO.

yep

You may getaway with using rg 59 however you risk the line burning up. The dielectric in the rg 59 can't pass voltages like 13v or 18v. The installer will IMMEDIATELY fail a QC if they use it. Good luck.

1st off the gromets aren't really intended for outdoor use but thats another story. If I were to come out to do the install for you I would charge you for a custom install.I am not sure where the area is you want it installed in relation to the grounding source but if I hadto run extra cable...

Line Of Sight

Are you sure there isnt something in your LOS?

I installed sat dishes until about a year ago. I cut PLENTY of coax while it was connected to the LNB and receiver. I NEVER had a single problem. The potential problems I see are: Crappy connectors, coax braid is coming out and touching the copper core, SEVERE bend in cable, staple or...

It should work. There are 4 outputs and 4 lines are needed.

I still don't understand what this means: "Because I will be feeding two receivers, I cut the line between the dish and the grounding block, added F-connectors and made that original long line from the dish to the grounding block into two shorter lines. I connected both of these lines to my...

Try switching the outgoing cables around at the multiswitch. If oneof your other recievers starts having this problem its the multiswitch if not probably the cabling or connectors. Have you given any thougth to turning off the reciever?

If your installer has never heardof wireless phone jacks I would bea bit worried about the install.

Is it just a tv or a tv/vcr/dvd combo unit? If there is a vcr/dvd player attached (1 or both) sometimes you have to control the tv through using the dvd or vcr function on the remote. Kinda hard to explain w/o getting TOO long winded. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Good luck.

Call around to local satellite retailers. If you are close and there are techs in need of work you could probably get it done cheaper than $70. If you are going to run a new line it will cost some dough. All the tools and supplies to get the line up and running aren't super cheap. $70 to get...

Turn the suggestions off. Even though it wont take up space intended for something you set to record it will s l o w everything way down.

From reading your post I can assume that you have already invested $200-300 in a self install a qualified certified and possibly competent installer could have done for free to you. At this point I see no other option for you than a BirdDog satellite finder. For a mere $500 you can be the envy...

Although alot of free installs are garbage why do people try to self install? Why not let the professionals do it? If you don't like a free installer hire someone to install it.

Call Value Electronics!

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure the contract signed allows for D* to raise prices. Isn't this thread supposed to be under DVR not general?

techdood, youcanhave justone reciever and have thesignal sent to all televisions. You won't be able to watch 2 different channels at the same time.

If you go to ebay you will see more options than you could hope for. I would send you one but it would cost more in shipping than it costs new. If you can't find one by itself just buy a wall plate and take the barrel off it.

So I'm not sure if this is covered somewhere in this forum but will a phone line be REQUIRED w/ the R15 as it now is for the R10. The only reason I have a land line is for my D*Tivo.

Maybe he's on vacation or sick... Give him a break. I know every consumer wants to be treated like he/she is the only one but hey I'm sure he's got a lot on his plate. How long have you been trying to reach him? Also if you call why not just order remote from whoever answers the phone? From...

Depending on how clear los is if the dish is installed right you don't need to worry about rain fade. I live in Washington state, about 30-40 South of Seattle. My directv service has NEVER been interrupted.
