    Directv Com1000 I’m building

    Building that is the easy part. It's all the authorizations for the 24 x 2 channel blades that's going to take time. Then the QAM muxing and distribution next!! doctor j

    Cabin Service

    Wrong setup That P121R1-03 is a power inserter not an SWM HR24-500 was on a SWM before. No SWM needed for 18 in dish. No power inserted needed either. Run guided setup and select Dish -> 18 in round Multiswitch -> none Note that in the near future +/- 1 year all SD service is going away and the...

    Directv in RV

    You are not going to like this, BUT if you are going to continue RVing and want Directv service with an HS17 you REALLY need an AIM meter and lots of practice. You must make certain the Dish/LNB is working by setting it up at home with identical settings from home dish/LNB. Then setting up...

    New OTA adapter

    When you say it's a "No Go" for the 24, does that mean you attached the LCC directly to the 24 receiver and reran setup?? The Clients will get channels and guide info from the HR54 but the HR24 will require it's own AM21 and presumably LCC to get OTA functionality. It will not pull info from the...

    Need suggestion for Slimline mounting pole

    Here is a good source. (Commercial 2" Chain Link Fence Posts) Typical 16 gauge tubing works great. Site also has 14 gauge and Sch 40 if you want maximum strength. 2 " OD tubing in any length you want. I typically get 8' and bury 2 to 3 feet in concrete after smashing flat the end and placing 2...

    Directv external hard drive for HR54?

    Multiple threads on this. Few if any all in one eSATA solutions. Yes external eSATA enclosure and SATA drive is the best route. I personally have 3 thermatakes eSATA enclosures (BlacX, eSATA model no longer available but clearly best option in past) Some old BlacX eSATA enclosures still seen on...

    Which Spot-beams do I Get?

    OK, so I've gone to my sources and this is what he said. Before D14 , Albuquerque was broadcast on D12 103 TPN 16,19 &/or 20. It did not fully cover the entirety of the DMA so when D14 was launched the transmission switched to D14 99 TPN 1 & 3. Then general assumption was that D12 tpns were...

    Which Spot-beams do I Get?

    On closer exam, Sat 103 TPN 16,19, &20 in your area (El Paso) is covered by BEAM A1B9 but no markets are assigned to that beam. I did not think they were being broadcast so I'll have to rethink. Will consult my smarter cohorts and report back. Doctor j

    Any way to pinpoint what Spotbeam signal is from?

    I suspect the Dish maps have not been constructed as accurately as the Directv ones. Are you using SD or HD maps? The pink rings on the HD maps should be fairly accurate. The very outermost rings are not really able to be received. Doctor j

    Any way to pinpoint what Spotbeam signal is from?

    I may not understand what you are asking, but for any given point in the US there is not multiple overlapping spotbeams on a single transponder. That frequency may be used on up to 6 (maybe more) spotbeams but they do not overlap. Multiple spotbeams are visible at any point but they are unique...
