yeap, you are right, but lower wages bring lower skills of work. The top techs are getting out of this business and finding different kinds of work. "No real question here, other than, how stupid does an installer have to be to disconnect a existing cable in an apartment building to make it...

Tar patch, Bishop tape, and pitch patch are the same, just different company call it differently. It is mandatory for DirecTV and Dish network’s techs to use bishop tape. Bishop tape works very well in creating a sealed on the roof and sticks to the asphalt shingles very will and holds up...

I use tar patches or pitch patches, to sealed the lags. Yeap, use this or roof cement is optimal.

The neighbor shouldn't be hold accountable, it is the installer that use his dish. The neighbor don't know anything about satellite installation and rely on the Directv installer. The installer gets pay to install a dish and runs the lines. It is require for the installer to put one dish to...

I would too. After I cut the cable, I would call Directv, and file a complaint on the lazy ass installer who plug the cable to your dish.

I seen a power 4x8 and a power DPP44 cause the flat cable to catch fire. Flat cable are good on window where you don't need to open and close the window. Putting it on sliding doors have a higher rate of a repeat service call.

I do them but our company states we weren't allow to do mounting on brick walls or chimney, other masonry are ok. I think the reason is liability that the bricks might crumble or something.

Yeah, the HDDVR is a little buggy. If you connect the two satellite lines in the dvr first before plugging in the power, then the dvr signal meter will show signal on both tuner. If you connect the dvr after you plug in the power, then only one tuner will show signal. He must not have done too...

just get a wb16 zinwell 6x16 multiswitch from ebay, no complications and easy to install. It's $200 on ebay, if you willing to spent the money.

There is a Non Penetrating sled mount for the KaKu 5lnb dish. here is the picture. http://us.f13.yahoofs.com/bc/44bda4bc_11901/bc/My+Documents/NPR6.jpg?bfnxavEB9HN8R4AR

you can ebay it.

What are the SD LILs? are these channels on a satellite that the west coast can't pick up? Just curious.

if your tilt is correct , mast is plummed, peak your 101, then you 95 should be automatically align. Just do an auto detect in the setup menu. The 95 should pop up on the d11 signal meter.

just don't tell directv you are movingt to the west coast. install a dish in your new place and you should receive the same programming as before, including NYC locals.

The wages of installers are getting less and less, the jobs are getting harder and harder, and fuel price and inflation are rising. Later or sooner, with how things are going, the industry will filter out all the real pro installer and left with idiots.

If you paid him, he'll do it. <<I'm a professional and I do everything I can to help my clients.>> You probably get pay alot more than these guys. If he spend two hours of work for free, he probably make less than the fastfood guys.

Yeap, that would save alot of trouble for Directv, tech and the end user. If the tech found out it is not the H-20, it would save alot of time and money for Directv and only takes the tech 5 min to find that out.

I think techs can't swap out advance products like tivo, hd, etc, only basic receivers. All advance products, directv has to ship it to you to swap out the bad receiver. I think.

Our company charged us $10 for each non-responders. Our pay for installs get less and less over time and now they deduct $10 for not hooking a phone line for each receiver. I just loss $40 for a 4 box install, that is some Bullsh!t, especially when customer only has a celluar phone. I...

Here is the list of True Free to Air stuff, but the programming sucks. You need to aim at their satellites to receive their programming. "I copy and pase from another forum" PANAMSAT 9 58o W 3805 C H *CRI - China Radio International 3428 PANAMSAT 9 58o W 3815 C H Onda Local...

Of course you can get free channels from Directv without paying for them. Check out channel 100 and 201. Entertainment and educational programming.

OK, that make sense. Thanks you for your help.

I think it can be done, since the SlimLine is lighter in weight. I have put the DTV international dishs on tripods before and the AT9 are about the same size as the interantional dishs. just get yourself a 2" pole and some clyinder blocks.

Thats what I heard too, that the H10-250s have bad tuners. One time I install an ota which is near the towers, I got 0 receptions, but I swap out the H10-250 with another H10-250 and most of my locals comes in. This happen to me and one of my friends too.

<<why would you need 19 receivers? Just out of curiousity>>> I don't need 19 receivers, I just wanted to know if it can be done with out power multiswitchs. It's just more conviene to not need to run the power. <<Make sure all ports are power passive. >> are you sure that all ports...
