Thanks!

Does anybody know where I can go to print off the dish settings based on zip code for a DTV phase 3 dish?

I have a customer that has this dish installed on her RV. I'm looking for any information on getting this dish to work with her directv receivers. Can it do SWM? Or is this really simple, i.e. it finds the satellites and all I have to do is activate receivers? :confused:

Anybody know if DTV will be getting this channel anytime soon?

I have to install a RV tomorrow. The customer would like to have 2 tv's hooked up to DTV but only has one line coming in from the KA/KU. Will I be able to swap the 4 port LNB for the SWM LNB? I don't see any reason this wouldn't work unless this particular dish is completly different from the...

Your right this is a gray area. Dtv's online rebate is a pain in the ass. Having installed DTV for a couple of years there have been countless times I had to sit down with the customer at their computer and help them complete the process. My company has recently started emailing customers to...

THANK YOU!

Sorry to beat a dead horse (again) Anybody know what satellite the NASA channel comes in on?

Should be fine. As mentioned before-----NO PHONE LINE, I'd probably avoid the internet as well

Typically speaking those technicians are paid a certain amt for the install. After the first receiver they get a certain amt for each additional receiver. I used to work for the corporation before switching to a retailer. They are normally willing to do things like this, but i can almost...

I like the ungrounded ground block

If it is a standard def box the RF remote will not work. Typically the range for DTV RF remotes doesn't extend as far as Dish's does. There is a kit that you can buy that works perfectly. It's called a remote control extender, basically it is the size of a hockey puck with an antenna on it. It...

If you live in the Iowa area, hold off for a few days on ordering DTV. I've been led to believe that in addition to the $29/month off for the 1st year, they will also be adding $15/month off for the 2nd year. This is because they are getting killed in dual platform retailers by Dish Network

If you wish to receive HD programming, yes, you will need to upgrade to the slimline KAKU dish. Its been awhile since I hooked a phase 3 dish to an HDDVR but if my recollection is right it will still work for SD programming. You will need to remove the B-band converters as well as reconfigure...

Force a software download If you reset your receiver, wait for the 1st blue screen to reappear. when this does so press 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 on your remote. if successful it will take you to a software download screen after a min or two. if not repeat process. this will force a new software update...

Thanks for reminding me to cancel! Not Directv's fault that MLB has ancient black out rules

Possible B-band converter, the pigtail looking thing that hooks into the sat in. those are know to crap out on occasion

I install satellites and generally recommend them lower then higher. Especially if you live where it snows a fair amount. If the dish gets covered you can just walk outside and brush it off. The ice is the worst killer for the signal however. Typically I just use a spade and get the cable...
