Check your connectors, I run 180' and still get a 96-92 signal on transponders,

Had a call from a friend who is having trouble here is situation he told me about: All inside lines were prewired and then finished over... There is a eliptical dish with a double LNB that is bringing lines down to High Def Receivers and getting strong signals on all transponders...

No way around it, you would have to bring all 4 lines down and in...

I love my Digisat II... But If I needed a new one I would probably go with the Acutrac 22 Pro... You can get all sats when you have the 101 & 119 lined up 110 hits automatically since its in between the 2... If your only going with 1 ladder then I would get a 28' I use a 20' and have a...

enter your zip code in the setup menu, it will tell you there.

I would say RCA go "poof" or send your overdue payment in... No seriously, Try the reset, ( unplug it for a few mins ) Is this the only receiver you have in the house, if not is the other working? Check the switch, I would say its the receiver though.

If you are using a Triple LNBF dish (18x20), it has a built in Multi Switch... If you run that to another multiswitch then you confuse the other multiswitch... IT WONT WORK! I read that you have just 2 TIVO's, then you run 4 lines off the LNBF to ground Blocks, then the two lines to each...

All Cables should be grounded, The 4 lines come to two Dual Ground Blocks, I have seen a quad ground block, but haven't used them yet...

Here is a thread that was ran on the boards... http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=20492 also, you can get alot of info on the business side from: http://www.dbsinstallsupport.com/index.htm

Did the reset help? Give an update...

yep, the std multi switch won't work with a triple LNB since it has a Multi switch built in... The powered Multi switch is the way to make it happen ENJOY!

I believe you hit on it, I myself would replace the run.

HEY Pete! Whats the 1st thing to look at after you meet the customer and see where the TV's are? I hunt the Common Ground and look for line of site from the shortest distance ( which is usually in the back of house... ) this way I know I am under the 20' to ground it...

But Pete, all the hacks are now screaming that they have to spend an additional 5 mins to ground a system! LOL

who was this group?

I dont use that brand of meter, but it is a good one... but to answer your question... I believe this is to test the coax for a short, you would hook up the acutrac to one end of the coax run and put a 75 ohm Terminator on the other end for return... Your meter would read this level to...

you need a Multi switch that allows 13 - 18 to pass through.... you need 2 lines from LNB to multiswitch, then 3 lines out to receivers Heres a diagram - ( not sure if you use Off Air Ant. for locals or not ) if you don't, eliminate the Off air ant. and Diplexer

I like the Digistat II and channel master I mostly use the digistat II

The Tivo requires 2 lines and phone line

Oops!

It is taken from the National Standards and Testing Program ( SBCA ) sorry If I made it seem to say you have to have 20'... You shouldn't go over 20'

if you have more than 1 receiver switch them out. see if they work that way, take your time hooking them back up to let them reset

Yes it will work, don't hook up the phoneline - I would take it back home every couple weeks and plug it up to the phone line and let it upload the PPV info for your bill if you have any. Most RVers take theirs with them and a dish on tripod.

don't matter - turn off and unplug it for 15 - 25 sec's it should be fine then

bnaivar - I agree you should ground to common ground at power box, but he asked - To be to code you have to back-bond the Ground rod to the common ground with #6 bare wire ( 20' max ) Sorry, I don't make the rules - I just follow them.
