    How do you ground on top of a building?

    I love it, more grounding questions! RONTGLMAO! All you have to do, is either call the City/County NEC Inspector, or find a qualified Electician, and they can solve the problem of your question... Don't try grounding something yourself, unless you are qualified, and by your question, you are...

    Why do we continue to pay for channels..

    Would you open up a cable company, give away the programs, and not get a dime for the advertising??? You would go out of business the first day, because there is no income from anything, except the subscribers!!! Now if you don't want any channels except your local channels, then simply put...

    Dish gone...

    It is a Felony, for anyone to interfere, stop, harass, try to stop, or otherwise tell you that you cannot put up a Satellite Dish, to receive signal from any of the providers. The OTARD (Over the Air Reception Device) Rules, state that very plainly, and the FCC wants to know about anyone that...

    Who makes the best multi-fit connector?

    Hey NYDiver, you are right!!! You are being forced to use Dish Networks "Approved" fittings, and it is what it is!!! If I have a contract that states, "Use a specific connector", I tell them to ship me the fittings, and I use them!!! As long as they pay for the fittings, I'll use what ever...

    Spine or NO Spine, that is the question...

    Hi Scott, Your comments leave a warm and fuzzy feeling, with us!!! I doubt that anything will change in the Media Business, but you would think that they would get the hint, that all we want is "The Full spectrum" of the News, like the Transmitter gives us... LOL

    Spine or NO Spine, that is the question...

    It's all about DirecTV, and the lack of Spine on the part of most of the media... They won't print the Negatives, because they fear repercussions, and loss of revenues... LOL
