    Program Guide for 922, Tree in the way

    You are right the tree has to die. It's a shame because I planted the tree about 12 years ago. A nice Willow Oak, it's around thirty feet tall. Oh well it's going to be fire wood for next winter. Just hoping that I could pick up the IPG on another sat. Thanks for the help Shalom

    PVC Schedule 40

    don't try to use the PVC pipe even with concrete you will have a problem. Check the phone book for commerical fence company's. They have pipe that hold up a three hundred pound gate. They always have scrap pipe. Don't try to use Lowes or Home Depot fence pipe, go commerical.

    Go to a commercial fence company. They have pipe that will hold a three hundred pound sliding gate. I have a commercial fence company near me and they always have scrap pipe for a little bit of nothing. Don't try this with Home Depot or Lowes fence pipe.

    best way to install 6ft bud

    Never lived in a HOA but knew a guy who did. He put up a BUD, the HOA told him to take it down. He appealed and showed them some sort of regulation concerning satellite reception and he got to keep his BUD. Sorry don't have a copy of the regulations.

    Is 4DTV Doomed? Should it be?

    I have a 922 4DTV and love it. I have a 57 inch Sony in the rec room and a 32 inch Sony in the bedroom. The 57 inch Sony has a picture almost as good as HD, the 32 inch is newer and the HD is better than the 4DTV reception, but still great. I think that 4DTV has about ten years left as long...

    Guide information not available?

    I have had the same problem with the guide. It seems to work out best if I park my dish on G1- 158 and turn it off. I have a sub for this and it does work better than if I try and let it update by moving the dish itself.
