If you have HD service, does an HD signal come out of ALL of the outputs?
I've got a 4 receiver system. I tried to move one of the HDTV's to another room and connected it to a wire that was connected to a 301 receiver. I got a few channels, but none were HD, and missing a ton of channels between locals up thru 59 or something, and then picked up again in the 300's. In between - nothing.
Sort of a weird set up I think. There are 2 dishes on my roof. One has 3 LNB (think that is right word), and another separate dish with only 1 LNB on it.
2 wires connect direct to a cable that feeds the HD signal to 2 locations. 2 more wires go to a DP-34 (I think) swith, and the wires coming out of that fed a 301 receiver and a an older non-HD DVR (maybe a 501??)
Eventually, I want to run 3 HD signals. Will this necessitate a service call?
Thanks,

Follow Up Dish- Installer!
OK, so the installer gets here and takes a look.. I told him what was suggested about just adding a DPP44 switch as being the easiest way to go.. in and out in 1/2 hour... But NO...
He gets on the roof and starts taking apart the LNB's on the 1000. Run's a new lead off of 129.. So now we have 3 wires coming off the 1000 whch was correct so far.. Then he just uses a barrel connector for the 3rd HD source - going straight to the 722 receiver... Told him that wouldn't work... Sure enough, it didn't. Again, I suggested a 44 switch.
He goes out to his truck gets on the phone to his super and they decide they are going to add a 1000.2 array of LNB's on the same 1000 dish. That didn't work either. Puts the originals back on.
So, he starts back to the truck to get a 1000.2 dish. At that point, now almost 2 hours here, I beg him.. "Hey, I'll bet you lunch if you just hook up a DPP44 we'll be in business". Sure enough.. Did a check switch, and they all fired up. He looked completely confused by the whole thing.
Thanks guys... you had it absolutely right from the get-go.
:up
Total time here was nearly 2 1/2 hours. Could have easily been 30-45 min max. Then getting it authorized was a whole different subject..... It's done and I'm happy

That's about where I would send this guy away and tell him to send someone competent.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
