I want the installer to put my Super Dish where my Internet Sat. Dish was connected to my roof. From what I've been reading they like to install a pole to connect the dish too,(If there is no facia board on the house to hook it too). I have gutters all the way around my house. And my neighborhood doesn't allow Antenna's and stuff higher than the house. So I have my dishes attached to the roof in the back of my house .. out of view.
Will there be any problem if I want it mounted that way? The reason I'm asking I want to run new lines in my attic to the dish from the 4 TV's.
I was told they will only run the lines on the outside of my house, they won't go into my attic. I would like to run the lines before they arrive Wed. :confused:

There will be 3 lines from the dish to the switch. Then the 4 TV's will go from the switch. If you want the switch in the attic then you will need to run 3 lines out to the dish. If the switch is out by the dish then you will need to run 4 lines out there.

If there is 4 seperate lines (one to each TV) How does the box at one end of the house change the TV at the other end? There is onlt 2 boxes and 4 TV's.

The installer who installed my dish had no problem putting it on the roof much like the OP described how his could. There are specially designed stablizing bars that go perpedicular to the Dish to help brace for wind. As long as it's properly installed, there shouldn't be a problem.
Those strut assemblies are MONEY. We have to do a lot of roof mounts where I live, and those struts are perfect. As long as your center bolts on the mast foot are in a roof stud, there is no problem mounting to the roof while using struts.

I didn't see where you said that you only had 2 receivers. Then you just need 2 lines coming into the TV's then run a line loop to another TV from the receivers.

You will need to run 2 lines from the switch to each 322, that is 4 wires total going to switch. Then come from back of 322 #1 to TV #2 with a wire. Then the same for 322 #2 run a wire from were it will be to TV #4

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....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
