can't get no signal except 101

[mikedz4]

Comcast installed their.new dev in February. The installers tried to take my directv equipment and I stopped them. Well now I am trying to.setup.my directv equipment again and it won't pull in any of.103 and low numbers on 99. It's getting marginal numbers on 101.

Line from.dish goes to power inverter (power to swm) signal to ird. goes to splitter.
Red port goes to network switch.
1st orange port to genie mini
2nd Orange port to genie.

Is that setup correct?

The dish is either warped, you got something blocking your line of site or your dish is not properly aligned

Are the cables ok? Just got the dish in October. Already had lnb replaced once

I go from SWM dish to the Power Inserter to the splitter (must be on the Power (Red)) then to the recvrs.

So what goes to the in port

Anyways the lady on the phone told me a $50 charge for a tech because I have a flat cable. Tried to blame it on the frost. Finally I agreed to the charge and they are coming Thursday between 12 and 4.
Could the frost really cause my problems?

 

[mikedz4]

Next Thursday. That is the soonest they have. Good thing I have cable as well or i'd be very upset

Sounds like your dish needs to be dithered.

 

[mikedz4]

What does dithered mean?

 

[raoul5788]

That's the process of making fine adjustments in the dish alignment.

 

[mikedz4]

Why would it come out of alignment?

 

[mikedz4]

Just curious would it be possible to trade out my mini for a wireless mini?

 

[raoul5788]

You could lose alignment through high winds, faulty installation, any number of reasons. In order to get a wireless, it would have to be on the work order. Changing it now would most likely move your date back several days. No harm in calling and asking about it.

They said 99 for wireless mini 99 for wireless video bridge and 50 for new equipment. Plus New contract.

Prices vary per account. I had a customer get 3 wireless and the bridge all for nothing. I had OMG tell me another customer could get one free but would need to pay for the others. And I had another customer need to pay 99x4 one for setup and one for each client. Thought for sure that one was gonna wanna stay with wires but she paid it.

What are the advantages of wireless vs wired besides being able to more the wireless where ever you want it?
