dishpro question

[sA :: Shaggy]

I have two questions
1) what is so great about dishpro? Does it make a better picture or what?
2) Is $40 for a dishpro quad lnb and 300' of rg6 cable a good price? (new in box)

You already asked the second quesion - and I answered you.

As for the first, well, the search button is your friend.

If RG6 cable is $.20 per foot, it would cost 300' x $.20 = $60 just for the cable alone. I only give that to you as a reference. Each installer has their own cost per foot. You could call an installer in your area that you aren't going to use this time and ask what they charge. That would give you an idea of what others are charging in your area.

ya im adding the room myself (just redid the siding and no holes for another 4 years lol) and the guy works for dishnet and is selling everything new and local

You may be able to get a deal on a couple DP Twins from him, or a couple of dishes. Of course that all depends on what your long term goals are for installs. Another thing that might come in handy would be if he has any Satellite finders or cable crimpers. If you can do a room addition, you are handy. Self installs might be something you could do!

See http://ekb.dbstalk.com/217. Signal strength does not affect picture quality once you're above the threshhold level (somewhere in the 40s?) of being able to resolve a picture.

linky dont work

DishPro makes installs easier if you are workign with multiple satellite and receivers

 

[Jared Twomey]

so are you wanting to add another room to an exsisting setup, and thats why the quad? because if so you need to make sure your current receivers are dishpro compatible, or you will have to get adapters for them.
