Oh no! I just read this and my install was earlier this afternoon. He *DID* use a diplexor. What is the problem with this? Can you tell me why this is not good? Anything I can do at this stage, or is it too late?Rick214 said:
rvaidyan,
If everything works for you, I wouldn't change it at this point, unless you run into some problems (like getting wrong channels on 261 and 262). Most people who have diplexers installed do not experience any problems, so no need to panic. Sit back, relax and enjoy your VOOM!
Welcome aboard!

How do I find what should be the angle from my house the dish should be? Is there a web page I can use to figure that out? Thanks
Here is one more question to the list:
What should I check before signing the installer's paperwork?
Here are some suggestions for the unofficial work acceptance check-list:
- Verify that the STB is connected to your TV via DVI or Component cables.
- Check several random channels from the channel list to see if they all work correctly.
- Verify that premium channels included in your plan work correctly.
- If you subscribe to Starz, check channels 261 and 262 and verify that they are showing Starz, not something else, like Bravo HD+.
- Make sure that most (if not all) of your OTA channels work fine.
- Verify the proper grounding of your dish and antenna.
Personally, I wouldn't accept the work until the above items are confirmed.
