yep. but the tech said the dish pole won't work because the LOS was poor. i told him i'd pay for the pole and wiring and he is installing now.
I am switching to Directv

Thats almost a dollar a foot + 75 for the pole ....
Hopefully it's BURIED coax and he's trenching it.
for a pole and bury that far, its approx right. usually the bury charge doesnt include the first 20 ft, so he is probably a subcontractor. make sure he changes out the wall barrel connectors before he leaves, if they are white/grey/clear they are much more prone to failure!
Really, care to explain ?
I was told years ago that the Blue were the ones that worked with the current stuff ... just presumed that the blue was the way to go.
Can't really understand why because it's just a barrel ... but I've been using blue since then and I don't know that you can buy the others anymore.
Sure. Directv has been saying for the longest that the clear barrels don't pass sat frequencies, but those in the know with the right equipment and tools had performed various test and found out there is really no difference between the clear and blue insert F-81 connectors
The primary difference is the high frequency ones have more contact with the coax center conductor than the white/gray ones. No difference in frequency pass through however.
These companies, (probably more than just D*) that are using the Blue ones, probably have a deal with the vendor.
I kinda doubt it ... Most major companies use the cheapest reasonably good equipment they can find.It's probably Monster
Then again, maybe Monster only OVER CHARGES the general public !
