Hey all, I am visiting family in Alabama, and since I was here last they had Dish installed. Well, they seem to have to reboot, and restart constantly, and they started telling me how they have two DVRs and can watch those on eight TV's.
Well that did not make sense to me, so after going through the house this is what they have have..
Two DVRs. the NON HD ones..8 TV's, and here is where the fun begins. they have 4 that work right when the system is not locking up, but the other ones have to watch what other TV's are watching. I checked for a switch and there is NOT ONE, just some splitters, and it appears they used the old cable wire in the house as well...
Now I had her call them out because I am here all week and they will be here on the Thursday. What exactly should I be asking for, I mean I ano expert but should there not be a switch running these DVR's? Should there not be some plain jane boxes on some of these tv's??
I just want to know what to ask for when they are here, this pisses me off that there are people here that really dont understand this, and paying for crap that does not work..
Any help on what I should be getting would be appreciated, I just know what is here is not hooked up right, and that 8 TV's will not work on this set up.
Thanks
