They're here again...

[Mr Tony]

So is this install finally resolved??

 

[Cascade]

Not yet, Cliff is outside burying some expensive looking cable.

 

[Mr Tony]

I know you said you got acceptable signals now

god forbid Cliff screws that up....

 

[Cascade]

He's outside running direct burial cable, it's orange and beefy and looks the part.
He's wired the superdish up and grounded it.
I'll post some pics later.
I don't know if this will help with the 105 probs but he sure does some *very* nice work.

Its about damn time

Good luck cascade.... I think ill add that to my Sig

 

[bcshields]

I can't believe after all that the LNBF and bracket wasn't right....

can't teach logic.

This is the first time I've been happy with an install.
He replaced the cable with flood rated co-ax.
He grounded the dish properly.
He buried all the cable.
The 301 and the 522 were both tested on both lines from the SW34, it turns out the 522 is faulty and intermittently drops the signal on all 3 satellites on both inputs, Dish have sent out another 522.
Signal levels are good.
The wiring is exactly as I would have done it.

Cliff's done a truly superb job. I honestly can't say enough about this guy.

He even put terminators on the cascading ports :shocked :shocked

That is a nice job... do you get alot of freezes where you are? if so those zip ties wont last terribly long.

 

[ShadowEKU]

what the heck is that other pole to?

 

[Mr Tony]

probably his FTA system

 

[ShadowEKU]

probably his FTA system

ah

 

[Cascade]

probably his FTA system

He had some cable left over so I have direct burial to my FTA dish too.

We don't really get much cold weather here but I think I'll weld that SW to the pole just to be safe
