    Since when is expressing your opinion under the First Amendment to the Constution "practicing law" without a liscense. How is this guy providing me with compensation? He is acting on his own case as his own attorney. Anyone is entitled to represent himself. "pro se." Attorneys don't want you...

    You're absolutely correct. Forget everything else, you found the significant "key" to this issue. Everything else is "BS." Don't let anyone tell you that the case is very complicated or the sase is so unique, that you can't understand it without an attorney. You're doing just fine.

    the question is , Who appointed you as the legal expert in administrative and court procedures? For 23 years, I was appointed by the Attorney General of the United States, served as a Special Agent, administrative case adjudicator and as a "pro tempore" Administrative Law Judge. I need not...

    You need an "Ideal Sure-Test" circuit analyzer like this one. http://www.idealindustries.com/prodDetail.do?prodId=61-165 It's about $300. A lot of electricians don't have them, because of the cost. I have one, it has saved me a lot of aggravation.

    Good job, I couldn't have done better. It's hard to see how you will lose.
  6. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    What makes you think that an attorney with a fee of $250 per billable hour plus expenses can do more than what this guy is doing? He going through the proper legal procedure. the legal process takes time. The party who has the most time or can spend the most time and has the greatest...

    If I were close to you, I'd lend you an owned Dish Network receiver and dish that requires no commitment. Or, you can find a prepaid Dish Network set and install it just to irk the woman. That requires no commitment, either.

    Also, I'm sure that the local TV station would be interested in this case. That's why the recordings and the written record would be a good idea. I'm almost sure that the condo association would not welcome the publicity and the possibility that satellite dishes will pop up on the complex like...

    If you do that, you'd have to wait on the ruling by the FCC. from my experience with working for the Federal Government, I'm not sure that you'd get a ruling in 30 days. It depends on what reisks you want to take.

    Sounds exactly wat I'd expect. A "Draconian" and arrogant dictator type of attitude. I'd wait until I get their letter. If they want to discuss the matter, I would record her and put her on the record. In Florida, I believe, it's OK to make a recording, if one party gives permission. And, I...

    As opposed to "limited exclusive use," meaning for exclusive use of the condominum owner, but maintained by the association.
  12. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Jimmy, You got the simple answer. Get an SL3 or the SWM3 for $35-60 delivered from eBay, mount it and redo the guide setup, and you're done for good. DirecTV, however, won't do it for those who have their SD locals on 119. You might also miss a few SD only public service channels, though...

    It wouldn't surprise me if the local management brags to corporate on how they have a perfect record of preventing owners from putting satellite dishes up on the property. Or, if they don't have an "in house" contest to that fact.
  14. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    You'd know that the local operation is dysfunctional, when they tell you that they couldn't give you a copy of the condo rules and offered to sell them to you at a rdiculous price. More likely than not, the local management has a copy but was told by corporate that they could not give you a...
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    The neutral wire in a 220/120VAC system is NOT really neutral. To get 120 volts, it would be more appropriately called a "phase return." If the ground is not properly connected, this wire can have high voltages going through it. In the case of a DirecTV receiver, the metal case is connected...
  16. DIRECTV Connected Home
    My favorite wiring new construction for low voltage work is a wiring technique that I developed called the "open work" method. Basically, the system goes like this; Run each wire separate and straight. Do not twist tie any of the wires together inside a wall cavity. Do not staple to the studs...
  17. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    You're very welcome. I'm glad that I can help. I'd just send it to the association. It is to your advantage that the management ignores your notice. And, it all depends on how sharp and efficient the association is. So, after the 15 day have past, and you do not get a respoinse, I'd sent...
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    That would clearly be one of the symptoms of the "floating" or "bootleg" ground.
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Not if your unit has a separate service panel, and the faulty ground is in your panel or in one of your circuits.
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    A "bootleg" ground is one where someone connected the neutral wire of the receitacle to the ground wire or connected something to the ground that is not at the service panel, thus creating a diferential voltage through the neutral wire. In a floating ground, there is a voltage drop on one part...
