    Just because something works ( or has for 2 years ) doesnt make it a good idea... If your runs are short and you have plenty of Db to start out with it will work fine. Say that in a tech meeting and the service techs will be rewiring and replacing splitters for the next 2 weeks on repeat svc...

    The official spec is 150# of concrete. You must get below the frost line in your area. In most cases 36" deep will be good. If you get deep enough and have enough concrete the mono poles will never be needed.

    The word down the line is that sometime in october ALL new HD customers ( without 72.5 or international or more than 8 tuners ) will be getting swm. Could be wrong but thats whats been said by Dtv to our warehouse ordering people.

    Have them hit a stud this time.

    Just like superfan for the sunday ticket. lol We charge $99 as mandated by Dtv. Its right in the HSP contract.

    Basically none. All you really have to wory about is voltage drop. With too much voltage drop the LNB or switch wont be able to switch between even and odd's properly. Your length's are not out of line. I am running around 300-350ft between my dish and 6x8 then another 25-30 to the reciever and...

    On your next call just ask the csr and they will openly tell you basically what has allready been posted in this thread. It has everything to do with how long youve been a customer, how youve paid, how many freebies youve recieved etc...

    I think the only crapshoot is what call center your call gets routed to. Some of these centers are actually owned by Dtv and staffed by Dtv employees. The other centers are contracted out. As a tech it doesnt usually take long to figure out who youre talking to. Techs talk to these people every...

    The HSP's are required to but the subs and mom and pops usually dont.
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Your Power company wants to work on your Gas meter ????? Now thats service. lol
  12. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    That is the swm lnb. It really depends on your current equipmant and wiring needs for a retrofit situation.

    99 AND 103 Use a digital signal sent from the IRD
  14. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Dont forget to get the power inserter and splitter as well. Dont be suprised if the tech hasnt even seen one yet when he gets there.

    A 1 box Primestar paid $140.
  16. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    As long as youre willing to give them $ every month they will be willing to take said $ from you. lol

    Its right in the HSP contract. EVERY install MUST be grounded to NEC and local code. Any QC done by DTV will get a flagrant fail if the system is not grounded properly. It is up to the techs to make sure the wires pass close enough to get a proper ground.
  18. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    I understand wanting it grounded properly. I read your other thread and your dish is NOT bieng blocked by your roof. If you just want it moved say so. There is no good reason to move your dish at least on a functionality basis.
  19. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Cause they are busy enough dealing with the hsp's etc.. They dont talk to customers. They have csr's for that. lol
  20. DIRECTV Installation/MDU Discussion
    Work order integrity is nothing new . They have been around forever. Thay can be contacted just not on the phone. The HSP or DTV has to submit any changes via e-mail and they are usually pretty dang fast about it. Sometimes not but the norm is pretty quick. They are a department of DTV and not...
