    here is another option, dont know what u are looking to spend but sounds like either way either burying cable or something, but u could also ask the installer how much he would charge to just put u a separate dish at ur shack and put the 23 ( or hey it is a man shack even put ur dvr out there (...

    xmguy myself and a few others here are trying to figure out what you think is so horrible and out of code and unsafe you think is wrong here. ( First off let me start off by saying im not taking up for the installer, as yes I do see this as a very sloppy job it could have been done to look a...

    I could be wrong but didn the op say they would be "fishing" the cable. If that being the case, that 200 dollar charge could be for the custom wall fish charge which is not covered by the protection plan, If that being the case then the installer should have said it this way instead of the way...

    I was going to say before seeing your resolved post that it sounded like it was either a bad lnb, or that some of your cables was rg59. But more than likely a bad lnb.

    am i reading your post right? you are using a modified dish network dish, with your sl3? Myself I would start by getting a proper slimline dish dish, then we get can a little more info from you and give you some options, what receivers are you going to be using, how many? example, if receivers...

    I would go ahead and run 2 dual coax with messenger ( ground ) from dish location ( 4 lines total ) to home run panel. Make sure there is a coax available close to your internet modem/router ( or at least a way for the tech to be able to use ethernet from modem back to home run closet ) . Make...

    exactly VOS, if would have followed direction and have answered from my first post would have told us whether the internet was connected (wifi or hardwired to genie) and if it wasnt would have brought us to our next answer of asking if there was a hardwired ethernet available at the genie...

    also want to add, i see you have 2 hr 22, did the tech put on receiver decas on these receivers. it should look something like this http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=dca2sr0&d=directv-deca-receiver-ii-ethernet-to-coax-adapter-deca2--%28dca2sr0%29 connected from the coax in swm port on...

    on your remote on the new genie press the dash button to see if it says internet connected. If so all you should have to do is goto your other receivers and repeat network setup, ( you might have to restore defaults and then reset the receivers ) The hr 44 has a built in wifi deca, so the tech...

    Does Dish allow grounding to the HVAC unit breaker? You do know if lighting hits it, it stands a good chance at blowing the whole HVAC unit. I know technically that is supposed to be grounded, but the lighting and the surge still stands a very good chance at going through the HVAC unit,

    also note that this was a new home construction, with the 4 rooms pre-wired, and that is the place the builders had it coming out of the house.
