    Remote Question

    yeah RCA actually manufactured the Dish 34 and 40 CRTs. there is an option in the Dish CRTs to pick which input the TV goes to when you press the mode buttons. It is under the Autotuning feature like kresston said. or you could just remember to cover up the ir blaster on the remote everytime you...

    splitting after receiver

    the attenuator won't be as much help as just moving the cable to a better spot. you could also try grounding the shield in your coax cable, that might take care of it as well

    811 Question

    811 Yeah 811s are notorious for being difficult taking initial downloads... first of all if you are running it through a 34 switch, dp21, or dpp44, it will may not initiate a download. If this is the case, clear your switch matrix, (unplug sat in, run test) and power the box off and you...

    2 Receivers-Different Signal Srength

    Also, are you checking the signal strengths using the same piece of cable? If you are using them in seperate rooms, a longer cable, or lesser quality can cause that kind of signal reduction.

    Loss of Satellite 110 - interpreting diagnostic screens

    Yes I can't stress how important it is to run a switch test like sattech said. You'll want run the switch test right after moving it. It is very possible you were just picking it up on the wrong side of the lnb. 110 will say wrong satellite until you have it in the switch matrix.

    Buying a 522 outright?

    Actually, I find it very doubtful Dish agreed to activate a 522 for you. They are only leased at the moment. The only people I've heard of getting 522s activated, bought them when they first came out, and had to fight with the exec offices of DN to get them added to their accounts. And i've also...

    Loss of Satellite 110 - interpreting diagnostic screens

    Well, i'd start by standing behind the dish and turning it 1 smidge (maybe 1/8th inch) to the left (which if you are pointing south left should be east). If your 119 signal goes up to an acceptable strength, rerun the switch test and see if 110 is listed. If not, I would try bringing it a...

    Loss of Satellite 110 - interpreting diagnostic screens

    Actuallly, due to your low signal strength on 119, I'm leaning a little more toward your dish being out of alignment. Did you have any high winds during the rain? Also, when you run the switch test, is it resulting with 119 119 x x, or is x x 119 119? This might help us determine which way the...

    4 day customer, already had to fight with CSR to change receivers

    No they would not have given it to you for free if you had threatened to cancel. The contract clearly states a three day grace period after the install. You asked the installer to change your work order to a 510 and then signed off on it. After three days it's your problem, and Dish was doing...
