    H20-600 PARTIAL RECALL BY DTV

    I received my H21 today. I pulled the access card out of the old H20 and it was dark brown on the end like it got really hot. I thought that was strange. I didn't have any issues that I was aware of but a CSR informed me I needed a new unit on Friday.

    Long cable run from dish

    I was going to connect the amp about halfway, right where the dish is now and then finish the run. This weekend I am going to measure it all out and see exactly how far it is. As far as burying the cable, I have fenceline that I can attach the cable to. If it all works then I will consider...

    Long cable run from dish

    I am going to try to pole mount it and make the run without the amp. DirecTV's sub contractors keep finding excuses why they cannot do it and not one has offered to try to do anything. Now they want to charge me $80 for a service call to tell me they can't make it work. Has anyone used an...

    Long cable run from dish

    Good question. I am being stupid. That's what I get for posting on more than one forum at a time! :rolleyes: I feel it will still be roughly 200 feet. FWIW. Thanks for catching my goof.

    Long cable run from dish

    The open field with direct line of sight is 50ft. from where the dish is now. Do many of you have your dish at your receiver? :) 50 out and back is an extra 100 feet. Plus the distance it is now gives the total.

    Long cable run from dish

    I have a spool in my basement but don't remeber what it is. I wired my house with it when I had an addition done three years ago. If I can buy a better cable then I will. There will be approx. 200-225 feet from dish to switch and then it has to go to the receivers. I was looking at what is...

    Do you know what cable DirecTv uses? I assume it is on the jacketing of the cable? Thanks for the info. :D

    Long cable run from dish

    Hello all, I can no longer receive most of my HD channels since the move to the 99 sat. DirectTV is either unwilling or incapable of moving my dish to get a proper signal. It has been over two years since I have been able to see local channels in HD. They want me to cut down a 70+ foot Oak...
