The installer zone appears to have a strict rule that one must be an installer. Well I'm not an installer; I'm acquiring information about being an installer. Could an admin or mod grant me permission giving my situation?

So on an average, about how long does it take to install a typical one room setup?

Could you please elaborate a little more as to why you believe they are not good choices?

First off, I currently work as a Traffic Control Technician for a city in louisiana. I'm unhappy with pay and I'm thinking of giving installing satellite systems a shot. After graduating from electronics school, I never seriously considered this type of work. You know, being subjected to all...

Finally, waaaahooooo:clap I got channels on 7 transponders, my signal strength is 43 and quality is 45:clap I used the compass like you guys stated, but you were confusing me with the statement "point at the azimuth" meaning exact location, when all the compass is need for is a general...

So Now I know to concentrate on tuning the dvb card to either 61.5, 105, 110, 121, 129, and 148. Now remember, at this point its not important whether I can view the channels; I just want to tune the card to one of the compatible satellites. Now question on pointing the dish. I have this signal...

That still assumes a lot. Does the level lay on the ground? Do you hold the level and compass in your hand? After you find 107 with the level and compass how does that relate to pointing the dish? Maybe the "level" I'm thinking of is not what you are referring to. Remember, I've never seen this...

Now I asked about skew in my very first post; it would have been nice to know that I don't have to bother with skew given that my Phase III LNBs are circular and therefore don't need skew adjusting. I've been googling, yahooing, and searching the forum for information on setting skew when it...

OK back to pointing the dish, remember I didn't mount the dish so I don't know what was used as a measuring point. Let me explain in noob terms. Lets say two people live next door to one another and (Hypothetically) one person has his dish mounted on a 200ft pole and the other person has his...

OOOOOH! So The box is not telling me to move the dish three degrees in relation to the location of the satellite, but when I move the dish, move it in 3 degree increments. So what about the beep? How do I know if I'm getting closer to the satellite? Thanx for clearing that up Larry:up You must...

I have a directv box and dish, so they should be able to receive a signal from a directv satellite right? If the dish is aimed at the directv satellite with a strong signal, I should get some type of tone or beep, right? Now would that tone/beep be continuous (beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep) or would...

Found something interesting. A classmate of mine let me hold his RCA DRD222RD so I could use the signal meter function of the box. When I connected the box to my tv and proceeded to the signal meter, after entering my zip code, my coordinates were 188w elevation 50. At the signal strength screen...

Well it looks like I'm gonna have to do a little troubleshooting to see where my problem is. Within MT I get 0% signal strength and quality, but within the software that came with the card it shows signal strength is 14-18% and quality is 32%. When I disconnect the coax from the card, signal...

Before I begin with more questions, let me so thanks to you Iceberg:) Often times noobs like myself get so caught up in fixing their problem, we tend to forget to give thanks to those whom take the time to answer our questions:up Well I've moved the dish in every direction possible so I doubt...

Well I would like to just get one channel just to let me know that I'm doing something correctly. I really would like to know if the problem is human error, the trees, or the weather. I have a compass but I'm not entirely sure using it to locate a satellite or just any satellite (Echostar 3...

I know most people don't particularly care for noobs who don't try to help themselves before asking noobish questions that may have been covered in other threads, but I'm really trying. I am really at a loss here. I can't get any results and I have no clue as to why that is. I've searched the...
