Professional Installers out there....I'm Desperate for Help

[Tlewis]

I would check polarity of elect. system ground may be powered. I have seen some very strange things. usually even or odd transponders is a cable or fitting issue but can be receiver or dish switch problem. Also rg59 is will not work if anywhere in system.

This thread is over a month old, and it was the receiver that needed to be reset.

Anyway, I use RG59 all the time for D* installs, and have NEVER had a rpoblem in 6 years. I prefer to use RG6, but if the house is prewired, and it works, it works. Can't get away with it with E* equipment.

This was such good reading I think a movie could be made. I enjoyed. BTW I live in Maine too.

Not only is this completely irresponsible, it's also against DTV guidelines. You've probably never had a problem because it ends up at an HSP and they have to clean up after you.

With a signal loss of about 14db/100', you should seriously rethink your policy.
I'd tighten up on your phone line installs too.

Bill, you are one patient guy. I would have gone postal on somebody.
