  • Server Issues.

    We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.

    We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.

    If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.

    We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.

    Sorry for the issue!

The best way to install it is,

1. Run a Line with a ground Messenger from the Dish to a Ground Block that can be bonded to the homes electrical system.
2. Run a line to your in-Home lines
3. Plug in up to 8 Tuners (2 tuners taken up for DVR's) to teh 1x8 Splitter
4. Pick a location near a tuner to power the system
5. Make sure that location is on the Power pass port on the Splitter (Voltage meter or Cable Line Toner)
6. Get all of your Receivers ready minus the power.
7. Plug a jumper from your "Power" Receiver into the Power Inserter marked IRD
8. Plug the main Cable from the Power Pass Port into the Power Inserter marked LNB
9. Power up that 1 Receiver ad verify SWM settings are working.
10. Power up the rest if #9 checks out.
 
Hello
I got it figured out yesterday and have it working, but thanks for the good info.
I just had to take a good look at the parts and I got it to work.

Thanks,

Richard
