4 lines from your dish in to the satellite in ports then 1 line out of SWM 1 and SWM 2 ports with a power inserter (PI29) in the dc in port OR you can go through 1 of the SWM splitters. There, simple as that
That sounds easy enough, wonder what the big deal was for the tech that digiblur had? Never did catch that part.

I'm assuming he's prolly never installed 1 or seen 1. But it's hard telling, some contractors hire anybody and then it makes the techs look stupid but they don't know what they're doing because they never got proper training
How should it be mounted? The side without the cables should probably face upright correct?
no switch should EVER be mounted with any connection upward. I only pointed it out because it honestly looks like none of the caps look like they have been tightened to ensure a good seal.
Hmm...How did you manage that. I'm getting 2 H25's and 1 HMC this Saturday. I would love to trade in a H25 for a HR24 with no upgrade fee.
I will flip it around tomorrow. That thing gets warmer than I thought. No way would I put that in an attic in the south.

The wife managed it after the initial installer made me do some patch work on the wall since he mounted the dish in the wrong spot. Even after I told him that spot was too high. The offered her a free dvr upgrade.
Nice! I doubt i'll get that unlucky. But, you never know! Maybe i can complain about the HMC missing recordings.
NO ! I didn't but I have been a little under the influence and enjoying myself after a verrrrrrry long day. thanks for pointing it out.
That's what makes it "Classy" ... But I do have a question for you... What does family guy have to do with it?
Install was done today. Gonna take a bit to get used too, after nearly eight yrs. with Dish. But, im sure i'll manage. Also, got a HR24 thrown in for free, instead of the second H25. I can't believe how small the H25 is. It's tiny!!!! Now i guess the question is? Should i update the HR34 or wait?

Awesome. It tooks us a day to get used to things. No biggie. I love all the new features it has brought us. I looked at the Hopper Joey setup Dish had but the cost and the tuner setup just didn't fit me. I don't see how it really fits anyone unless you were single.
Yes! Upgrade the HR34. I upgraded last night on my HR34, HR24 and both H25s. Working great so far.
I was worried about the rainfade issue with Ka band. It was pouring rain and the my Ka signal only dropped from 96 points to 86 to 87. Never missed a beat..
Yeah, the guides really ugly on the HR34. Although, my wife seems to be having no trouble with it. She's recording and watching the on demand stuff. I've been in the bedroom trying to get the hr24 to act like a Dish VIP.
Got it pretty close now. But, anyways how exactly do you update the HR34 to CE. I still got time to do it tonight, Correct?- Status
