Re: 2 AC inputs, 1 AC output

geesh, all this time I thought the UPS (uninteruptable power supply)meant you ran off the inverter?

I switched to ATT cable, lasted 4 months. they raised the rates again and the service was lousy with the volume going up and down all the time... so back to Dishnet, almost a 50% price difference for the same channel...

Re: Schematic

Satelite receivers

Edd, I opened the DishNet 4700 receiver and unfortunately there are no batteries on the board? This receiver and my other DishNet 5000 won't upgrade or download information from the satelite very fast, in fact, you have time to go make popcorn and get a pop before it comes back to you with the info ...

Re: Looking for satellite receiver schematic

Dish told me to shut them off and leave them over night and they would auto upgrade.. not... I've had them in storage for 2 years.. do I need to replace something to...
