A center channel that matches the front left and right is an added plus for the front soundstage. While I"ve done different testing of 2 vs 3, the added speaker should make a difference. Philip Hamm is correct and if you notice, his center channel is not on it's side or a "special" center. If...
I have a Hughes HIRD-E1 Silver Edition receiver w/ remote , card,LNB and dish. I do not have the original box or all the cables. Unit and LNB does work. Asking $100.00 plus shipping. Carl
The other thing you can add on is a MPEG-2 free to air receiver in addition to the 4DTV. I currently get about 250 free feeds, with C and Ku as well as DBS. These are perfectly legal and can ad a bit more fun to the satellite channel search. If you look carefully around your area, you will...
Joseph,
I went to my local RS and they didn't show it to be on special nor did they have one in stock. So, I show the guy the HTF and pointed out that it was a nation wide sale ,as other were able to get it at a sale price. He called about this and fowarded the site to his rep and said he...
John,
Could be a bad multi switch. The more splits you have in a multi swith the more loss you get. If I were you, I would run a direct line from the LNBF to the receiver to see weather or not it make a difference.

Howard,
You mention that you will be getting a 7.1 processor, and with that in mind that is what it should be. I would guess that the speakers hookup should be as follow:
front left, front center,front right, left surround,right surround, left rear, right rear, sub out.
As for a...
Finn,
Welcome to the forum.
I'm not sure if you want cloth or metal, but if you go to www.mcmelectronics.com they list cloth for speakers. If it's metal you want, then I would look up in the phone book for sheet metal and and metal mesh. You need to see the different sizes and...
Alex,
If the dish is available for "free" and it has a cable and LNB at the end, you should be able to use it. Their is NOTHING really special about the dishes except the DBS feedhorns might be from different companies. If everything is in tack, I would get another receiver or even a mpeg...
John,
The outside piece you are refering to is a ground connector. It should have 2 screw hole to mount to something as as well as a hole for a #4 copper ground wire. The copper wire should go to a ground rod or if the dish cable is near an outside electrical panel box it could be grounded...
John,
I would suggest to do some more basic trouble shooting. Since you believe to have isolated the problem to the receiver side,specifically the coax, then I suggest you try the receiver on a different outlet on a different circuit. You might also want to replace the the audio...
If you soil isn't too bad then you can get a post pounder for driving that rod in . A post pounder is what is used to drive 6 or 8ft fence post and is nothing more than a hollow steel pipe ,about 28 inches tall,with a handle on each side and a welded plate on top. I prefer one of these instead...

Ron,
Thats a real bummer. I would suspect that the lightening or static came in through the coax on the dish.Not unless it hit a power line . Lightening takes the shortest path to ground.
My dish got hit at 2 different times and luckily I had a Panamax surge and coax protector on the...
