Pain in the .....

Spent much of the weekend up and down the extension ladder and on the roof. We got a new satellite receiver for HD. Of course, there is a new dish and such to install. Did all that a couple of weekends ago. Found out on Friday that I needed to run another cable from the dish to the receiver in order to record on the DVR. So, off to buy cable, up the ladder to hook it up, over the roof and down to the hole drilled through the wall. Hooked it up to the receiver, which has two inputs and nothing. Still not recording although getting the signal and channels fine.

Yesterday, back up the ladder to the roof, change the connection outside and in. Move the new cable to the primary input and no signal. So, I either broke the coax somewhere when I was tacking it down or something. Now, time to get a new coax. Which means back up the ladder, hook it up and run it through the door just to test it. Then if that is okay, remove the other new one and run this one up and over and through the wall.

Hopefully this all works eventually. Curling season on TV starts soon and want to be able to record that as well as other stuff.

Later,
JH

Notice any snow angels while you were up there?
