For Christmas my children decided to give us dish tv. Now that sounds easy enough, we filled out paperwork online got verified made an appt for installation. Well in this family nothing is ever easy!! He came at 12:30 to do 4 rooms, he was still here at 5.
The two rooms downstairs went fairly easy but upstairs was a nitemare. We live in a 90 yr old farmhouse and although the wiring has been updated apparently not good enough. The first receiver he installed upstairs threw sparks and shocked him. I guess that was a first for him.
He went and got another receiver plugged it in and it didn't work on that outlet so we had to move furniture to get to an outlet he could use. After several trips up and down he had it working but the dish itself isn't grounded and after he left we discovered the upstairs receiver gets hot and tvs don't work.
So now I have the two upstairs tvs not working and no idea what to do, when I called about it he told me to get an electrician. So our gift may turn out to cost us alot more than dish tv is worth.
