Occam's Razor -- Re: [RVInternetBySatellite] Epilogue: DW7000 broke

 

I must say that as technically and technologically oriented as I have been all my life (including 24 years in the Army Signal Corps, ham radio operator since 1961 and now 5 1/2 years with HughesNet [nee Direcway]), I had never considered hitting my LNB with a hammer. I've always dug out one of my VOM meters, gone through all the troubleshooting software, spent hours on the phone with English-as-a-second-language tech support people, swapped out parts, yadda. I think I shall now reconsider my troubleshooting and repair techniques to include a hammer near the top of my list of HN tools. Occam's Razor: often the simplest solution is the best solution.
