I'm having to replace my satellite receiver and there are multiple hookup changes required. Does anyone know of a reliable service center in the Austin, Texas or Phoenix, Arizona area?

Jerry,
Find some sticky labels. Pull ONE wire off the back of the satellite receiver. Label it. Pull the next wire off and label it. Do that to each wire.

Most likely what you will find is one antenna lead going into the satellite receiver, unless you have a dual tuner, then you could have two. One output going to the television. This could either be the RF, HDMI, or RGB output. RF will be the same type cable as that which is going into the satellite antenna input. The HDMI will be a cable with an elongated flat connector on the end. The RGB will be an RCA Phono plug input and the cables may even be color coded Red, Green, Blue. HDMI does not require an audio cable in most instances, but if it is RF or RGB there will be a Red and White audio cable coming out of the back of the Satellite. This would go to the tv audio input.

There are a bunch of people on this forum that can talk you through that set up. Then you can spend the money that it would cost for an "expert" on the wife.

Keep in mind that for one output you are going to have an input cable, and for one input you will have one output cable.

You are not going to break anything.
