It seemed to work OK for the first 5 days, but now it won't let me record, On the screen there is a message that the guide is 95% updated, after many hours, when it didn't go to 100%, I unplugged the receiver and waited to morning, After an hour after start up it still shows 95%. Does any one know why this could be happening ? I assume this is the reason I can't record.I also have a problem with the sling feature, My android tablet is able to receive the dish programming, but I can only open the OTA and local channels in my area on dish, can"t open USA, etc. When I try the screen on the tablet reads "scanning for channel. I am receiving these channels through my Hopper on my tv. I have rebooted my Modem/WIfi but no change.

Thanks for any advice anyone can provide. ]]> The Hopper Zone jerryd http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/311965-hopper-with-sling-record-problem IV - EP - The 1975 http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/311964-IV-EP-The-1975?goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 15:00:02 GMT

To start, I have a 7.5 ft mesh dish, polar mouint, X2 premium HD receiver and a actuator hooked to a VBOX positioner.
Im in upstate NY so.... Latitude: 42.67° Longitude: -74.35°
I would think that 75W BRASILSAT B3 | GOES 13 | STAR ONE C3 is my true south SAT.


I did lots of reading about setting up my dish and how to determine true south, etc.
Everything I read seems to say that true south is not the same as magnetic and that you align your dish mount using true south during the installation phase.


So, I set the actuator for 0 degrees and have the dish pointed straight on with the mount. I set my declination at the proper offset (6.5 if I remember right). Here's where I have some confusion. Dishpointer says my true south elevation is 40.7 at true South and that my true South is at 193 degrees. So, I pointed the dish at 193 and set the elevation for 40.7 My problem is that I cant get any SATs in the top middle of the arc. I tried lowering and raising the dish a VERY LITTLE at a time and rescanning across the top but i get nothing.


Is it possible to have the LNB focal length off and still get some sats at good quality. When I installed the LNB, I sort of guessed on the length and adjusted on a locked in SAT to the highest level I could get. Maybe I shouldnt have dont that. I wonder if I could have been off on my aiming and tuning the LNB to that threw everything else off. Is that even possible? Seems like it could be. Another issue Im having is that the SATs closest to true south for me dont seem to have reliable active transponders that Im sure exist. So, when I brought the TV out to find a signal, I had a hard time deciding which TP to try and lock down. I appreciate any advice.

I am looking to put an OTA antenna up on my house but unsure which antenna to buy. My TVFool report is the following

hxxp://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d1dda52c93075f3

I have tried an RCA ANT1600R, it worked in the windows receiving 19 channels (x.1 to x.6 on occasional channels) away from the windows roughly 6-8 channels. The report is a bit misleading as per tests with the RCA antenna, I receive channel 4.1. I realize that I would need an VHF lo/VHF hi/UHF antenna most likely.

Would an outdoor omni-directional be in my best interest?
