Hey yall, I have a BEV 6120 system, and am adding a 4100 receiver for a bedroom. Does anyone know what switch the 4100 uses? Does it have to be an SW-21 or can it be one that is easier to find locally (like the dish pro switch)? Thanks a bunch. Jessyka

I believe that my low signal strength reception of 82W is going to require a larger dish - I was thinking about a 30". Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing :) Can anyone recommend a 30" dish that receives BEV 82W signals? If not, does anyone know of any tutorials or information...

It was the switch. *phew* Finally hunted one down at a local dish network shop. The signal on 82 is pretty weak though... averaging around 50. I believe that is because, looking at a map with 82's footprint, I am right at the edge in NC. Will signal amplifiers can help increase the signal...

Thank you for taking the time to discuss this with me. I appreciate the words of wisdom. Am I supposed to use a special type of cable? I am just using regular coax cable like you would use with a cable TV outlet. Good thinking on replacing the lnb lines first - I'll try that tomorrow.

Yep. When I hook up each line, the signal goes green for the appropriate bird. This has to be somekind of switch issue. I have an 89 signal on 91, and a 55 signal on 82. I can see the preview channels on 82 so I know I am receiving signal. I looked at the LNB's... all they said was Bell...

Progress... but still not there. I have the dish pointed so that if I directly hook up the cable from 91 (no switch) I get a signal, and if I hook up the cable from 82 I get a signal without moving the dish. However, when I hook both lines into the switch, I only get 1 signal. The switch...

I have found 82 (I was pointing the plane of the dish at 82 instead of the lnb angle), so I can now see 91 and 82... but I am not sure how to see both at the same time? Is there a trick for doing this? The LNB's don't seem to have any kind of angle adjustments on them. Once you lock down on...

I have a 6100 with the eliptical dish and 2 lnb's. It is really easy to find 91W... but am not having any luck with 82W. I have checked the footprint maps, and as I am in NC, the maps show that reception should be fine. Is anyone else having trouble locating 82W? Any ideas on how to find it...

Any updates available on BEV and HD ST? Any updates available on BEV and HD ST?

StarChoice NFL ST - no HD Games Bell ExpressVu NFL ST - games ARE in HD (BEV's www pages don't mention HD for NFL ST) is this correct?

would someone mind emailing (jessi.gc@gmail.com) or pm'ing how to get in contact with TVM? Thanks a bunch. Jessi

mind sharing? Hey Iceberg, would you mind sharing the info on a good broker? Thanks. Jessi

I am still looking for a screen ... I read an article about light fusion screen techniques so I got the pieces and have been playing around with making one. What I have seen rocks as far as just sheer brightness, but I am still looking for a really good light diffusion layer. If the mad...

Hi Robert, Thanks about the z2. Love it so far. I'm experimenting with a light fusion screen right now. Results are really impressive. Don't even need to turn the lights out for this thing! I was just reading the posts here in the D* forum. Seemed like more people were bytchn and...

Woah! That's some ratings chart. Point well made! That is some ratings scale. Thanks!
