    Change in Glorystar Install Instructions

    I helped someone set up a new Glorystar system today who seemed to be following all the instructions, had tried to point the dish for hours, but could not get the signal. It appeared the problem was that the instructions say to locate 3ABN on LNBF1 first. The receiver was programed for Channel...

    Second receiver with limited channels for AMC4???

    How does power pass through DiSEqC switch? I reread and thought about Iceberg's response. Does power pass through the DiSEqC swith to both LNBs all the time and only the signal returning change as to which LNB is used or does both power out and signal back switch? (I know these switches are...

    Second receiver with limited channels for AMC4???

    Additional info. . . Thanks Iceberg for your response. I have seen a system with a single dish and a single LNB aimed at just AMC4 providing signal to two receivers using the power passing splitter instead of a dual LNB. They still had LNB power on from both receivers. I was skeptical as to...

    Second receiver with limited channels for AMC4???

    Until Glorystar comes out with a new LNB system to allow two receivers on one dish, will this method of partial channels on a second receiver potentially damage a receiver or the DiSEqC switch? Since 3ABN, Hope, Loma Linda, Gospel Music, and Miracle are all Horizontal on AMC4 the voltage from...

    Help me decide...

    The "paid equipment" for satellite reception which 3ABN sells now is completely different from that which Dish and Sky Angel use. The "paid equipment" for satellite reception which 3 ABN sells for receiving their channel is the same type of receiver and dish which you would buy from Glorystar...

    No 3ABN on the Sky Angel IPTV lineup ???

    3 Angels Broadcasting Network was one of the original Sky Angel Channels and until the transponder failed that they were on, it seemed they were still a significant part of the Sky Angel lineup. I, as well as others I know, first signed on to Sky Angel to receive 3ABN when 3ABN went from their...
