I've done the survey; thanks for posting this!

GDMX - Yeah, I always delete those right away. Thanks Cham ! No 3811H on your 7.5 - that's discouraging !

Good suggestion; but, no, I don't have one. I've always just used STB firmware for setup. Do Mpeg-4 channels tend to require dishes larger than 6ft for c-band? Mpeg-2 HD seems to be OK on 99W w/ 6ft for me.

Thanks for your reply. So Thanks for the suggestion mr3p, but my WSI has been peaked to the max! Any further micro-adjustment at this point will only degrade the signals that I now receive. Cable is brand new and good quality, w/ new lnb to replace its sundried predecessor. I've tried with a...

Hi everyone. After a long pause (about 2 years?) I've set up my 6ft stationary dish to bring in channels on 99W again. My earlier receiver was hit by a power surge during a storm, and I only replaced it recently with a Freesat V7, which is functional but has its quirks. I can get 3720H and 4000H...

Really, I don't know why you guys are making fun of the Openbox X666. From what I hear it will have many great new features, including a smartphone-inspired flip and rotate function allowing users to automatically convert it into a model 999X merely by turning it over.

I cut out a round from a plastic lid and put glue around the edge for a watertight fit.

Sorry I can't help you out there, Brian, but I won't be purchasing from any company that reserves the right to refuse the sale of a product based on race, creed, sexual orientation or expert knowledge of satellite products. They can certainly ask you why you wanted to order their product, but it...

The focal depth on my brand new WS9036 was about a half an inch off (that was a couple of years ago), so I just bent the support arms slightly and that solved the problem. There were no "extra holes" to make an adjustment. If I'm not mistaken, the dealer website galaxy has since then corrected...

This is my first time to post images - hope they turn out ok. (By the way, if you look closely at the support arms you will see that I bent them slightly to correct a minor error in the focal depth when I received the dish a couple of years ago. The focal depth for Anik F1R and F2 does not...

I took about an hour to adjust the dish and lnbfs and managed to improve the signal quality a bit. Not much has changed on F2 (a few decimals or one or two percent here and there), but F1R is now better. Here are a few of the indicative numbers: ch2 96%/8.2 ch9 94%/7.4 ch39 92%/7.0 ... ch70...

Here is an update w/ numbers. one WSI 90-99cm dish two standard JSC321S lnbfs, 22k switch clear weather ch#: signal/ Ecb ch002: 95%/8.0 -- ch009: 75%/3.6 -- ch023: 90%/6.7 -- ch039: 80%/4.6 -- ch041: 95%/8.0 -- ch042: 95%/7.6 -- ch043: 62%/5.1 -- ch045: 95%/7.7 -- ch046: 82%/5.0 -- ch047...

The problem has been solved with the expert help of friendly SatelliteGuys, who in the course of 2 weeks have taught me more than I care to know about Shaw Direct. Thanks again Catamount, Frenchophile, Iceberg, Jim, Josuals, Peano, QCK and Stecle. Am I forgetting anyone? As everyone suspected...

Thanks again to everyone for your ideas, help, encouragement. I think (I hope?) that the issue will be resolved very shortly. I'll provide a FULL update and report when that happens.

Catamount, line F reads 4323. Thanks everybody. I fully understand the argument that if I have good signal quality on both lnbf's already, then 2 dishes will not help. That's what prompted me to begin the post. However, I told my Canadian broker that I had good signal on both and the categoric...

The gremlins came last night. Channel 299: 0% (red light); target version 06.22 - forced download fails; Advanced channel lineup w/ only Channels "710" Travel & Escape and "758" TAC The Accessible Channel. Travel & Escape: 98%, Ecb 9.6 TAC: 98%; Ecb 9.8 Channel 9 Know @ 0% (red light)...

Joshuals, I'm not mapped to the advanced lineup yet. When the nightime download occurs, then I have 2 things: (a) the advanced line-up, and (b) problems. The problems that I have with 2 lnbfs after the download: F2 channels ONLY; F1R channels gone; no way to update to 06.22. The problems that...

Thanks for the info, Joshuals. I'm at work now, but if I remember correctly, channel 730 is French RDI. It's the only or one of the only 700 channels that come in during the first 24hrs (classic lineup). After the overnight download, channels below 200 appear (advanced channel lineup). -- So...

Thanks again, everyone. It helps to have suggestions to cover all of the bases. I'm still waiting for the metamorphasis, Joshuals - nothing downloaded last night, so the target version is still 00.00. Frenchophile, I'll see what Knowledge BC and CTV AB are up to after the download occurs...

Thanks Catamount, I've already gone back to the most basic setup and I'm pretty sure that the dish is pointed at F1R right now. If I remember correctlly, the FTA transponders that you suggested are located on F2, not F1R. If I felt that I needed to reorient the dish, I could go to Iceberg's list...

Ok guys, I'm still very very very confused - thanks for your continued patience with me. Right now I'm going to discuss my attempt to install my Shaw 600 HD w/ 1 standard linear 11.7-12.2 lnbf and no 22k switch. I have just installed the temporary F6 replacement cable - so all equipment except...

Thanks again guys. However, I only receive Travel & Escape and one other channel. If I'm not mistaken, Travel & Escape is only available on F1R, not F2. (I'll see if I can find the name of the other channel, but I'm betting that it, too, is only on F1R). Since then I've done the following...

I took care of the computer virus (XP Security 2012) on my desktop computer rather quickly yesterday. It wasn't the major undertaking that I dreaded. One that I had about 5 years ago took me 3 days to get rid of. This one took about 3 hours. And I vacuumed and mopped the entire house. Oh, and I...

Thanks everybody. Everything you've said makes good sense. I'm sure this will get solved one way or another. It will take me a couple of days before I have anything new to report, though - each factory reset has a very long cycle. I've never posted pictures to a forum before and my camera is at...

Lot's of good suggestions, here. Thanks; it looks like I'll be busy f'or a while. Joshuals, it looks like I've been getting more sleep than you do ! Regarding the spacing between lnbs: the first pair was old and the plastic was gone from one of them; that gave me a little extra wiggle room...
