    What's up with Ebru?

    They have ran the same 3 episodes of Sea Patrol for at least the last 3 Saturdays. Has anyone else noticed repeats of other programs? Visited their website a couple times lately and it was the same both times and not on schedule with what was on TV.

    VA Mux gone?

    Is the VA mux gone from 123° W? The last couple times I have tried blind scanning, I get Daystar, the UW channels, Scopus and signal for KBS, but nothing VA. Anyone else having this problem?

    DishDirectOne

    All excited today when UPS delivered the 211k I ordered on Amazon and fulfilled by DishDirectOne. I thought the box was big for a 211K but when I opened it up, it was a big gray 211. :rant:Started to unwrap it only to discover the left front cover was broken. :rant: I have put in a return...

    Welcome Pack with 2 Receivers?

    I currently have the Welcome Pack with an owned 211 receiver. With the upcoming demise of the wife's SkyAngel I am wondering if I can just add another purchased 211 for her (with the Heartland package for the channels she is losing) and run it off the other line off the lnb? And does it cost...

    Printing Dilemma!

    I have been trying to print multiples copies of a one page newsletter for my business clients from my Compaq laptop with Win7 Home edition. I created the document with LibreOffice, saved it as a .doc file, but can only get the printer - an HP 1320 LaserJet - to print one copy at a time! I also...

    Site Blocked?

    Has anyone else had the Glorystar site blocked by their antivirus program? If I click the Glorystar link above, or if I go the the SatAV link above and then click the "Contact Us" link the same thing happens. Attached is a screenshot of what happens. It seems to indicate that the various jpg's...

    OTA and Cable Through Same Coax?

    This question has probably been asked before. Got a new digital TV for Christmas, just out of curiosity one day hooked the cable internet line to it and scanned in 46 QAM channels. My OTA and internet lines are right next to each other in the cellar and if I want to watch the local cable news...

    GEOSATpro My Thoughts on the MicroHD

    I got a MicroHD last summer, but have just gotten to really appreciate it in the past 3-4 weeks. It was slaved out of the Visionsat for quite a while as I didn't have time try it with the motor. Got that done a couple weeks before Christmas and was amazed at how easy the switch was. Then on...

    GEOSATpro KTV2 Issue

    Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue with the MicroHD. When I try to watch KTV2, the picture goes black and white and starts flipping like the vertical hold is out of sync. Haven't found any other channels that do this. I did a software upgrade last night via satellite, but still...

    New to Dish, Set up Question

    Finally got around to hooking up a 211K and Dish 500 and got my Welcome Pack account activated. I first tried to hook to a Diseqc switch on my FTA system and loop out of my FTA receiver to the 211, but could not get signal. I know I was properly aligned as I had both 119 and 110 on the FTA...

    What Do I Need?

    Having lost the History channel on FTA, I am considering the Dish Welcome Pack. I want to have my own equipment so I'm not tied to a contract. I understand I need at least a 311 receiver and preferably a 211 for the HD locals and recording. What dish would I need for the Welcome Pack w/locals...

    Recording NTSC OTA on Visionsat IV200?

    Has anyone used their Visionsat to record analog OTA signals using the PVR function? I haven't ever tried running the OTA through the antenna input on it. I would like to try it this week as there are things on Canadian TV I would like to record.

    LNB Suggestions

    Friday night I lost signal on my FTA setup. (See signature below). Yesterday was busy so I only had a chance to bypass the Diseqc switch which did nothing. Then I tried the reset button on the motor as I was getting the flashing red indicator light. That did nothing either and by then it was...

    Wireless Router Issue

    Some time ago I got one of these -SMC Networks - SMCWBR14S-N4 Barricade so I could have wireless in the house. I set it up as a secured network to keep creeps off and it has worked flawlessly until a couple days ago when the power went out for a few minutes during a storm. It was fine that night...

    XP Re-install Question

    The wife's older Compaq w/ Windows XP Pro is acting up lately. I can't find any virus or malware. It was bought used with a "clean XP install". The key used though is different than the one on the COA tag on the computer and the Windows verification thing said it was not a valid copy. I have a...

    Motor Change Questions

    I've about given up on the SG2100 and ordered a 9120 which should be here in a couple days. What will I need to do to my receiver (Mercury II ) to set up the new motor? Do I clear things out and start from scratch? I have always used Diseqc as the motor was off a few degrees with USALS, which...

    Motor Madness!

    :rant: Turned on the MercuryII yesterday and came up with "No Signal" on 97°W. I went to the back of the house to look out the window and the dish looked like it was pointed toward 123°. So I decided to try moving it, selected 101°, it moved a little like it should, but it was still nowhere...
