    GEOSATpro HDVR1200 Review

    Thanks for the info, and the addendum regarding the MENU/EXIT buttons. Should save a bit of frustration. To repeat chapelrun's question: How does this HDVR1200 compare with the Micro HD MPEG4? Second question: Is the HDVR1200 backward compatable with the DVR1100? Can the files recorded by...

    Manhattan 1000 lost video, audio ok

    As title says, Manhattan 1000 lost video. Tried different tv thru both ywr rca and rf, same result. Tried different receiver, works great. (Eliminates dish adjustment and LNB as culprits, tho I don't know how the audio could be received without the video.) Question- is this a simple fix...

    Mulyiple Receivers connected to single LNBF ?

    I have understood that multiple receivers can be daisy-chained to a single LNBF by connecting LNB2 IN to LNB1 OUT, LNB3 IN to LNB2 OUT, ditto for #4 and possibly #5. Cable splitters are NOT to be used between the LNBF and receiver. Am I correct, or am I mistaken? More ??? When adding...

    Check for Functioning LNB on Manhattan 1000?

    Thanks for responding. Not a total surprise; just hoping you might know something about this that I didn't. Swapping the LNB with a known good one just for testing was something I hadn't considered, but in this case, swapping receivers would be simpler for me. I would have to remove the LNB...

    Check for Functioning LNB on Manhattan 1000?

    How do I check? At a users home, got no picture from the Manhattan 1000. Brought it home to set it up for reception from G19, and it works beautifully, 13 channels, with a single signal bar of 86. Other receivers have have two signal measures, strength and quality, strength to indicate...

    No Sgnal on Topfield TF3000Fi, ok if loop-thru

    Replaced the LNBF and cable on the Topfield at the church. Getting 13 channels, even when I set it up here at home. My Geosat pro gets 51 video channels plus radio. I would guess the 13-channel limit on the Topfield is a menu or software limit rather than hardware??? How do I get more?

    No Sgnal on Topfield TF3000Fi, ok if loop-thru

    Thanks. Connecting the Topfield to my Glorystar at home was only a debug test to determine if the receiver is working. I took my Geosat to the church yesterday, and got the "no Signal", and no signal quality and no signal strength readings, which according to the manual says the LNBF is not...

    No Sgnal on Topfield TF3000Fi, ok if loop-thru

    There is 18+ vdc on the Sat In terminal. Is it possible that the two LNBF's installed on the Glorystar dish are somehow incompatible with the Topfield receiver?

    No Sgnal on Topfield TF3000Fi, ok if loop-thru

    The Topfield gives a "No Signal" message from the dish at the church, and gives the same message when connected directly to my Glorystar dish at home. If I loop it thru the Geosatpro 1100, the picture comes thru beautifully, except for Glorystar01a and ch 14, GCN? (I don't recall the exact...

    DVR 1100 Message Do you want to update S/W

    Thanks again for the explanations. Maybe brighter days ahead. Do the simple receivers, such as Topfield and Manhattan, get/need these updates? Or their own applicable updates? We are downloading with a Manhattan for broadcast over our LPTV and I haven't noticed it shutting down. Someone has a...

    DVR 1100 Message Do you want to update S/W

    Thanks for the explanation. If it is a necessary update, why did they bother to ask? Just do it.I have a long string of failed recordings- the dvr changes channels on Monday nights, I learned. The clock is unreliable; I can compensate for that by starting 12 minutes early and ending 3...

    DVR 1100 Message Do you want to update S/W

    What is it asking? I got that instead of my scheduled recording. HIGHLY FRUSTRATING. Is there a way to block such interruptions to scheduled recordings? Many Thanks.

    ? using dvr1100c LNBF passthru to second receiver

    I am convinced that locating the G-19 dish position is easier if the receiver is "pre-tuned" to the satellite. If I bring the church's TOPFIELD home to update its settings using the GEOSAT LNBF passthrough, should I disconnect LNBF #1 at the dish? Do I need to take the coax switch out of the...

    DVR1100c self-changes Timer-Record Entry

    Thanks for the response. I ran a Factory Reset, just to be sure. The version is exactly the same as before the reset: SW: GS 03.28 (Mar 07) Data ver: 01.36 HW ver: 1:00 How do I tell that to the machine? If the recording goes by the channel name and the satellite was changed, the...

    DVR1100c self-changes Timer-Record Entry

    I had set a Timer Recording for April 20 10:00 on channel 804, Hope Church Channel, duration 5 hours. When I checked to confirm a few minutes before the recording time, the dvr was set to channel 1, understandable because of the Monday night update, but the Timer recording entry was set to...

    Can DVR1100 be safely connected to 3ABN Dish?

    tag425, yes, I'm in Washington, Clarkston, about as far from Olympia as I can get and still stay in the state. Sympathies. Two of us tried, a couple of times each alone, twice together. When I took my pre-tuned Glorystar receiver and set it and the tv at the dish instead of watching the tv...

    Yep, pay attention to the stickies! I found my working external hdd on eBay. It was new, but apparently outdated; I couldn't locate one on my web searches.

    Can DVR1100 be safely connected to 3ABN Dish?

    G-19 located! Thank God and Hallelujah! The only thing different today, that I recognise, is that I set the receiver and tv out at the dish instead of inside the building watching the tv thru a window. Took only a minute or two moving the dish a fraction horizontally. After peaking TBN...

    Can DVR1100 be safely connected to 3ABN Dish?

    Thanks. The tv has been visible thru a window; the cable ran from the dish into the building to the receiver, and we moved the tv to in front of the window. And No, no reset on the GEOSAT; it has already been updated by Glorystar, and is in use at home. I just want to use it to find the...

    Can DVR1100 be safely connected to 3ABN Dish?

    Thanks rv1pop for the offer. I don't think we're located that close; Clarkston, that's 100 road miles east of Walla Walla. I've tried twice with another fellow who has installed several of the 3ABN systems; I tried once alone using the GEOSATpro from my Glorystar system, and he tried once...

    Can DVR1100 be safely connected to 3ABN Dish?

    Many THANKS for explaining some of these contraptions, like channel 102 "Coming Program" signal not coming from a satellite, or Quality reading without a picture is not positive confirmation of satellite or even a fuctional LNBF. Or channel 101 quality AND TBN IS confirmation of the G19...
