Hi Folks, long time no see. It's been a while since I started a thread, I hope it's not trouble to post this here. Maybe somebody out there in Satelliteguys-Land might find this item to be desirable? I just put a new Blu-Ray player into my setup, and pulled out a bunch of dust collectors...

Hi Lak7, Thanks much for helping out! Been busy in the basement since requesting help, and I'm just now sitting down for supper. I'll take another stab at it with your tips. I'll brag later, I hope! --Kev--

Hi Folks, My AZ Premium-HD finally quit booting, I just got the FTDI TTL-232-5V cable in yesterday. AZ's been acting up for a while now, having to reboot from "Format HDD" option was best. I am following Radar's recovery procedures to the tee, but KIN PumpKIN is giving me the stonewall! I am...

Good ideas Primestar. I never thought of OTA, as I don't do it here. CBC shut down their local repeater here in Wawa, and CTV's is behind a small mountain from me. I do get a signal, but it's badly ghosted from bouncing off a bunch of houses to get here. I would need a 100' tower to fix it...

Hi Addision. Welcome to the hobby!, Welcome to the site! You haven't mentioned if you already have any dishes besides the Direct-dish. Do you plan on going "dish hunting"? Are you a "Do-It-Yourselfer"? A good dish and motor can be had for the asking, if you find the right people to ask. Be...

Thanks FaT Air for helping with an explanation, and my apologies Robert, if my "loud" thinking has offended your intentions. It sounded to me like you wanted us all to brag(?) about FTA on an open forum, while keeping mum on the topic is (imo) preferred. Perhaps I misunderstood your request...

Hmmmm, what are the chances this could end up as an "encryption snowball"? ---Just thinkin' out loud.---

Hey, Thanks Radar! Best wishes for the new year to you too! Just coasting in "semi-hibernation-mode", lol, making sure the BUD and AZbox are up to snuff for the wifey's TV addictions! Boy, this Sat-Guys site is truly indispensable for those of us who detest "paying" for commercials on TV! I...

In case no one has noticed yet, COZI is now coming down from 105w, AMC-18. It has replaced "Universal Sports" on TP 3780 H 30000 5/6 DVB-S2 (8PSK). No awkward skew, I tried a rescan of the TP, but the name hasn't changed. I just renamed the channel. Enjoy!

I want a microHD for 2013

I had similar troubles with the P.R. NBC channel. I entered the A and V pids manually, but my AZ-PremiumHD wouldn't keep them after re-boot. My fix was to delete the TP, re-boot, re-enter the TP manually, and re-scan it. It was then just a matter of renaming the channels in the PID edit...

Thanks for the input Guys! I've never worked (toyed?) with one like this, and was just wandering if it had any use or value. In hindsight, I may have wasted everyone's time, since I just dug out my Invacom QPH-031. I'm sure I can fit it to the focal point of the dish, but our northern weather...

Thanks for the response Scott. I guess, if anything, the feed-horn alone could possibly be useful, in the future. Cheers!

Hi All. I recently brought this piece home from the dump, as well as the 1 meter dish it was attached to. It powers up nicely on standard LNB at 11250 LO. 79% on a PanSat 2700, (no signal). The dish is in pretty decent shape too, by the way. I searched the net and couldn't find any specs on...

Much thanks, ke4est! I tried it right away and got the audio working, but no picture. Fixed the video by selecting "H-264" video type. Turns out that I had the correct PIDs, but the wrong audio and video "types". For anyone interested, my working settings are now; 3720 H 28800 3/5fec, Pilot...

I need some help relocating the CW channels Can someone please post their working PID entries? I'm able to "lock" with excellent Q, but can't get the stations to materialize. I'm getting nice S and Q at 3720 H 28800, but no pic/audio. Good S, but no Q at 3990 V 14400. I've looked at both...

Too bad you didn't have a longer ladder, looks like a little more height would've been a good thing. How do you like the digital level? I have the same one for installs, and I swear by it now! I've got a motorized 90cm dish too, but its been down since I got the DMX-741 C/Ku LNB installed...

It seems you are only seeing circular polarity signals because of the factory reset. The reset would have erased all of the switch settings in the DisEQC part of the antenna setup menu. This has nothing to do with the "way" the motor is commanded. eg; USALS or DisEQC 1.2. What it does, is...

Oops, I didn't see your latest post before submitting. Now, two things where I can't be much help at, 1; my Invacom QPH-031 has been sitting on the shelf for a while now, and 2; I've never used a Viewsat. I've forgotten exactly what settings are needed to make them work, as I'm using a...

Hi Beatle, I just googled "quad polar legacy lnb" and found your LNB to be an Invacom QPH-031, is this correct? If so, I think you'll have to go and move the cable from the "C" connection to an "L" connection at the LNB itself.. The L and C stand for Linear and Circular. Always turn the STB...

A good strong Ku transponder to start with on 97w Galaxy-19 is; 12152 H 20000 3/4 . From 91W to 97W is westward. What size is your dish? I believe that 90cm (3ft) is minimum for this bird. Are you using a linear LNB? You won't see that bird without one. Set your "LNB Frequency" to...

Have a look at this site, lots of good numbers there. hXXp://www.sathint.com/america Good luck.

I found their website ( hXXp://www.tele-satellite.us/ ), and had a look at the online copy of the magazine by clicking on the book itself. I noticed that there were zoom features there on the online pages, did they not work for you? I then found the "download" link in the toolbar at the...

Oops, forgot to mention, I had to turn Pilot "On" for that TP, to get any Q. But that might just be one of the quirks that my AZ has developed.
