    Is My DSR-905 Worth Keeping??

    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...

    AZBOX Please Help! pumpKIN not working for me on AZ Recovery

    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...

    Anyone know the specs on this LNA?

    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...

    Help needed to get the CWs back on 91w G-17.

    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...

    Should I install Neutrino?, Enigma? Or stay with AZ firmware?

    Lately my AZ Prem-HD has been getting sluggish quickly, requiring a reboot to liven it back up. I'm planning to erase everything and start from scratch with a fresh firmware install, but not until the weather is calm enough for the dish (and my patience too!). lol The topic I'd like to touch...

    Audio buzzing on S2 channels.

    Hi all. My AZ Premium-HD has been giving off a subtle, high pitched buzz that can be heard over the TV audio. This only happens when tuned into DVB-S2 channels. It's not very loud, but noticeable when all else is quiet, and more so when the TV volume is raised. The TV is a 42" Panasonic...

    My audio is bad on NASA Ch-2

    My audio is coming in garbled on the NASA Education Channel (Ch-2). I've compared my PID entries to LyngSat and SatHint, and can't clear up the audio problem. Is anyone else having troubles with this channel? The rest of the NASAs sound fine, and no similar problems anywhere else on my...

    AMG-TV Gone? Or just me?

    I've been trying to watch AMG-TV on 97w, Gxy-19. 3991 H 9981 3/4, DVB-S. It was there a few months ago, but not coming in for me lately. I'm using their website's coordinates, but still not seeing the channel. It has disappeared from LyngSat, but is still listed on SatHint. Is it just me...

    Is 36" Channel Master Good Enough For LPBS on 125w?

    Hi folks, I've just acquired a very nice Channel Master 90M-1 (36"x39"). It's missing a few original parts, but I think I can adapt. I was hoping to mount my Invacom QPH-031 to it's focal point. Is anyone else using this type of setup to pull in the LPBS stations on 125W, AMC-21/Ku?, or...

    W5?, G1?, T4?, Please Translate.

    Can someone please tell me how to translate the 4DTV satellite descriptors (W5, G1, T4, etc.) into arc positions? I am only familiar with DVB, and this seems to be a new language to me. I'd like to try out an old DSR905 Sidecar that came with my 10'er, but I have no idea where to point the...

    DSR905 Noob Needs Guidance.

    Hi All. I recently found a 3 year old thread that touched on the "4DTV DSR905 Sidecar". This got me interested in the one I've got. I was given the DSR905, a GI-2750R (VCII) receiver, AND the awesome 10 foot "Perfect-Ten" mesh dish that I've been using since last summer. The previous owner...

    Yet Another strange Question.

    I'm just sitting here with coffee and smokes, brain-farting about the half-dozen or so pizza pans I have kicking around here. At first I was thinking of building an artistic looking "daisy-thing" out of them, mounting 3 or 4 of them to a single focal point. I don't think the geometry is that...

    ?? Access PC's video files from AZBox?

    Hi all, I've used MAZ 3.2 to transfer files out to my AZ-P-HD internal HDD and external HDD (on USB-1). Quite a nice feature, although the files sometimes don't show in the AZ until after a reboot. Fairly quick too, I'd say, a 1/2hr .avi file takes about 4 min. My question is; instead of...

    Rename Channel = No TP Info in Channel Guide.

    I'm using the AZBox Premium-HD, with firmware version 5302. After scanning in a TP, I commonly rename the channels so they are easily recognized in the channel guide. The result, in many cases, is I no longer see any TP info for those particular channels, in the slot at the bottom of the...

    Only -32c, DMX-741 Hibernating?

    Anyone else with cold problems on the DMX-741? Reception went down last night when the temp dipped under -30c, was on a Ku sat at the time. My first try was to go into dish setup and toggle the LNB power. Strength came back to 100% for about 10 seconds, and hasn't come back since. My next...

    GDMX,4:2:2, What kind of TV am I missing?

    Hi again everyone, I'm curious as to what kind of TV programming is available on the GDMX feeds on 99W-G16. I found a 2 year old thread here, that touched on the subject, but had no solid details other than WB feeds with great daytime stuff that dwindled after becoming CW. Are these...

    AZBox Vs CW-400HD, Help me flip the Coin.

    A few buck$ coming my way in the near future, and I can't decide between the two, although, I'm kinda leaning towards the CW-4000HD, I think. I thought I scored a decent STB with the K-Box K2HD, but was left with ZERO factory firmware support. And Mister, this box needs support! First...

    A-B switching, Power Issue?

    I remember someone suggesting an A-B antenna switch, to use between a motorized Ku-band dish and a G-Box/C-Band dish on a single STB. I've installed the switch (an old Bakelite thing, from the 60's I think) right after the receiver, then have the two dish systems hooked to the A/B sides of...

    Spun aluminum, worth a try?

    We took this one down today, it's still sitting on the trailer. It's an 8' spun aluminum, 19" deep and about 3/32" thick. Only the glue is left, where a name plate once was on the back. The owners knew nothing about it, other than it was there when they bought the place 10 yrs. ago, and no...

    2 Motors, 1 STB?? (ECODA SW22 question)

    Hi All. I'm wondering if one STB is able to serve two motorized dishes for FTA reception? I am playing with a 7.5' BUD for C band, and am waiting for my new G-Box to arrive. I'm currently using a CS7000 to run a Stab HH90 for Ku band. I'm also awaiting the arrival of a KBOX K2HD, which...

    Recent Acquisition. Spring Project?

    Hi Folks! Last fall, I salvaged a decent 7.5' (2.3m) mesh dish with a Von Weise actuator, mounts and posts. And I'm hoping to add C-Band FTA to my TV this spring after the thaw. Providing the actuator will function, I should have no troubles setting up the dish, and running cables and wires...

    Where is "Free Preview" List?

    When XpressVu or Dishnet put on "Free Previews", why am I not able to tune in? I am using factory file version 1.16 in my Coolsat 7000 (thank you for your condolences! lol), which doesn't provide for auto-roll from either provider. Should I be using the latest (and obsolete) Nag2 file at...

    TV-Land from NIMIQ-5 Please help.

    I've been trying to pull in the new bird at 72.7w, but no joy so far. I've tried all the settings that Lyngsat gives, but I still can't seem to get positive results with any signals. I've found footprint maps for NIMIQ-5, my 90cm dish (with STAB HH90) should be sufficient here on the...
