I have been trying to load the S12 06182012 (Upgrade by USB) on my openbox S9, but I keep getting "Upgrade file is mismatch" error. It is currently loaded with C2HS2-11-11-27. Any ideas?

Strange. Unless someone had replaced it with the wrongvoltage battery, could there have been a modification from Motorola to use 3.6vinstead of 3v, and I would have the early one, or the late one if they decidedthat 3v worked. I guess my concern is, what is the critical voltage cutoffbefore ram...

My DSR922 has a 3v battery in it, not 3.6v, and it looks factory. Does the 920 take a 3.6v, and the 922 take a 3v? I measured it and I'm getting 3.3v (definitely a good sign). I just purchased the receiver and wanted to make sure the battery was up to snuff. Anybody know if the 2 models use...

Thanks guys!

Wallyhts, thanks for the video! I was finally was able to view it. Why do you say programming isn't going to be around long? They have been saying that for years, and it's still here. Besides, without C band, networks can't feed cable tv.

Ok, The mapmaster voodoo is new to me. Can anybody clue me in on how all of this is done on the DSR922? Step by step? (Just heard of this shortly after I became a member of this forum) Or head me to a website that already has the basic steps? Thanks!

wallyhts, was your 4DTV video taken down? All I get is a black screen on your post. I was interested in watching it. Thanks.

Kraven, the DSR922 prices are insane! around $500+! I did find a place that sells them for $349.95 + shipping. I called them last week and they said one was coming in and asked if I would like to reserve it. Of course I said yes. It is on its way to me. For anybody interested, it's...

I know that I toasted the lnbf tuner. I popped the side off of it and saw a couple of toasted surface mount capicitors. Also, the voltage coming into the tuner is only about 2.5V. The lnbf port is putting out nothing. I also suspect the lnbf on the dish is toast. With lightning, the chances...

Everything with the DSR410 was peachy, until I lost the receiver and LNBF in a lightning air burst:mad:. Is there another receiver that will allow me to subscribe to channels with digital C? I see the DSR922 (pricey!). Any others?

2 apps I would say- Sound hound , which identifies a song, and scrolls lyrics when available. Also, Dish pointer- great for getting you into the ballpark when installing a dish and wondering where the heck that darn tootin bird is in the arc! It helped me greatly when reviving my 10'...

Eurosport, Live and learn, right? Or, rekindle the old days into the digital era! ;) Is there any 4dtv FTA, or if not, what kind of programming is available? I may venture down that road next. I'l split off another receiver.

I think this closes the chapter. I went out to the dish yesterday, since the wind was causing me to lose my already weak signal. I spun the lnbf clockwise and and checked several times until I was happy and was able to get horizontal and verticle signals in the upper 70's with good quality...

After I hit the bird (smacked it!), I was getting horizontal but no verticle channels (so much for voltage switching!). Since I have a dual digital c-band LNBF, I'm thinking that is my problem. What I finally did was to put a power passive splitter on in reverse (both LNBF feeds in and one...

RT, that sounds like a surface mount schottky diode, switching diode or even a transistor, since it has 3 legs. See image below (schottky diode). How did you make out?

News! I've hit the bird! I locked onto W5 finally!Believe it or not, I was a satellite or 2 off to the east. GEEZ! Well, I got home and cracked open a Yuengling, since it was a hot day, and figured I'd go to my original reference point on the LNBF and tweak it from there. In order to reach the...

turbosat, my luck is very seldom that good. It's my persistance that gets me where I want to go. sometimes I wish it were different!:confused:

eurosport- I tried going the other direction 90degrees but no joy. It did look funny with the flat part of the lnbf streight up and parallel to the ground (this would be 90 from where I got a strong signal with the FTA receiver, counterclockwise) In the instructions from Skyvision, they say to...

If I get a chance tonight, I will play around with it. I'm anxious to get this going. I'm getting tired of the $72/month from Dish Network, when they deprive me of the couple of channels that I used to get. My $49/month worked its way to $72/month without any help from me (Sleight of hand)...

I remember "Ice" mentioning that the DSR410 takes its sweet time locking, or acquiring a signal. At least I thought that was the model that he mentioned. How long did it take you?

eurosport- I just haven't had a chance to mess with it. It's been too springlike outside, got doing other things! I do think I will try spinning the lnbf 90 counterclockwise next since clockwise didn't do anything. Is there a particular direction I should be turning it after I establish a signal...

Mikekohl-Thanks! I will try that when I get home from work. Just think, one of these times I'm going to report seeing pictures! I don't give up easily!

Ok, eurosport, I'll try it. And thanks ice! I figured you would pop in after a while. I've read many of your posts. :cool: It's a little different than the old analog days that I remember! I'm re-learning it all again, at the benefit of saving money if it all works out!

Well, I flipped my LNBF 90 degrees, and I was able to get into the secret menu on the DSR410. I made the recommended setting changes as per eurosport's suggestion, but still no green light. Before all of this, to be sure I actually had a signal of some sort, I hooked up my FTA Sathawk, and...

eurosport- I got into the secret menu and set the parameters, but no joy. Dumb question- Is this a circular signal and not horizintal/vertical, hence left anf right settings? If so, I'll have to put the plate in the LNBF. I appreciate all of the help everybody is giving me! :):)
