Here's my sunny day fool proof solar outage gauge. When the black shadow is in the dish bullseye it's time to change birds or wait awhile :)

Thanks for the reminder/help. I plugged the receiver's ethernet in and cleaned up my "bouquets" - piece of cake. 73, Mike

Thanks - and to clarify some vernacular - bouquet is a group of channels in a list? Also, what does "zap" in a menu button do? I'll check out the web IF

I looked through the thread list and don't see anything for folks like myself who barely know enough to be dangerous :) My problem is I don't change anything often enough to remember the steps. Right now I'm looking for how to edit a satellite entry to remove the unwanted channels and how to...

Thanks for the reports folks! A slight tweak to compensate for dog brushes was all it took :)

Haven't seen a peep out of this mux for a couple of weeks up here. The other 87W channels are still on.

Started C band in the early 1990's. We used to get together here to watch the Star Trek feeds on UPN a couple days before they were broadcast. Great one up on the co workers who were fans too.

In MN we had the MNLARS fiasco. Statewide vehicle licensing system cobbled together by government codesmiths that failed miserably and cost hundreds of millions to be properly done by pros. The problem, IMHO, was the govt coders were probably hot stuff a decade ago, but existing 10 years out of...

Here's hoping you get your wish. We never appreciate good health until it aint. 73 Mike

Between Brian and Michael, most of my sat gear has come from one or the other - always an improvement from existing.

Thanks! This is cool! Can someone point me to a thread explaining why streaming "the elusive 4:2:2 ABC/CBS channels" works?

Is there a prefered place to download VLC? Or alternatives others prefer? It looks like a useful application here.

The Edison wouldn't see my 16 Gb USB stick. I had a text file named backupstick.txt as per the displayed instructs and my stick was formatted to NTFS. Reformatted to FAT32 and instead created a subdirectory named backupstick. It worked. Backup plugin took about 3 minutes. The problem with...

Another question. What file format do I set my USB stick drive to FAT32 or NTFS?

I've been poking around, but haven't found it yet. I assume you mentioned it because it was still there someplace?

The backup was done after my 1st factory reset. Noticed the hotter receiver also gives more adjacent duplicates - 7' Obitron is the real culprit, but the winds & hail up here preclude a long life for most mesh dishes. In it's 25 yrs, I've remeshed mine twice and the last time was because...

I really like this new receiver! I don't even know enough about it to be dangerous yet, but I appreciate the horsepower under the hood.

Thanks, did it and it worked fine. The backup menus have changed a bit from your earlier guide, but that went well when I found the plug in. Scanned in 101W C and like it! Now my only issue is figuring out how to edit my channel list to skip the unwanted channels. Mike

OK 1st question. How do I start over the initial config. I was wandering around the menus and it must thought I was done. Mike

I grabbed the text without looking close. See why I need instructions ;) I've hand over hand learned all the other boxes I've owned - I'll figure this one out too. Mike

Just purchased one from Titanium and want to read up on how to operate the installed firmware. Regards, Mike

I want to win an Edision OS Mio 4k with The North America Project image Free new gadget? I'm in. Thanks!

Almost every pager (remember them?) in the country quit working because most of their towers had a Ku dish pointing at G4 for a data feed. I was a retread going to radio school at the time and a C band satellite FTA watcher. We also lost our early Star Trek feeds ( 3 days before air time :)...

Though not the first time I'd seen a satellite dish, the most memorable was 1978 in Singapore. As I was riding to our destination in the cab I noticed all the dishes looked like huge bird baths pointing straight up. We were on the equator.

Noticed I was seeing television on this channel again last night. - Nice.
