I used to have the welcome pack and then moved and stopped service. I finally got a dish setup and restarted service but I get an error code stating dish needs to enable hd so I can use my ota card. I called dish and they said I have to upgrade to a $50 package so I can have watch ota channels...

Hi, I checked "the List" and it looks like the NBC mux on 72w is still there but I just wanted to make sure since I will be moving my dish from 103w and wanted to make sure I'm not wasting my time. I have a 30" Ku setup with an S9 receiver but I think it is too small to get the HD feeds on...

I am starting to get into C-band, bought a 6' dish from WSI and I am interested in setting up a W5 fixed system. I can't get a good read on what is going on or if these receivers and programming services will still be available in a few weeks. From what I have read in here it looks like it...

Hi, I am starting to play around with C band. I am trying to point my 6' WSI dish at 103w. Do I just set the elevation of the dish to what dishpointer says (using one of the magnetic angle finders) and play around with the azimuth and hope for the best? This is how I had luck with my offset...

Can the receiver maybe be bad? I have a traxis 3500 with an xtreme II lnb. I get horizontal fine but no vertical. I am going through an sg2100 motor. Can I check the voltages out of the receiver? When I choose vertical for lnb type when I am on a H channel the channel goes away so I am...

My father played around with my motorized Ku setup and decided he wanted one. I am going to help him install his in a couple of weeks. His true south satellite comes up as 72.5w but it looks like it doesn't have any FTA on it or any linear transponders. Will I be able to get by if I aim to...

I have a traxis 3500 that I am using now but would like to try to get HD feeds without getting an expensive set top box. Is there a decent USB box to do this? Or PCI card? Do they also make one that does ATSC? I tried to sift through the forum but didn't find much, then again, maybe I was...

So, I lost power a couple of days ago... I thought I was pointing at 123W but apparently I'm not. I was hoping for my COPS fix on kwbm. I am on a satellite that has a lot of scrambled channels, none ITC from my blind scan, and 18 audio channels ITC - where am I? I guess if I figure this out...

Hi, I couldn't pass up the free sign on these 2 dishes this afternoon. The direcpc is a little smaller, 35x20 and it came with a second lnb attached. The main lnb is kind of weird, has a V shave to it. even though this is a little smaller will it work for 123W? I was thinking I could swap...

Hi. I been sifting through the threads on the direcway assembly and am a little confused about a couple of things. It is the 39x23 model and it had a rectangular lnbf assembly with a box on the bottom of the arm from the dish to the lnbf assembly. from what I have read it looks like I can...

If I go through and manually delete TP's will I lose them forever, or will a blind scan find them again and repopulate the list? Can I just go through the satellites I can't see/move to and get rid of those TP's since I will never need them?

So, I am setting the latitude side of the bracket to my latitude - is this correct? my lat is 42.86. I am setting the elevation on the satellite bracket to 23.5. What is the elevation sacle on the motor bracket for? to confuse me? I have been on the ladder for about an hour with no luck...

I noticed that the receiver will go out west after tuning to some feeds which might be HD. I can get audio on the feed but no picture. From here the remote/front panel response is extremely slow, minutes to change to another channel. Once I go to another channel I get no pic or audio but the...

Ok, I ordered the sg2100 motor. I tried my best to get everything straight in my head but don't think I have yet. I am at latitude 42.863N longitude 71.515W. I figured out my true south satellite is AMC6 at 72W compass 192.5, elevation 40.5, lnbf +0.5 I have gone over the sg2100 easy...

Hi, I recently had luck with a KU band dish. I live in southern NH and was wondering what elevation a 6' C-band dish would have to be at - I was thinking the same as the KU dish since they might be looking at some of the same satellites. The thing is that the KU dish is about 19 degrees for G10R...

Hi, I am trying to get G10R and I got a signal, did a scan and this is what came up. I guess I am trying to figure out which way to go from here, azimuth and elevation. Thanks.

Hi. I got my dish mounted. before I even plugged in the cable I have 38% signal strength and 11% signal quality reported from the receiver??? I am trying to tune to G10R. I read the review on this receiver and it said there is a green LED on the front panel that will help me aim the dish so...

Hi. I got my dish setup in and might brave the snow to try to set it up. I have aimed dishes before for dish network and directv, is this pretty much the same thing but without the skew? Just make sure everything is plumb and aim away? For the LNB, do I just mount it so the connector faces...

Hi, I have a question about LNBs. I read somewhere that if I have my fixed dish pointing at G10R that I can mount another LNB to the left side of it and possibly tune in white springs at 129. I have spare directv and dishnetwork LNBs, I was wondering if one of these would work for this or if I...

Hi. I am running into a problem trying to get channel 59 which is WMUR-DT. Their regular analog broadcast is on channel 9 which comes in clear as day seeing as I am only 15 miles from their broadcast location - I looked up on the fcc database and it appears that 59 is broadcast from the same...

Hi, I have a spare 15" LCD computer monitor - I was wonderring if I can hook it up to my HD OTA receiver? Not sure if it will work or if I will ruin anything? It would be nice to watch the football games while trying to get some work done in my office. Thanks, Steve

Can I use the E8 as an HD OTA receiver without a subscription? Also, would this unit require an access card? I am looking for an inexpensive way to receive my local HD OTA stations without having to buy a new tv set with a digital tuner and I found a good deal on one of these receivers. I...

Hi, I ran across a free voom receievr w/o a remote. I hooked it up and it will scan through and find the OTA channels just fine - I do not have a remote so I can't press the "green" button to continue. My question is if I got this far does this mean the box is authorized? Or will it tell me I...
