    H25 Component Cable

    My installer did not provide me with one of the 10 pin component cables for the H25. Since that HD TV did not have an hdmi input he hooked it up with RCA cables. At the time I did not know about the 10 pin cable. I picked up an hdmi -> component converter cable thinking that it would work, but...

    Direct TV as a wedding gift?

    Ever heard of such a thing? I wonder what kind of deal I could get if I was willing to pay up front for two years of service for the newlyweds? Maybe it would create a huge hassle if they wanted to make changes to their service?

    Two HR24 or One HR34?

    Ok the delima is I want three receivers. Either One HR34 + 2HD OR Two HR24 +1 HD. My wife says Two HR24 because she has come to expect failure. (Receiver NOT me;)) Thinking 1/2 working is better than none in the event of failure. What I really want to know is how well the two HR24 will work...

    Unique dish

    Here is a unique dish that I saw today at an old hotel in Cairo, IL. All I had was a cell phone to take the picture with so it isn't very good. I have never seen a dish like this one. It looked to be about 7 or 8 footer.

    The B1SAT Stacked C-band LNBF

    Well I couldn't find an inexpensive dual c-band lnbf to replace my Geosat pro that got hit by lightning. Since I only watch one analog channel, and it is on a vertical transponder, I decided to try the B1SAT Stacked C-band LNBF from Sadoun. I used a high frequency splitter with one port...

    Inexpensive dual c-band lnbf

    I bought one from Glorystar a year ago for about $45 + shipping. It worked great until a couple weeks ago, it didn't survive a thunder storm. Glorystar still had this lnbf for sale on their web site two weeks ago, but I procrastinated and today do not see it on their site any more. Does...

    Sonicview 1000 and HH120: Confusion

    Has anybody ever used a sonicview 1000 with a stab hh120? How about a buzz, I have read that they may be the same unit? I received my HH120 from Sadoun last night. I just hooked it up on my work bench with no dish to see how it works. I'm confused about how it is acting. My...

    Anybody using an ATSC card with DvbViewer?

    I have been testing DvbViewer Pro with DVB-S cards for a few weeks and REALLY like it! I have tested it with a skystar2 and a twinhan 1025. I have tried adding an air2pc atsc card without much success. I can get it to work on the free version, but not the pro version. The air2pc appears to...

    Do you leave the pole?

    Do you guys that do a lot of dish hunting take the pole down for the previous owner? If so, what is the best way? I saw a guy pulling one out with a backhoe that I installed back in 92. I know that it didnt come out without a fight! But I was taught to really taper it down wide at the bottom...

    Any FTA PVR that does multiple pid recording?

    Do any of the fta receivers allow recording of more than one pid at the same time? For example, The Equity mix on G10 11720 V has multiple channels on this transponder at different pid's. Can any current pvr receivers record two or more at once (without the assistance of dual tuners) ? I can...

    Made my US Electronics Legacy work with 13/18V switched LNBF

    I had some time this weekend to test an idea I had. My goal was to share a dual c-band lnbf with an FTA receiver, a DVB card and my C-Band receiver with a 4X2 multi-switch. The issue was with the c-band receiver. It does not support lnbf 13/18V switching of polarities. My US Electronics...

    Dual C-Band feed Configuration

    I was thinking about buying one of these dual c-band lnbf's http://www.adventistsat.com/shop/item/LN-GEO+C2 and using a 2X4 multi switch to distribute. However, my C-Band Legacy receiver (AKA Drake 1524) does not support LNBF. I want to feed an fta receiver and a DVB card in addition to the...

    Dvbdream recording names

    Has anyone found a graceful way of naming recordings in dvbdream? The only options are channel name, date/time, split piece and epg name. FTA channels have no EPG. If left as default, I wind up with a name that has the channel name, date/time and "no event". I wonder if the EPG is stored in...

    Coolsat 5000 Event Timers

    Does the event timers in the Coolsat 5000 allow you to set reoccurring timers? For example, Can you set it to tune to a specific channel every Monday at 7:00 pm. If so does it have to be powered off and set to "wake up" to this channel, or can it stay powered up to do it? I would like to...
