What receiver are you using with the BSC-621 for Ku? Are you using the standard LO version or the Universal version? Are you using the built-in 22KHz switch? Trying to figure out why you are having this problem on Ku. I'm sure you got the LNBF rotated in the collar correctly and set the...

There's supposed to be a remap in the nightly updates pretty soon to add the "W5" tile to the 4D receivers I'm told. Looks like the channels have already shown up on Lyngsat.

Did you tell the 922 you have an LNBF and rotated 90???? Doing so will activate the voltage controlled polarity switching. That was my first thought.

Thanks for all of the encouragement, fellas. Replaced the battery and all is still well with the 920. Got a couple more lined up to do now for Dad. I should add one precautionary measure that I took when replacing the battery. The axial leads on the new battery were pretty long and I...

The only way I know of is to take off the outside cover, remove the VC module (if there is one) and take a look. You may also be able to see through the side of the unit after taking the outside cover off, I can't remember right now if the rectangular opening in the side is close enough to take...

It was shipped to me last week and spent at least a week in transit. Hopefully, it still has a couple hours of down time left in it! Battery is being delivered today. Wish me luck and Godspeed.

Sounds like a good project to do over Christmas then.

I just picked up a 920 as part of my seemingly ongoing collection 8). First thing was to tear it apart and check battery voltage. It was reading 3.62V :up (and yes, the receiver was unplugged).:rolleyes: So, since it is reading this voltage, should I go ahead and replace the battery...

I use one of their 10 foot dishes. Awesome dish. Not very deep, high gain.

I started subscribing to the X4 only package just a couple months ago. Using a Primestar oval (40"x30") with the original primestar feedhorn/lnb (the one with the separate H/V outputs). Getting about 95 on the quality according to the 922. Been pretty windy at times, but never lost picture...

Our 10 foot dish is 150 feet from the house. One time, the rain was so heavy I couldn't even see the dish. I was watching analog at the time and could see the picture start to fade out a little, but still completely watchable. Digital was still fine. If you're dish is going to be out in the...

I keep hearing a lot of things. Sounds like people that have the absolute digital package are getting them, with the possible exception being Nick GAS because of a problem getting authorization. I have the digital essentials package and I'm still not getting anything. It didn't help that...

This just in: If you have NPS's absolute digital package, I'm told that you should now be able to receive the Mtv/Nick mux on X4. Apparently, the HITS channels have now been added as stated above. I'm not sure if this affects their Digital Essentials package, although it should because...

Don't have anything on the roof except lightning rods. I just work with roof loading every day. The broader support area (tributary area) you have the more effectively the load can be transferred into the roof system and be dissipated.

You want the mount to cover as much area (sq. ft.) as possible, thus distributing the moments induced by the wind hitting the dish. Would I put one on my roof? No.

I heard this was probably going to happen from my programming dealer. I just can't remember why. Did they go over to PowerVu like CourtTV did?

A winner is me! I couldn't believe I won! I'm right in the middle of restoring an arcade game and haven't been around here for a couple weeks. Thanks to SatelliteAV and satelliteguys.us Ironically, I never told my wife about the contest. I think I'll keep it a secret and let the big...

Hey, I have a great idea! No, this is nothing like the last one.....but, honey....c'mon......but.......but......but....the doctor said I'll be able to get the cast off in a couple weeks.....ok, at least listen to it. You know how badly WE need a second C band dish to cover the eastern...

Have you read this? http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=32726 Rain fade isn't much of an issue like Pete said. My 10 footer is 150 feet from the house. It was raining so hard once that I actually lost sight of it for a while, but we were still watching digital. Clear as ever...

Yes, the 920 and 922 can use an LNBf which controls polarity via voltage instead of mechanical means. Make sure you have settings according to what tdti1 stated. There is also a "step" option that you might want to use if you like to hit channel up and down a lot. Step will make your...

Great! Are you going to use it for subscription, or just FTA?

The US versions have issues with overloading if you park your Ku dish on the starchoice sats. I don't know if works the other way around. Great find for $10!! Even better find if it was $10 Canadian!

Have you considered swapping out the current lnb/feedhorn setup for one that can control polarity via voltage? PSB has the C/Ku all-in-one for pretty cheap. Don't have to mess around with the Drake other than using it to move the dish. The DVB receiver would automatically switch to whatever...

That's ok, but you'll need two heavier wires for the DC feed to the actuator.

Thanks. Maybe someone around these parts will know.
