    Can't tune W5/X4 after 1-5-11

    Well, the more I thought about this the more weird it seemed so I decided to go back to basics and see where it falls apart. I sat down with the remote and an arc map. I went to every bird I could identify and wrote down the position number for each one. Every one came up without any tweaking...

    Can't tune W5/X4 after 1-5-11

    No, but I will try that when I get home. Additional question: Can I use a Pansat 2700 to check for signal strength from W5? I see that the only fta stuff on W5 is all MPEG4 and I know the 2700 is only MPEG2, but can I use the 2700 to verify that I am indeed on target and receiving C-band...

    Can't tune W5/X4 after 1-5-11

    I just looked at the updated instructions from Skyvision. I currently have a channel count of 4805. I did delete X4 and this count did not change. Will deleting some other unused sats from the map help free up memory? If so, will the count go down or will that only change when the map is...

    Can't tune W5/X4 after 1-5-11

    Well, I found my TDT is at 1709 so that is not the problem. I can send my dish to any other sat, and it nails the position dead on each time, so the alignment is not a problem. I just can not get any signal from W5/X4 or CF when at the location of W5. I deleted X4 and positioned the dish on...

    Can't tune W5/X4 after 1-5-11

    I had written down the actuator position numbers and polarity settings for W5 before I did anything. The only thing that could cause me to not be pointing at W5 would be if the dish mount twisted on the pole. I have had that happen in high winds, but that affects every position number for...

    One other thing. Changing polarity on Options 6-7-7-8-1 does not change the polarity setting on Options 6-4-4. I don't think this matters because I can rotate from -90 to +90 manually. Auto peak can't find it either. I have tried with W5, X4, CF and G9 all parked on 105 location.

    Can't tune W5/X4 after 1-5-11

    Thanks, but my unit was made in '02, the ones affected are '06 and later. Yes, I can rotate the antenna inside the LNB by using the polarity controls on the 922. Is that what you mean by polorator? I have no idea where the dmx channels are at, because I have no guide info, not even a channel...

    Can't tune W5/X4 after 1-5-11

    I have a Moto 922 (from 2002). Had been watching subs (Skyvision) on W5, C3 and C4 all along. Lost the guide on 12/31. Called and got everything working on W5. I think I was moved to HITS but did not know about the difference at the time. Was told not to do the remapping conversion until...
