Thank you very much! This will be so helpful if I have anymore problems. I've been flipping through and at this point I am getting everything I should get. No searching for signal issues at all. That small tweak to the dish did the trick.

I have an HR22 and HR24. Still the old school stuff. I don't want them charging me even more than they already do for the new equipment. Not having the beeps would have sucked because I would have had to run back and forth. I did get improvement. In fact I was getting the channels I wanted to...

That's exactly what I did when I couldn't get the channels. I had the volume cranked up and listened through the screen on the storm door to hear that beeping get louder. :cool:

The numbers I quoted were for Satellite 101 Transponder 1. Like I said, I moved the dish before checking this forum for replies so I don't know what 99CA T14 was but, now it's 74

Mr. Tony, I am most grateful. A clear concise answer to the question. I can't imagine calling directv and enduring the nightmare of trying to ask customer service this question. I came home from work tonight to turn on the world series. Obviously on Fox and I couldn't get a signal on that...

I am having an issue with signal on these 3 channels. 206,207, 209 This is a SWM setup. I check the strength meter for tuner 1 and 2 and they are squawking 94 and 95. I need to know what satellite and what transponder these are on so that I can peak the dish on those spots. Thanks for any...

I hate how it usually decides I need to switch to some goofy channel like 201 that I am not even watching. It isn't fixed for me. I use an HR 22 and HR 24's. No Genie

:biggrin

You're a hearty soul to be working on your dish at 4 am.

Spoken like a true FTA'er Jeff. You must be using high quality switches with that array. I can't imagine cheap little Diseqc switches not giving you problems.

Resolution wouldn't be critical to see that stuff. I suppose a regular coax connection would do fine. I'm just thinking if you need to look at that screen, people aren't going to want to have to keep getting close to it. It looks pretty small.

Wow, I must say, that does look pretty cool. I didn't see anything saying you could see the lcd window on your tv screen. What happens when you want to move to a satellite you have no channels stored on? Do you have to get down and look at that tiny little screen? Also, what happens if you...

Guys, my second Uniden Supra looks like it's motor outputs have died. I'd love to find another as I have used this receiver for so long, I can run it blindfolded. That might be hard though. There is one on ebay but, all it says it that it powers up. My other two Supras power up. That does not...

Oh, I got ya. That makes perfect sense when you think about it. Thanks again.

Hey Fat air, thanks for the detailed response. I thought that is how it was supposed to be but, I wanted confirmation. I do have an analog meter as well as my digital. Could you elaborate on exactly how to simulate pulses with a piece of wire? I'm thinking you mean jumper across at the...
