I got my system working by doing the 4 step procedure on w5-216, since my X4 map did not have X4-216. After holding power button in for 3 seconds, a green light above the dc2 light flashed for about 1 minute. Then, X4 map was correct, with music on 900 channels. I signed up for program guide, to...

Success. I followed the 4 step procedure, and in spite of my TDT being at 1920, I was able to successfully map X4, and subscribe to a package on X4, including the guide. (Actually, I subscribed to the guide, first, just to see if things were working, especially since I can still watch Showtime...

If you can't find them locally, you can almost certainly get them from Digikey or Mouser. I think I need to do the same thing fairly soon.

I'm sure my 922 is about to need a new battery. Where are these videos?

I am tempted to do that, except that if the maps do not load, I suspect I could not even convert it to an X4 box. Is this correct? Also, if the maps do not reload, then my understanding is that I could not even use the 4dtv for a dish mover. Is that correct? (Somewhere I saw a post that said...

Does anyone know if the maps are in any of those feeds? I can get G0 and W5 pretty well. G0-101 is currently playing Showtime in the clear. My TDT is at 1920, so if I am to be able to convert to the X4 package, I must do a master reset. But, if I do that, at best I'll get nothing but X4, and...

Actually, I can't get G1 anyway. It is too low in the sky. But, I am getting G0. In fact, right now I can watch G0-101, since Showtime is free this weekend, and that channel is working fine. While I do have an ancient dish mover, that probably works, it does not have polarity adjustment...

It turns out my tdt is at 1920. Not sure what to do now. I at least want to use the 4dtv to drive the dish for fta receiver. At this point, there is virtually nothing out there of any value to me on 4dtv, so I guess I have nothing to loose by doing a master reset to clear the tdt and then...

If I do a master reset, will I loose the ability to use the tiles to steer the dish to all of the different satellites with an fta receiver? In other words, if I do a master reset, can I use it to watch X4 programming and use it to steer my dish to watch other stuff on a fta receiver?

BTW, I do get a green light on W5. I do get ch 602, but not 603. Clearly the channel map is screwed up. Not sure what to do since TDT is 1920.

OK, I am getting somewhere, but slowly. At least W5/X4 is in the perfect part of the sky. I have strength 90, quality 99 on that, with Eb/No +9.2. And, when I get my new corotor, and can properly place the horn at the focal point (my present feed is too short to reach the focal point, and the...

What is X4? I see it in the same position as G4. G4 works fine on my system. But, if X4 is not Ku, how can it be in the same position as G4? Just like G4 is Galaxy 16. What is X4? I do have X4 in my channel map, but I don't know if it has the correct parameters. I also have W5, but it clearly...

Because I believe that I a Ku band satellite, and I can't get Ku band at the present time.

I think there was some confusion over the codes. I cannot do 67781 without getting a major warning. But, I loaded channel CF to the location of W5, and I see "Cleaning House". No video, but that is what the TV shows. So, I think I am getting somewhere. I cannot load X4 since my system does not...

When I try to do that, I get a message "This will erase all satellites and system settings and temporarily turn off your unit." Obviously, I don't want to do that. I suspect my unit is a brick except for being able to receive W1-400, G4-16, and a few Showtime channels on G0 when they are free.
