The old Pansat 100A worked like this. It had 100 bouquet memory with each bouquet slot having the frequency, polarity and symbol rate. When you tuned to one of the TPs, it would download the tables, set up the channels and tune to the first channel. Successive channel ups would tune to the...

Looking into my crystal ball, I see that the cost of changing the skew on all those downlinks and uplinks versus keeping the odd skew on the new satellite; keeping the odd skew will win out and nothing will change as far as we are concerned.

For an interesting read, I suggest downloading the August 2004 issue of Bob Cooper's SatFACTS. I had to laugh when I read page 30!:rolleyes::facepalm hxxp://theoldcatvequipmentmuseum.org/220/225/index.html

My mother got the same operation and noticed the same thing about things tinted blue after living with a yellow tinted world with the cataracts. Her surgeon said this is normal and related a story about Picasso going through his Blue period in his paintings after cataract surgery after his...

I don't have this receiver, but the firmware as described on here seems similar to that on the Manhattan RS-1933. You could try a few of these tips that work on the Manhattan and see if they also work on the MicroHD... When playing a recording and you have the OSD with the progress bar...

Still there, same as always.

Pansat 100A bought from Mike Kohl. First day of owning it I received ONN at 37.5W with a low quality signal as one of the first signals I saw that day. This would be the Friday before Mother's Day in 1998. Still have it, but haven't used it regularly since it was replaced by the Pansat 200A a...

Every time I replace an actuator, this happens. Even if I try to second guess my first guess, because I "just know" that the first guess will be wrong. Have to unscrew the wires and switch. I even filled out the drawing in my Drake manual to show which colored wires go where, but do I ever...

Daystar has been at that location in the arc for over 10 years and is using 4:2:2 colorspace which shows up as blocks in the picture or a blank screen if your receiver doesn't do 4:2:2, which most don't.

I've been using a new out-of-the-box Seagate 2TB NTFS formatted drive with great results. The only problem I have run into is once, when deleting a program, it didn't get the allocation tables correct and I had to plug it into my Windows computer to run chkdsk on it to fix before the Manhattan...

No icon for BISS, but all firmware since April/May 2010 that I've seen decodes BISS. Or I should say, cardsharing/network enabled firmware.

I have a Pansat 330A that I loaded Digian 2000 firmware on that has volume level setting per channel. Think of it as the volume level going from 0 to 100. Channels scanned in default to 50. Whenever you adjust the receiver volume, it is automatically saved as a setting for the channel tuned...

But with two important differences: The C-Band/103W feeds are both SD and HD versions of PBS-East with main audio of Musicam/MPEG with AC3/DD an option on the HD feed as opposed to HD and AC3/DD only with both PBS-East and PBS-West on Ku-Band 125W. This makes the C-Band feed friendlier to...

With a delayed release date and all this current firmware development, it might be the only receiver released with full featured firmware instead of having to wait months for all the features we need to be added and the bugs to be worked out. :D
