    What to do next ????

    I did have the unit setup as a slave (if I understand you right). I think I was doing the blind scan per the instructions, if I understand you right.

    What to do next ????

    Thanks guys for your support. I did finally get a reply from the company and after some discussion it was decided to return the unit for repair or replacement. Koodoos to your gold sponsor.

    trying to understand new setup

    Been there, done that. However, on the splitters, which reciever should the power pass cables go to? Currently, I put the power pass to the 4dtv. This gets me the signal from the sat and I can get some transponders, but no channels. I recieved a CD to put on my computer to upload info to the...

    Thanks for the reply. I have had the 4dtv for a few years, however my subsriptions have just recently expired. I got into the fta equipment due to the NASA switchover and am trying to get it back. What is IPG? who do I call? (service provider, 4dtv equipment supplier, viewsat supplier, or...
