    T90 Circular feeds

    A friend with a damaged T90 WaveFrontier has lost interest in the hobby. He gave me 3 M20R feeds and one B20 Feeds. I've never used circular except for dish aiming (I only had one of the circular feeds for that purpose). Before I toss/sell them, is anyone aware of FTA feeds (other than the...

    Birdog USB USB Plus 4.0 driver problem BSOD

    I fixed my own problem and thought I'd post the solution in case anyone else had the same problem (always the source of my own amusement- it is a sad but truth that I laugh at my own jokes, too). I eliminated the XP OS crash/BSOD by noting that the driver file cited in the BSOD Windows blue...

    Birdog USB USB Plus 4.0 driver problem BSOD

    I have owned my Birdog USB+ 4 for a few years and am quite happy with it. Now attempting to update the satellite list by usb transfer for the first time. It has never worked when attempted before (can't seem to establish a serial connection with the device). Now I'm focusing on the matter...

    How deep a hole for 21' pole?

    Where exactly did you get a pipe? Can I get 4" from Home Despot? All this talk about cement bases. Necessary if the dish will be mounted on a pole 7-8' above the ground if I bury 4' in rocky soil (no frost here)? Thanks.

    offloading 9200HD PVR files copy to PC?

    Another thought I had was booting my PC with the image found on Ultimate Boot CD - Overview and see if it can see both the DRDOS2 formatted HDD and a FAT32 partition on my PC. If that works then, that would at least be a workaround until a better method could be found.

    offloading 9200HD PVR files copy to PC?

    If I reboot Fedora when the HDD is connected to a USB port, I see a "cannot allocate media number" error during the bootup of Fedora. Once Fedora is up and running, it seems the HDD has not mounted. I was unable to manually mount it.

    I have tried connecting to a different PC running XP without success. The drive connects to the 9200HD via eSATA cable. I do not not have a eSATA connection to my PC so I am connecting the HDD via USB when it is connected the PC (the enclosure I'm using supports USB, Firewire and eSATA)...

    Starting a new thread on this now.... So I acquired an external eSATA HDD for my 9200HD running the new PVR firmware. All works fine. The receiver formatted the drive, I can record and play back on the receiver with no problem. The HDD has been formatted with the DR-DOS2 FS by the...

    Standalone AM21?

    I have no interest in a subscription to any DirecTV satellite service but wondered of their new AM21 dual-ATSC STB Tuner can work as a standalone unit without a DTV receiver or DVR? I just want to connect my rooftop antenna to it and be able to input two signals into my digital television set...

    Pansat 9200 PVR Software Now Available

    Which 1TB External drive are you using? Did you buy an internal 1TB and place it in a case yourself or did you buy a pre-made 1TB package? I am not familiar with DR-DOS2 FS- can I connect the HDD formatted with this to a Windows XP to migrate a recorded file off the HDD to a PC? Thanks.
