That is just what I needed to know. Thanks for the super fast reply

7.5' dish corotor ll + wideband C & Ku band lnb's Toshiba 1800 analog receiver 905 sidecar slaved to Toshiba (Toshiba controlling polarity) I am planning on getting and adding a fta receiver for my bud system, but I do not know what switches that I may need. Can anybody tell me what...

yeah I thought I did a backwards scroll while blinking.

Prices, LOL, The place I had in mind had the Orasat for 138.00 + 5.00 S&H up until yesterday. Now they are 149.00 + 5.00 S&H. Go figure, that is the way my luck goes.

Iceberg, Will you be reviewing the Orasat anytime in the near future? I really appreciate how you go in depth with your reviews. You are about the only person that I have found that does a full review. testing all the capabilities of a product, then submitting the outcome. I liked the...

From what I hear those guys @ ATS know these machines inside and out. Thanks for update. Let us know how you make out. Dave

Is there anything up there in circular polarization that the 4DTV can receive? I am wanting to upgrade my feedhorn to a c/ku, and wandering if it is worth buying a Chaparral Corotor II+ Wideband Thanks in advance, Dave

As mentioned above Your focal depth should not have changed, but the feedhorn might not be seeing the dead center of the dish. This could weaken your signal. Is the feed horn rotated from a previous setting

Black Modules Yes they are illegal to use but not to own for testing purposes The earlier black boxes are the only ones that can be chipped. If the module is any other color than black, it cannot be chipped. Another thing about the older modules is that they will not work in a 4DTV receiver...

I would say your servo motor is bad. That will be a small plastic box on the back end of your feedhorn, with three small wires going to it. This actuates a probe in one direction for even channels and another direction for odd channels. You can get these fairly cheap off Ebay (new) When you...

You mentioned you daul cband lnbs. Most of your fta and dbs is in the ku band. You will need a feed horn that will accommodate both cband and ku band. Another road block for you would be circular and linear polarization on the feed horn.

I have a 7'5 KTI in PA and I can get all of my digitals on my 905. I even pull in those hard HBO's on G1 with no pixalation when the wind is not blowing hard.

Chances are, the HD you are seeing is from Dish Network or Directv. That is why you sre seeing no difference. They compress their signals if I am not mistaken. Your SD off of your big dish is probably just as good or better than their HD on their LSD When is the last time you ever seen a C Band...

Sorry one more thing if the servo wires are hooked back to 905, you will to reset your lnb and feedhorn settings to match your setup on the dish, or you can just leave the wires on your analog, then you will not have worry about those settings. just change from even to odd when needed.

If so, there is one last resort. Put your analog on G1, if the servo wires are still hook to analog, then put the analog on an ODD channel. Turn on 905 and and put it on G1 channel 100 Then press options 6 7 7 8 this will put you into a hidden menu and select factory reset. Do not attemp to...
