Thanks. I found a EMP-centauri 4/1 at Amazon and I'll order it today. That should solve all my problems, except no reception on Rural TV, but I guess I need a 10' dish, my 8' just won't do it. But at least I can enjoy C-Band and Ku-Band with the new switch. Thanks for sharing all your expertise!

Thank you so much for all the pointers. I have gone down the list and verified everything. By process of elminiation I think the switch must be bad. Googling around I see DiSEqC switches anywhere from $3.95 to $39.95. Any suggestions - is more expensive really better? What parameters do...

I tried it again - no signal through the switch. I checked the switch again and it says "DiSEq 2.0" S-DS41C on the front, all the information is on a Sadoun label. I'm really stumped as far as what I'm doing wrong.

I have my new MicroHD all hooked up and updated. It works great on my C-Band dish, it works great on my Ku-Band dish. I have a 4 way DiSEqC switch (DiSEqC 2.0) I got from Sadoun a few years back. When I run through the switch I don't get any signal at all. I have tried all the ports and...

Just got my new MicroHD and the power finally came back after 5 days of darkness and 25" of snow here in northern Michigan. I'm trying to pull in Rural TV on my 8 foot dish. I'm not able to get a signal, I've tweaked the dish east and west to no avail. I've got a terrific signal on ION. If I...

120 miles southeast of TC, you're probably closer to me, I'm actually in Gaylord but I figured the closest BIG city was TC. Glad to hear that there's reception out our way. I miss RFD but now I can look forward to Rural TV. Thanks

Thanks so much for all the help and advice, guess I'll be ordering a MicroHD this week. I'm 1100" up on a hill with a fully unobstructed view to the south so I'm hoping for a good signal. Thanks again -

The closest city would be Traverse City, Michigan. It would be nice to know that someone is receiving Rural TV from my end of the world.

I checked out the MicroHD and it looks good. I downloaded the manual and I'm wondering; on my Fortec I have to use an optical cord to an AC3 decoder (or theater sound system), will the MicroHD automatically decode the AC3 sound through either HDMI or RCA connectors? I'm not very experienced...

Thanks for the suggestions. I have checked them out and just need to make a decision. I was wondering, on my old Fortec when I put in the specs for Rural TV I'm not getting enough of a signal to lock in the receiver. Is that because it's DVB-S2 or am I just in a bad location and a new...

I have an older Fortec Lifetime Classic NA. I have been enjoying RFD-TV for years and now that it's gone I have been trying to pull in Rural TV with no luck. I seem to only be getting a 20-25% (not enough to lock in) signal and no picture from my 10 foot dish. I noticed in Lyngsat that Rural...
