    SV 360 Elite upgraded. Have questions.

    Since I uploaded the factory .0111 file to my Elite, the blind scan problem has been fixed. However, the file contains some new additions such as: USER SETTINGS-- Added(new) --1. Round Up Channel = ON (default), OFF 2. Channel Copy (requires password "0000"...

    Big BLIND SCAN problem --- SV360 Elite

    Well, the blind scan is working properly now as are the other scan functions, etc. What I ended up doing was downloading the files from the satguys download section, taking those files out of the group that I thought would be useful and storing them on my computer. I first loaded the firmware...

    Which HD receiver would be right for me? Help me make a decision.

    I still have not made a decision, but what I know now about the AZboxes (especially the Premium Plus) is that the AZ boxes seem way too complicated for me. My computer is only a P3 at 450mhz. I have dial up ($10.00 month). I just haven't made the jump to broadband/DSL. Even with the government...

    Which HD receiver would be right for me? Help me make a decision.

    What is the BIG difference between the two? I don't necessarily need 4:2:2 if I can find football games without it. But if most of the football games are FTA in 4:2:2 then I know which way to go. So, are most football games broadcast in 4:2:2? Anybody know about Pansat out of business? I...

    Which HD receiver would be right for me? Help me make a decision.

    I have done a lot of reading but I can't make a decision on which HD receiver would be right for me. I also get confused when I look at the satellite lists from this site and another site as to which receiver would work for me to pick up those FTA signals in HD. Some of the channels on the...

    I agree with you. Certainly was educational for a newbie.:) I don't visit those sites anymore anyway. I find plenty of information I want to know on this site.:D

    Big BLIND SCAN problem --- SV360 Elite

    Thanks ya'll for giving me something to think about and check out. I had not heard of tp overload before. However, the thought is definitely worth looking into on my end. So, perhaps part of what is being said to me is that in addition to the tps that came standard in the firmware that more...

    Big BLIND SCAN problem --- SV360 Elite

    Yesterday, I tried blind scanning GB (97W/ Galaxy 11/Galaxy 17) for C band channels. The Blind Scan started okay, but about 57 seconds into the scan the blind scan screen suddenly reverts back to the DISH SETTING screen. I could not even exit out of the Dish Setting screen. The SV360 had...

    Where is THIS in the morning?

    Thanks for the help. I have a 7-1/2 foot dish. No, I have not tried the LO adjustment. The wind here is playing havoc with the dish lately, though this should not have anything to do with THIS right at the moment. I'll just keep thinking about what's going on.

    Where is THIS in the morning?

    What are the frequencies ya'll are using? I'll compare them to what I have listed. Funny thing though, all the other channels come in just fine in the morning. But not THIS. Any other ideas? :) Thanks.

    Where is THIS in the morning?

    Nope, I do not need to tweek the dish. I get the programming in the afternoon like I said. I miss Bat Masterson at 8:00 a.m. MST. Sometimes THIS shows a movie at that time. So...what gives with THIS to black out the programming on that satellite?

    Where is THIS in the morning?

    Ever since THIS on G4 Carribean was dropped and Live Well programming took over, I have had to watch THIS on the W3 satellite. However, the programming is not there in the morning. I start getting reception around 1:00 p.m.MST. So, I missed out on some horror movies today.:( Is THIS showing...

    The Cord Cutting Conundrum

    Interesting, sergei. Though I did not explore the rest of the Bridge to see what else might be said about the 1.56 million subscribers lost in 2010, the loss of subscribers is obvious -- unemployment and a tough economy. Yeah, when people look for luxuries to cut back on, pay tv would be one...

    HBO/Cinemax and Non W5 services To Be Deauthorized December 29th

    I just finished reading the entire thread. The more I read about the Discovery channel and contact information, the more I have become agitated. The Discovery Channel is all about the bottom line -- $$$$$. They will give you the appearance of transparency of their intentions and the words of...

    The Kill Hit

    Thanks for the information johnnynobody. I hope I am just paranoid about the kill and my subscriptions through SRL. I am still going to be as careful as possible during the hit season. Maybe I should go out and buy some camouflage material for the 922.:D
