    Considering New FTA System Mainly for PBS

    I have an extra 90 cm dish and what maybe a working lnb left over from the dual lnb GloryStar setup. I think I'll go for for a waist high location and try for 125W. My problem is too many trees so I'll have to search out a spot with a dip in the treetops to permit a line of sight to 125W. I am...

    NASA Eclipse 2017

    Great video! I live near Rosman, NC in the path of totality but it began to cloud up about 30 minutes prior. My wife was ill but I put on the glasses and could see the disc through the clouds so I found a good spot on my drive and rolled my wife out in a wheelchair. The clouds parted enough so...

    HDVR1200 S:80% Q:00%

    I took some actions. First I went back to the DVR1100c and all was well. Then I pondered the possibility that maybe the switch was the problem but didn't reconnect the HDVR1200 to see. Instead I did something I should have done long ago which was going to a single LNBF installation. I found my...

    HDVR1200 S:80% Q:00%

    I replaced my DVR1100c with the HDVR1200 with no changes to the dish. After completing the setup and the restart I experienced a Q:00% but it went away with a power disconnect/connect. Then all was OK until today, I turned it on late and it came up on Ch 106 and the Q:00% was back. Power...

    I think those that could officially answer my question are quite busy. I picked this up on the fta receiver support forum;

    How to Access HDVR1200 Manual

    Sounds like the church needs it more than me. PM me a shipping address (yours or theirs) and I'll send it on its way.

    How to Access HDVR1200 Manual

    Went through the set-up and all went well 'til the restart after that I had signal 80% but nothing in quality. I figured the set-up went OK as I had a channel list. I turned it off/on from front panel, still no quality and TV screen said no signal. I unplugged the transformer and re-powered and...

    How to Access HDVR1200 Manual

    I have the HDVR1200 Glorystar receiver but it comes with only an installation guide which says, "Download the latest GEOSATpro HDVR1200 Owners Manual at: www.geosatpro.com/manuals". However I can only find links to the MicroHD, two installation guides and two links to GEOSATpro DVR1100c, DSR100c...

    Equipment Needed for 125W?

    The AMC-21 footprint recommends a 130cm dish, would my 90cm dish be worth an effort, my location is western NC?

    Auto Updates

    Normally on Tuesdays I find my DVR-1100c on and set to channel 1. For at least two weeks this hasn't been the case. Do I have a problem or have we missed a couple of updates? My time was off a minute or so as well.

    Equipment Needed for 125W?

    I guess I had better wait and see how the MicroHD fairs with Glorystar before making any move.

    Equipment Needed for 125W?

    Would the DVR-1100c work for dish aiming at 125W? It would be nice to know that I have reception before purchasing a new receiver. Because of tree profile I have to select a spot to set up the second dish.
