Thanks Sadoun (Judy). I am out of town this week. I will get the receiver in the mail to you next week.

As I previously mentioned, the new SatHawk PVR800 HD box arrived with loose screws bouncing around inside it. I emailed Sadoun and I got a reply stating that I should go ahead and open it up and remove the loose screws. When I got into it I found the screws and put them into the holes that...

I got the new SatHawk HD from Sadoun today. That was a fast order turnaround that took UPS two days plus the weekend. As I unpacked the receiver I could hear something loose in it. I can see a loose screw through the ventilation holes of the box. Probably just a simple thing to remove the...

Thanks for the additional information about CW. When I have the dish pointed that way I will give it a try. I will probably be using a Sathawk by then. The people at Sadoun are fast. I ordered the Sathawk HD box at 9:30 AM and I had the tracking number for it back from Sadoun at 10:34 AM...

You asked what box I am using. I have an nfusion Pheonix box. I learned after I got it that it is a very popular box for hacking and that was never my intention. I use it for FTA only and it does a fine job for me other than it could stand a few more features. A blind scan would be a big...

I have been looking at what is listed as being available as FTA programming on Lyngsat. More of the HD stations seem to be coming available all of the time. I do not have an HD box and have been planning to get one to use in place of my standard box. I would like to first ask a few questions...

wvxf sound I did not think that wvxf would be AC3 since it is not listed on Lyngsat that way. I then went to "the list" on this forum. It lists this station as being AC3 on the sound. Since it would not work I assumed that to be correct information. The list also shows the ION channels as...

Thanks for the no sound help Thanks everyone for your kind responses to the no sound on WVXF. Thank you woodheat/nooil. I tried what you suggested and went to the sound menu and selected the other option. I now have sound on that channel as well as on the stations that I was already set for...

Hi everyone, I just put up a 6 foot dish with the DMX742 c/ku band lnbf. I bought them from Sadoun and installed them next to my three ku dishes that I have up. I am watching all of this with a Mercury II box. The installation seemed easier to me than what it was with an offset ku dish. I...

Hi, I have been using a Mercury II for a few years now and I decided to buy another box for a backup. So I set out to buy another FTA box and I got an nFusion Phoenix. Suppose to be a top of the line from what I have read. I bought it in March of 09 and recently decided that I should get it...

Thanks everyone for the answers to my questions. Iceberg, I have read some of your writing on this forum so I knew that you was just a short distance north of me. I am just south of Lake Sarah about 12 miles north of Slayton. These things do not always work the way that one would expect. I...

Hi, I have been viewing the Ku band FTA for some time now. I would also like to get some C-band programming. I have no experience with C-band. I would appreciate it if some of you that know would tell me if this will probably work. I am considering the possibility of installing a Geosat...
