I bought in..... and paid $10 extra for the HD - That is high definition robbery!! But I bought it and hopefully my guests will all chip in!! It could be one heck of a fight. We will see. De La Hoya hasn't produced a good fight in a long time.

Hello havoc72, I live in Lafayette and get a stronger signal than you do. My guess is that you need to reposition your antenna or bite the bullet and mount it outside. I can get a signal of 90+ on most signals from Indianapolis. I hope this helps solve the mystery.

I just bought this receiver a few weeks ago. I moved up from an earlier Onkyo model and couldn't be happier. You will be very pleased with the auto setup by Audessy. Once you set the levels with the supplied mic, you can tweak things from there. Although I must say that it did a pretty good...

You may have hit one of the buttons that allows you to control other devices. Be sure you have pressed the receiver button (not the tv/vcr/or dvd).

Up And Running - All Looks Well Update: VISIONSAT IV 200 PVR I've got the motor running/working and can scan most all the FTA channels listed. I think I will tweak the setting on 123w Galayx 10r or 87w AMC3 as they seem to have the most useful programming. I believe that with a slight...

The will be COMCAST after DEC 31. Yes, they offer very little HD but what they do have looked great at the time I suscribed. They have the biggest selection too (Compared to other local cable companies of which there are none.)

So far, I like it quite a bit. I'll really get to play with the features once I get the motor up and running. FED EX has the motor now so I should be installing it on Friday. I've all ready recorded some programming, moved it to my MAC, converted it to a .vid file and, success, I've got the...

Thanks for all the well wishes and advice. I'm now up and running AND I have a LACIE 300GB hard drive (Formatted FAT32) up and running as my FTA PVR. When the motor arrives, I am confident that I can find Galaxy26 from my start position and then scan/tweak for the next. I will update on this...

Thank you for all the input and support. I'm up and running AND managed to get the receiver to read my thumb drive. I thought I had updated the firmware but did not. If you hit OK and not the RED button when you choose which firmware to update, it doesn't actually update. Also, I had to...

Cheers, Tomorrow I'll aim for AMC3 - And I'll bring a Sharpie with me.

Do I dare try to find another with some PBS Feeds tomorrow? What other bird would others suggest?

I had the transponder input. The problem was my compass. Once I used the one supplied with the install kit, I found the satellite within 10 minutes. 97 W. It scaneed in 100+ channels and loads of radio stations as well. Now I know exactly what Satellite I will scan for when my motor...

Thanks for the info/support guys. I have taken a breather and am back at it. I just noticed that the readings on the compass I have been using and the one I just discovered in the set-up kit are different. Perhaps my aim has been off. I'd been using a magnetic compass an the one that came...

I've installed a positioned dishes for Voom, Direct, and Dish, and have never been as frustrated as I am with FTA. I simply want to find one satellite with FTA channels to learn more about my receiver before a replacement motor arrives. I've worked on getting a signal for several hours - I got...
