We've had a lot of solar running through the month of march...Even caused some problems with HF..so this could be the problems on several birds..with weak transponders acting up... I've not noticed any problems with my 7020 and Primestar setup..both working fine with good signals here...NC

this just sucks..it really does...bio looks like normal here but history was my favorite channel...

lov mine I really like mine, it has a home here until it dies!

Not a pub member Hi, I'm not a pub member but I've bought a couple of items from Iceberg. I had a great time, got some great gear and made a good friend! The guys selling items all seem to be honest and great about answering questions on items. Try them out, you will not be sorry for one...

this is just punked... This is just so...well whatever.... I guess they decided not to make use of those 1.2 million fta receivers they mention in their Mission Statement...If this ever takes off I am sure it will just be another Over Priced Pay Service in some form or fashion! Nothing about it...

Deer Hunting When I was a kid, it was much colder here where I live. I remember going hunting with my dad, that was so cool and a lot of fun. I hunted with dad through childhood and my teenage years. Dad stopped hunting for reasons unknown but I continued. For many years my father tended the...

Pansat 250sm I contacted Panarex concerning the 250sm also concerning the firmware. I felt it was lacking a lot as far as FTA was concerned. At the time I contacted them, they did respond and they did look into the problem I was having. Panarex suggested I re-install the factory firmware using...

DBEdit Most of the time the tp scan grabs all the info but if it misses something...I just add it using DBEdit... Example Galaxy 19 I think it is...memory isn't what it used to be...but at any rate, my 7020 scans that sat and doesn't miss any channels as far as I know... If it does miss...

Dreams I have several Dreamboxes, never saw a need for Blind Scan with them... I use an external meter with all of my receivers so lacking a meter never bothered me. I have used PLi for several years and with the right sat.xml file it would be hard to beat on C-Band or Ku-Band... Dreamboxes are...

Not on list I use my Coolsats on System 2.. I guess as a main but not on the list is Dreambox 7020 which I would've said main all purpose do anything receiver on system 1... then Neusat 6000P and 9000HD on my other system... and last but not least my Dreambox 500

I ground i ground all my amateur radios but I have never ground a long wire to be honest about it. I have a 10~160 meter dipole set up as an inverted v and never grounded it. Now I do ground the antenna tuner that it connects too. I've found that antenna tuners work much better with a ground...

ok You should not have any problems scanning in 97 with your 500... This is what I would do...l would start fresh with a new flash... get rid of all the old stuff that way.. then reload your new satellite.xml file after that then set up your lnb and make sure you are using the correct...

ground it If you haven't already done so maybe now is a good time to ground your dish. Ground the coax connectors as well and both lnb's and feedhorn... My Bud is grounded by 4 8 foot ground rods connected to the lnb's, feedhorn, and support arms, also directly grounded to to the inner part...

researching If we really dig into this matter it all and I mean all boils down to GREED. European nations was smart enough to not have stupid law suits and stupid laws based upon the wants of corporations. They might have a fee for a license to own a tv but at the same time they have...

maybe out of date satellites.xml generator / transponder .ini generator if you are using the channel list that comes with Pli you will have to reload it with a new one... the site I posted, you can create a new sat.xml file for all North American Sats..with new updated information.. good...
