Thanks Bob and Ken - a Maxtor 500GB One Touch Plus it will be. james

Hello, the HD on my 1000ci is 'sometimes failing.' I suspect I'll be ordering a new 1100c before long. I know Glorystar has listed Maxtor and Western Digital as being 'OK.' I went to Amazon and reviewed both. In general, the reviews on both were on the 'scathing' side. Like: "Don't buy -...

Thanks shibby191 and Iceberg. The unit stays in storage - james

I have a sometimes ailing GEOSAT pro DVR1000ci. I'm, like many others, waiting for the new DVR 1100C. I have an old DirecTV DVR with two-harddrives. Can I use this DVR in place of my GEOSAT DVR 1000ci? I know, I could take it out of storage and try it - but, maybe some of you folks could...

Maybe if I 'blunt' the points?:)

Thanks RedSavina, That's an interesting thumbnail. Since Glorystar tended to categorize the bird dropping problem as minimal, I'll probably {try} to ignore the droppings. I'm thinking supergluing tacks around the top portion of the rim should cause the birds to seek another perch - james

Thanks Glorystar. I like your idea of a decoy hawk. Glued on tacks would really work - james

Has anyone concluded that bird poop on the dish can interfere with reception? Or is it a non-issue? If it is an issue, has anyone devised a bird roost deterrent? If I could teach the bird(s) to face the other direction when roosting . . . - but I guess that's easier said than done...

Thanks Iceberg for the fast and very detailed response. I'll most likely try the switch this weekend, when the neighbor lady will watch the signal on the monitor. I'll post back if problems arise. Thanks - james

Hi, About a year ago, with considerable assistance from Iceberg et al., I converted from a single LNB aimed at AMC 4 satellite {SDA channels}. I ended up with a 'workable' compromise between the aiming of the two LNBs. Now, I no longer need/want the 3 SDA channels. I want to convert...

Thank you Glorystar! 'Motor' selection WAS set to USALS. I changed it to 'OFF.' Thanks - james

Thanks wescopc. I'm still getting acquainted with this new {to me} Glorystar System - james

I completed the dual LNB upgrade almost a week ago. Works fine. One question: two or three times, I'm greeted with the message: 'Antenna Moving.' This message sits atop the channel display window. I don't think my antenna IS moving. It's been in place with the single AMC4 LNB for over a...

Iceberg, I agree. 3ABN remained exactly the same. LLBN {my favorite} remained almost if not the same. Hope, did dip to approx 50, but picture appears healthy. Thanks for all your help. it really helped - james

Thanks wescopc. I needed to hear that - james
