What and where may I obtain the required codec to view DVR programs on my PC?

I am fairly new at Sat installing and have a system with an eratic signal on ch. 901 (90-20 on SQ). A couple of questions: 1. If the correct transponder and polarity are diplayed is it possible to have the wrong satelite (the signal bar never turns green)? 2. Can nearby electric lines cause the...

I am a volunteer installer and install these systems without charge. I am looking for sources for supplies at a reasonable price. Specifically, bulk coax and tools. Does anyone have any leads?

I have been told that Foretech Star is no longer available in North America. Can anyone confirm this? It seems that my remote control locks up and must be reset by removing the batteries and discharging the voltage. It will then work for a while before requiring another reset. A new remote...

Thanks to all of you! With all of the additional posts my question is answered. Hopefully, the firmware upgrade will be available soon.

Thanks for the response. I have adjusted the LNBF in and out, rotated, and adjusted the LNBF bracket for skew. Perhaps it is may be my location.

A quick followup if you have an antenna for local channels it would be connected to the DTV converter. The DTV converter will switch between local and Dtv leaving the Glorystar to switch between the output of the DTV and Glorystar.

I cannot answer the first question for certain but I think the two dishes need their own coax to the converter. To the second question, just connect the output of the DTV converter to the antenna input of the Glorystar converter. The Glorystar converter has two coax inputs - one to the dish...

Galaxy 19 has been renamed several times according to the Glorystar website. G25, Telstar 5, and T5 are among the several names. AMC 4 however, was replaced by SES1.

My system was purchased in 2008 and reinstalled recently in a different state. Even with the satelite update the firmware wants to align the system with 3ABN, 106, AMC4. Will this always be the case or will a firmware update rectify the problem to coincide with the current instructions?

Galaxy 19 comes in very well on my system (dual LNBF) but SES1 connot be raised above 25 on the quality. The operation of the LNBF is verified - it pulls in G19 at 65. Has anyone else experience a similar problem?

You may read the whole posting but I will excerpt it for you. Again, it is not my solution but it does work. To follow up, the special data codes are: 1010 Single LNB aimed at AMC4 - 101W 2020 Dual LNB aimed at both AMC4 - 101W and G19 - 97W 3030 Single LNB aimed at G19 - 97W DO a "Factory...

There is a previous posting by Zandarkoad "Frotec Mercury II no G-19 dealing with the same issue. See the response by WESCOPC. I tried this solution and it does work.
