Well thanks guys! - Seriously - you just saved me several hours of tinkering. I will still get that Visionsat out of its box soon - I bought it to replace my Pansat 2500a when I thought it fried - turned out to be water in the coax. Off to check out the Dr. Who forum! ~K

So not even the OTA signal going from FOX to affiliates in a standard feed at x-o'clock, that sort of thing? What about the Boston FOX signal? that hit a bird anywhere? ~k

Howdy! Long time no post. Hadda baby about a year ago, or rather another baby. So no time for dish. Trying to get back in, hence my stupid question but experience to maybe pull this off. ANYWAY- I read that the Visionsat IV 200 PVR plus can pull HD onto the external usb drive, and I could...

I'll have to get a meter on the end of the line I think as well then - after 100' I wonder how much voltage is actually getting out there or am I going to need some sort of amp? ~kulakovich

I did wonder about my Pansat - it hasn't had heavy use and is well ventilated, but it also picks up H in the V and V in the H when I do a blind scan. If that makes any sense? The H and V pick up identical info, and I never seem to get a lot of channels compared to the Lyngsat list. ~kulakovich

Hey! Iceberg! Nice to see you again! Well that sounds like a relief. I wonder what is up with AMC6 and NASAtv then. I've shot them an email, of course who knows where it will end up. I'll keep working on it, and thanks! ~kulakovich

Hello everyone! I haven't been here for about a year, I had to offline my setup after another ground surge cost me my LNBs. Anyway, I am trying to get everything back in action (and in buried conduit), and ran into a problem that is sort of odd. Here's the deal. I have a norsat 20k c-band...

I'm with Mike123abc, install VMware and either dual-boot or just virtualize. I can have OSX and XP windows open simultaneously with XP either in the foreground (as desktop) or background (just the app windows). VMware Fusion Overview, Run Windows on Mac, Virtual PC on Mac - VMware ~kulakovich

Kinda late in the game to chime in perhaps... I use Safari and Firefox. Firefox renders large lists more quickly, but otherwise I enjoy both. As for Entourage, I use it for work since it integrates with Exchange/Calendar/etc. I use Mail.app for my personal account, though I find sometimes it...

Wow - thanks - I'll have to check that out. Sadly, I was turning back to NASAtv the other day and watched the dish stop, and then slowly tick off another 12 clicks. It was alarming. It moved right off the bird and into the black. I am going to google for dp710 - if I find any confirmed fixes...

(Hi folks!!) Is the 905 C/Ku? I thought it was C only?

Ok so I just found the "differences in 4dtv" thread, so I guess I'll be over there! Thanks to all who helped out, I am much closer to having good kids programming - just need to figure the 4dtv part, which I've managed to dodge for a while now! kulakovich

ah - so I am getting into a 920 at the very least then? Is that still Motorolla-or-nothing? Sorry for the dumb questions - I did my homework a while ago, but I'm sure its different now.

Hi! I do have Ku - I am guessing this is all digital though? I have a 650i - I heard that if you authenticate with your analog, you can still receive on your 2500a if you send the output from the analog to the digital - is that true? I have the GI650i, and I could hook it to my Pansat 2500a...

Hi folks! It would seem that when I first started assembling pieces and parts for this hobby a few years ago, that our a la carte services were mighty. Now, most places only offer 20 channels a la carte, with stipulations that you have to have 4-5 other services to even be allowed to order...
