    Linkbox 9000i Local and 4DTV 922 dish Mover

    I will be using the 922 only as a dish mover. Thanks for the reply!

    Linkbox 9000i Local and 4DTV 922 dish Mover

    I have a Linkbox 9000i Local to hook to and use with my 4dtv 922 and 10 ft C-band with Ajak horizon to horizon when SRL cuts off service. I also replaced my Chapparal polarrotor feedhorn with a Titanium Satellite C1PLL C band LNBF. Do I hook the 922 to the loop through of the 9000i and tell the...

    Wanted old DSR-920 or 922 for parts

    I have 3 non-working 920's you could have for free if you have someone to pick them up. I live northeast of Dallas.

    Soapnet mapped in on X4

    No SOAP I subscribed to the Get-it-all-Pak over the weekend. Soap shows up in the Guide, but when I tune to it - it shows "Not Subscribed SOAP X4 291". I called SRL and the agitated sounding CSR said they "Don't sell that channel" and it wasn't listed in their pak. Seems...

    922 is messed up big time

    Just moving off X4 seems to screw up the guide on my 922. We have had severe thunderstorms almost daily for the past week. Since I have an horizon-to-horizon mount, I try to move my dish to where it is edge on (or as close as I can get it) to the approaching storm. That way the hail damage seems...

    DSR 922 Time

    I was able to confirm this problem with my 922. I subscribe to Pick 10 and Starz. NGC is in my Pick 10. I went to NGC numerous times and every time I did, the time advanced one hour on both the receiver and the guide. When I went to other channels in my subscription, the time in my receiver and...

    4dtv Mapping

    I had the generics on my 922 before and after I did the conversion. When I went to X4 to do the activation and re-hit, my 922 locked up. I tried everything I could think of, including a soft re-set, but couldn't get it functioning. That's when I did the master re-set and lost my generics. I have...

    4dtv Mapping

    After the conversion, here is what I had after my master reset on my 922 with only C-Band LNB: W2 W3 T4 G7 T6 G3 T5 G6 W4 W1 E2 M1 M5 GO G5 G9 T7 C3 G1 C4 C1 To get X4 to come in, I set G1-13 on the location I knew for W5/X4. X4 came in between W1 and E2. After X4 came in I had all the...

    The Official 4DTV Maps Experimentation Thread

    I just read on the "other" forum that a member has been able to back up the maps and other data on one 922 and make a clone of that 922 to another. He used a BDM cable and software from usbjtag.com. Has anyone here heard of that? On reading newer posts, it seems the clone was not entirely...

    Final Conversion Instructions for all models at 4DTV Online

    What did you do to recover from the master reset? I have a 922 that locked up after I tried the conversion process and tried a rehit through Websams. Websams reported an "Unknown Error". After I tried to recover doing a soft reset and failed, I did a master reset. Like you said - big mistake.

    plead for help locating a dead DSR920 for parts

    I have three dead 920's. Two of them have dead batteries and was keeping for parts to fix the third. The third went bad a couple of years after I had replaced the battery. I would be willing to send one with dead battery if you pay the shipping from NE Texas and do whatever paperwork is...

    Guide Info after 01/05/11

    I have been into C-Band since 1980. I built my first C-Band receiver from scratch. (I am a retired antenna/RF engineer now). I use my 922 as a dish mover and generics for programming I can't get with my slaved dvb receiver. That is my primary passion, not subscription C-Band. I was going to have...

    Guide Info after 01/05/11

    I currently have the W5-Superpak and All Starz and was thinking of the same after 01/05. But that's too many channels to have to go somewhere else for information so I guess I won't subscribe unless/until they get the guide back on my 922.

    Guide Info after 01/05/11

    I have a 922. My subscription with SRL is up the 23rd. I am not going to let my 922 turn into a 410 because I want to keep my generic satellites. If I subscribe to something on W5 after 01/05/11, will I get guide information ?:confused: I consider a subscription useless if I don't know what's...

    How much did you spend for your 4DTV

    I hate to say over the years. I have three dead 920's and am using a 922 I purchased from NPS several years ago. I have been into C-Band since 1980 and still have the first receiver that I built. I don't remember how many dead or obsolete store bought receivers I have, but I have them stored in...
