Thank you for all the help :up I have 2 related questions about CaptiveWorks. What the serial interface to it and what is it used for (I could not get much information from the user manual)? Are there any (better) interface software that can be installed on the device? Also, if I want...

Hi: I have a CaptiveWorks Satellite receiver as well as a Samsung one: - On Samsung, there is a setup called SMATV and wonder what that is and how that relates to other transponders - it receives some SMATV channels on it. Is SMATV a transponder? If so, what are its frequencies, symbol...

Hi IceBerg: Thanks:clap . So it seems that I should be set for the weekend. Do you have any thoughts on the Quality threshold or long cable between LNB and the receiver and if it is ok to be around 50’? By the way, is there any point getting a larger satellite dish or is there any signal...

Hi All: Thank you for all the help:up . After lots of trials and errors, I finally found a spot that gave me some quality fluctuating between 0 and 20, but still not good enough to get any channels through scanning. I have found a better place that I am going to try this weekend - it should...

Hi: Thank you all for you replies. I am going to try them this weekend. I went throught the menu for multiple satellite search again and found the following entries about the Telestar 5. Please let me know if they are correct or what they should be: LNB Frequency = Universal DISEqC...
