    "fast forward and skip forward are not available for this program"

    I'm sick and tired of this feature that does not work on far too many On Demand programs. I'm trying to show my husband the end of one HGTV program and cannot go forward or backward. This isn't exactly great for shows that want to expand their audience. It's infuriating is what it is.

    Not now they don't. I cannot go forward or backward on a lot of them. It's infuriating

    Last of the BUDS in my area now gone

    Thanks to this forum on BUDS an enthusiast from NW OH came last Saturday and picked up my KTI dish, a smaller FTA dish I had, and all the receivers manuals, pole, etc. I got my use out of it all and am glad to give my stuff a new home! Yard looks a little strange. Been 25 years from a 10 ft. to...

    Last of the BUDS in my area now gone

    I still have a large KTI dish and 4DTV 920 receiver that I want to give away. I just disconnected it for the last time this week. Satellite guys refurbished my 920 about 1 1/2 years ago. Had to have a bud out here 25 years ago when nothing was offered. Got one, got scrambled, waited it out...

    No Channels on 920

    No Channels on 4DTV I also have an FTA but have always had my GI 4DTV with 7' dish as backup. Just had the same problem. I tuned in W5 and was going to get a bigger subscription and everything was gone. NO DC light to get a hit. The guys at ATS sent me an LNB and I changed it--still nothing. I...

    UHF Antenna on 4DTV receiver Got a quick question. What is the little antenna on the back of my 920 4DTV receiver for? It states UHF?

    I just checked the voltage from my receiver and at the lnb end and I am getting 20.3 everywhere. I am getting power to that new lnb. I checked the feedhorn. Chapparal/Corotor. I should probably send my receiver into ATS to be checked out. I may have found someone in Toledo that can come out but...

    I did that. I'm using only my 920 receiver. I got my east-west limits back. I don't think this is the problem anyway. I had trouble with my receiver and believe I will probably be sending it into ATS. I've written them about changing the lnb and it didn't work. So there are only so many things...

    I desperately need an installation manual for my 4DTV with 920 sidecar. I have none. My receiver will no longer respond after announcing my dish reached its west limit way under the number that was there originally for it. When I was on G1 05, the east limit originally read 4628 and the west...

    Someone help me get my dish limits back to normal. No sense sending the receiver in for problems when the dish isn't tracking correctly anymore.

    Gotta tell ya. I messed with the satellite limits east and west and the whole dish is screwed up now. Now I really need help. I wrote down the east and west limits for G1 05 but can't make them change back now. Now it says GI05 is beyond limits. What a mess.

    Messing with east and west limits finds nothing. I'm not bringing a picture in or getting a DC signal. I think it's my receiver. Am going to find someone I can send it to I guess. Anyone know where I can get a proper installation manual for my GI 4DTV 920? The manual I have is not right, it...

    BTW--Thanks again for all the help.

    ATS Electronics suggested a new lnb. I believe I have a chapparal feedhorn but haven't been out there to look yet. I'm going to mess around with G4 again. That's where I was having receiver problems and getting hung where I couldn't do options or anything. I just avoided that satellite, which...

    Thanks but no channels. Not a polarity thing. Had a big dish for 20 years and have had that happen before. Not this time. I'm not getting anything. Weirdest thing I've seen especially with new lnb. My 4DTV receiver worked partially even after it fell one time. The receiver is pretty tough. I...
