Thanks again to all who have replied. Regular splitter did work but while my OTA signal is very good and I have a good sharp picture the satellite signal is degraded from what is was before combining. Do I maybe need an attenuator on the OTA side?

Thank you for your replies. I must be doing something wrong. I first tried running home distribution and my antenna through my combiner (which is a channel 3 modulator) but since the TV2 modulator setup wouldn't allow me to select channel 3 that didn't work (I could get the OTA channels using...

I recently was upgraded to a Dish 222k receiver with a dual satellite tuner. Does not have the optional OTA Tuner Module. My old system consisted of a Dish 301 single tuner receiver which I sent to several TVs located through the house. All TVs had to watch the same program but it was never a...

I have a DSR-920 receiver, battery has been changed, has a valid ID, and was mapped prior to the shutdown last January. I am not running C-band anymore and need to let it go. Skyvision is offering $50 plus shipping for them (and selling them for $239). Haven't checked ebay lately but there...

Thank you for the replies so far. Still haven't got it figured out yet. Here's what I have tried. I removed the actuator today, took the reed switch out, and checked each of the 4 magnets with another magnet. One seemed to be a little different (N/S poles were on opposite edges instead of...

Thank you for the reply. And thanks for the welcome to the forum. Do you think we can at least rule out a problem with the receiver missing the counts? One thing that I haven't figured out - what generates the pulses? I don't have the 5v output on the back of the receiver hooked up to...

I am using a DSR-920 and a Thomson Saginaw linear actuator with what I think is a reed switch. It has a disc with 4 magnets and a barrel type sensor with two wires out. My problem is it doesn't return back to the correct satellite position even though the counter is correct. Seems like it...

Thank you for your replies. Let me sum up everything I've tried. Tonight I put a magnet switch in (the one with 4 magnets on a wheel) in place of the 10k pot. I checked all wires for continuity - all OK. I checked all wires to make sure nothing was shorted - all OK. I have 5v out to the...

just checked 5v, pulse, and ground are all continuous. anybody have any ideas? try the reset?

Thank you for the reply. Are you saying short the pulse and ground? I can try that but it is more than the counts not getting to the receiver I think. The counter number will move a couple either way, but then it will not go past the limit number even though the dish may move. Tried a warm...

I am having a problem that I can't seem to fix. My DSR 920 had been having problems going back and forth between satellites - would lose counts and not end up on the satellite. So I was constantly having to retune. Then it basically just quit moving. Always got the reached limit error no...
