you won't get all the important HD channels on BEV from SF. Trust me on this one, to save yourself a massive headache and heartburn, order a starchoice system and you will enjoy stable signals on all channels.

I do.......Comcast HD is a little better, however I haven't done an apples to apples comparison on the same tv. What's great about having both is that I can watch a lot of different NFL games, NHL games, and timeshift a lot of programs.

haven't tried it yet, but I will try tonight. I also searched the site and saw a post where someone recommended quickly turning off and then on the receiver. I'll give that a try too. LIke I said, the variation is puzzling.....on ABC-HD east, it's quite frequent, but on CBC-HD, or PBS-HD...

jumbo, I tried your suggestion, and it seemed not to make a lot of difference. I notice that some channels are worse than others, and some channels I can hardly tell is there is an audio drop. Is it possible that it's related to rg6 cable length or signal strength? My worst channels (off...

I'm experiencing some frequent audio dropouts/pops on my DSR505, either through the normal audio or optical ouputs. Does anyone have this same issue? My version now is 00.34 .......thanks

keenan, I get all my channels just fine. On NBC-HD east, I had a signal strength of 66 and EdbNo of 8.4. Are those similar to yours? I apologize for asking such detailed questions but I'm a psycho when it comes to getting everything just right.

keenan, what strength and EcB do you have on the HD/French channels after you activated your system? This would help me figure out if I will need to tweak my skew after activation.....

94558 Keenan....I also have the 505.....how do you check the signal on the Anik E2? I only can see the "A4" satellite at a strength of 85, and EcB of 10.5

Keenan, so i used kusat's calculations originally.....how do I use these? Do I enter in Anik F1 and use the negative polarization (-18)???/....thanks

I have setup the 75 cm, dual lnb with DSR505. No authorization yet. I get the channel list except for HD and french. I have 85 signal strength. I can watch a few preview channels, like 200. I used a skew of 78. Prior to activation, is there any chance that I would know if I have the skew...
