    Active has Arrived!

    The D10 firmware upgrade makes the User Interface much better. When channel switching, graphics are clearer and it no longer black screens to an unavailable channel. I have not yet figured out how to use the mix channels. It looks like a good idea that may not have much use. But I miss...

    Is spike tv special ?

    Please bear with me because I am learning as I go. The servo is the mechanism in the feed-horn that controls the H or V polarization selection (odd/even tp). On sat G0, my even tps seem to work but the odds do not. On sat G5, both the odds and even tps work fine. Could the servo operation...

    Is spike tv special ?

    I have 4DTV and programming from Superstar. Am trying to receive spike tv without any luck. I am on satellite G0 receiving tp 16 (TVland) just fine. But tp 19 (spike tv) gets nothing. When I move to G5 tp 19 I get USAnet just fine. So if tp 19 works and I am on G0 what could be wrong that...
