I'm running a 7.5 dish also and do experience the same digital problems so I won't address that, enough people have chimed in about that. I will address the momentary freezing, go into your receiver audio settings and switch the audio setting to bitstream. I had this same problem on Anik and by...

Hi Thanks for all the input. I've taken the 6 foot down and gone back to the 7.5 foot. The reason I extended the pole and went with the 6 foot solid because my pending garage was going to block the dish. I am going to have to re-think this whole thing. I have a 12 foot dish sitting in the...

Hi Guys I took down my 8 foot dish and put an extension on the pole and put up a 6 foot solid dish. I am now working about 15 feet above the ground which makes adjustments a challenge. Here is my problem: The pole is level all around, I have set the declination and elevation and triple checked...

Hi I recently purchased a Manhatten RS 1933 receiver. I dumped the firmware to a usb and found it was dated 2008, upon accessing the receiver information it say the firmware is version 3.7 dated january 2011. I don't think this is right because I have no disequ 1.2, no limits, no usals and the...

Thanks for the information Jorgek. I have a serial cable and both ends have a female adapter. I'm assuming this is the cable you are referring to. I to will have to get an adapter. Once I obtain the proper connector and find the firmware patch how do I go about doing this. Thanks

Hi I have two s9 open box receivers and one s10. The one s9 stopped working and I was installing the second s9. I wanted to put the same firmware on this unit however I mixed up the firmware and put the s10 firmware on the s9. Yes you guessed it it won't work. Is there any way to fix this or...

Pentagon channel is on 101W

Others will argue but my experience shows a 6 foot solid has the same signal as 8 foot mesh, and 8 foot solid equals 10 foot mesh, and 10 foot solid equals a 12 foot mesh. I've connected a couple of C/Ku on a single dish and found the C band suffers considerably. I wouldn't recommend it. One...

Thanks for the information but I don't know how to do what your telling me. I know how to dump the firmware to a usb flash drive and how to upload it to the receiver but that's about it, and I don't know where to find S16 ALI Editor.

I recently acquired an openbox s16 receiver and upon firing it up realized it was loaded with eastern satellites. Does anyone know where I can download the western sats. for this receiver. I checked sat guys no s16 firmware. Thanks

Thanks for the info.

I haven't had much luck setting up 2 lnbf side by side on my 7.5 dish. One for C band and the other for 4DTV so I am looking at buying a 6 footer for 4DTV. The question is, the 6 foot dish I'm looking at only has an adjustment for elevation ( this is a prime focal dish) and nothing for...

Thanks Anole: reading your last post even makes my head hurt. I've already gone with the simpler sugestion, just waiting for the parts.

Thanks for the info.

There probably is however I have an LNBF so I can't use that option and I don't have cabling out at the dish for skew adjustment. I was just wondering if anyone has run into this or has done the same thing. I will probably buy another LNBF and try to mount it below the first. If that doesn't...
