Update. Well, it was a polarity problem. I just did'nt fully understand how polarity was being set. Since its "set" (in my case) by the 4dtv by changing channels, the FTA receiver can only show channels of whatever polarity the 4dtv is on. Same goes for scanning in the FTA channels. Anyway, If...

The only way I know how to set polarity is to position to a satellite with the 4dtv and then select a channel. This shold set the polarity I think. Then I turn control over to the 2700a. Is there another way to "set polarity" (maybe on the 2700a_ ...

Thanx, Jeff. I will study the FAQ's and LynngSat as suggested. But what is the setup/concept when you say you point at an FTA bird (i assume using the 4dtv and then use your FTA receiver_. Can you explain the relationship between the 4dtv and the FTA (how it works). What is smart card slot and...
