Thanks for the info, and the addendum regarding the MENU/EXIT buttons. Should save a bit of frustration. To repeat chapelrun's question: How does this HDVR1200 compare with the Micro HD MPEG4? Second question: Is the HDVR1200 backward compatable with the DVR1100? Can the files recorded by...

As title says, Manhattan 1000 lost video. Tried different tv thru both ywr rca and rf, same result. Tried different receiver, works great. (Eliminates dish adjustment and LNB as culprits, tho I don't know how the audio could be received without the video.) Question- is this a simple fix...

I have understood that multiple receivers can be daisy-chained to a single LNBF by connecting LNB2 IN to LNB1 OUT, LNB3 IN to LNB2 OUT, ditto for #4 and possibly #5. Cable splitters are NOT to be used between the LNBF and receiver. Am I correct, or am I mistaken? More ??? When adding...

Thanks for responding. Not a total surprise; just hoping you might know something about this that I didn't. Swapping the LNB with a known good one just for testing was something I hadn't considered, but in this case, swapping receivers would be simpler for me. I would have to remove the LNB...

Found answer in sticky to 2nd question: NO, not compatable. Wasn't surprised.

How do I check? At a users home, got no picture from the Manhattan 1000. Brought it home to set it up for reception from G19, and it works beautifully, 13 channels, with a single signal bar of 86. Other receivers have have two signal measures, strength and quality, strength to indicate...

Replaced the LNBF and cable on the Topfield at the church. Getting 13 channels, even when I set it up here at home. My Geosat pro gets 51 video channels plus radio. I would guess the 13-channel limit on the Topfield is a menu or software limit rather than hardware??? How do I get more?

Thanks. Connecting the Topfield to my Glorystar at home was only a debug test to determine if the receiver is working. I took my Geosat to the church yesterday, and got the "no Signal", and no signal quality and no signal strength readings, which according to the manual says the LNBF is not...

There is 18+ vdc on the Sat In terminal. Is it possible that the two LNBF's installed on the Glorystar dish are somehow incompatible with the Topfield receiver?

The Topfield gives a "No Signal" message from the dish at the church, and gives the same message when connected directly to my Glorystar dish at home. If I loop it thru the Geosatpro 1100, the picture comes thru beautifully, except for Glorystar01a and ch 14, GCN? (I don't recall the exact...

Thanks much for your patient explanations. Have a Happy and Blessed Christmas and Prosperous New Year.

Thanks again for the explanations. Maybe brighter days ahead. Do the simple receivers, such as Topfield and Manhattan, get/need these updates? Or their own applicable updates? We are downloading with a Manhattan for broadcast over our LPTV and I haven't noticed it shutting down. Someone has a...

Thanks for the explanation. If it is a necessary update, why did they bother to ask? Just do it.I have a long string of failed recordings- the dvr changes channels on Monday nights, I learned. The clock is unreliable; I can compensate for that by starting 12 minutes early and ending 3...

What is it asking? I got that instead of my scheduled recording. HIGHLY FRUSTRATING. Is there a way to block such interruptions to scheduled recordings? Many Thanks.

Does the dvr have to ability to show space available on a connected drive, as % or gb or ??
