    Conaxsat V1 Setup

    Thanks for the info, folks. I'll try this out this evening. Well, not new to satellites but brand new to FTA/DVB. I've had my C-Band set up for quite a few years now and just recently upgraded to the 4DTV -- love it, but a little nervous about the dwindling support (I really miss the true...

    Conaxsat V1 Setup

    I managed to find out how to enter the parameters manually and was able to get the Outdoor channels (and others on various satellites). The setup is similar to the screenshot you posted, Iceberg, with a 'TP Edit' option on the screen. I was unable to get the networks on G16 using the info...

    Conaxsat V1 Setup

    Thanks, Iceberg. This is all still pretty confusing to me... I've a lot to learn. I need to play around with the box a little more to become more familiar with it. As for what I've quoted above - could you explain this a little more, especially where you say to make sure TP1 is stored...

    Slaving FTA to existing C-Band setup

    Thanks, Iceberg (Wow, that was quick!) From the diagram in the link I assume that the DiSEqC switch isn't necessary. Also, I've seen some comments that recommend the splitter be DC blocked and I'm guessing that this is so both rx's are not sending DC signal at the same time? Are these...

    Slaving FTA to existing C-Band setup

    Long time lurker - first time poster here. Finally made the decision to try out this FTA thing and I'm awaiting the arrival of my new Conaxsat v1. My current set up is a 10-ft mesh, C-Band LNB only and a DSR-922. After reading through the many, many posts on this subject I'm still a...
