Just to post an update, decided to check AJE this morning and something has changed, the Solaris is displaying the video. However the box freezes if any on screen displays come up. Very weird. Seems it still doesn't like the widescreen feed to much.

Thanks for the replies, you have given me some ballpark sizes, and sadly confirmed my suspicion 10 feet is probably too big. The tower is for ham radio operation, but may come down next spring since due to the layout of my lot there is a point on my roof actually higher than the top of the...

So I think I may need to get involved in C band for the true FTA experience. Can anyone offer some suggestions on what the smallest dish I could get by with for decent C band performance would be? I have a small lot and not even sure that I have a good view so I don't want to get a lot of...

Wish I could get this at my house, but I have to choose between 97 and 95... 97 just has more.

Yeah I think it's on 95W

CCTV is not on 97W that I am aware of.

This would explain why I have been having video trouble with AJE for the month of October. My nFusion Solaris apparently can't handle the widescreen video, the picture jumps every second and looks squished. Any suggestions for replacement FTA boxes? I only have a 80cm dish pointed at 97w but...

Wow, if it can, not easily. I've used a splitter on the end of a diplexers VHF/UHF leg to allow me to combine Off-Air and the backfeed, but this didn't work very well due to the high isolation of the splitter... Adding Cable TV into the mix doesn't sound possible to me... maybe an expert can...

Dish has done this to me before too. I used to have autopay, but then they "accidentally" double charged my account. I called them the same day, and they managed to get it straightened out -- but it took them 20 days to get the money back in my account. And guess what? I didn't call them 3...

I guess I don't get what the big deal is. Obviously their putting a note in your account, do you think the billing subsystem reads notes on the account? No, it expects that for things like that you call in and have it done by hand. My time is pretty valuable, but I don't think doing a web...

Yeah I have to agree, this deal seems a little close to April Fools but what the heck, sign me up too! I'm getting a 922 either way.

It appears that I am within coverage of the following spotbeams: Spotbeam 18 Spotbeam 19 Spotbeam 23 Spotbeam 24 Spotbeam 28 Spotbeam 29 ?? How do I tell what is on those beams?

I live in zipcode 52404, and my local NBC affiliate went to VHF, which means I can no longer pick it up. In the past, I "moved" to Chicago to get Chicago locals on 129, but I think I've heard that those moved to spotbeam. Are there any locals on 129 that would be available in my area that I...

I think this is the broadcasters. I noticed many of them are placing their station bug right on the edge of where a 4:3 TV would display, with a little "HD" logo next to that. I'm guessing that stations are converting from an "also HD" to a primary HD format, and just continuing to feed the...

I've used SDTV connected to both TV1 and TV2 outputs on my 722 without any issue. Deep in the menus there is an option to sync TV1s audio to HD output or SD output, you need to change that otherwise you might have a tiny bit of lipsync issue. Otherwise, it will work fine.
