    SC505 keeps pixeling when signal is good?

    It was the wind. I readjusted just slightly and my signal strength moved to around 88 and my signal quality numbers increased to as high as 6.3 on some of the HD channels. Thanks.

    SC505 keeps pixeling when signal is good?

    I have the 75e dish but my area has had heavy sustained winds. I guess I need to readjust my dish alignment. I will try to do that this week and let you know. Thanks.

    SC505 keeps pixeling when signal is good?

    I did as you said and my readings were below 5.0 mostly 4.4 and 4.6. What should I do to get my readings above 5.0 to improve my signal quality? Thanks for your assistance.

    SC505 keeps pixeling when signal is good?

    I'm having the same problem. My HD channels break up every few seconds. I tried to watch 20/20 West Coast feed last night and could do it because of the breakup. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? My signal strength is in the 70's.

    Advice on getting waiver approved

    I have Dish and currently have waivers via All American Direct for CBS and ABC E/W (Atlanta/San Francisco). I also asked last December for FOX to be approved but they denied my claim in January. I called All American Direct and they told me to contact my local station again to ask them to...

    ? About Dish Network and Starchoice

    I have Starchoice and Dish Network in my U.S. home. I'm getting an upgrade tomorrow to my Dish system. Should I be concerned that a Dish installer comes to my home and sees my Starchoice receiver and dish? Dish hasn't been at my home since I installed my Canadian system. Have any of you ever had...

    Forgotten Password for Parental Lock

    Thanks Iceberg...I use a Canadian broker for services. I was just wanting to avoid calling them to do this task. I thought maybe a memory dump existed that I could access and recover my password. If anyone else has done this themselves just let me know.

    Trouble setting up 75cm elliptical + DVR 530 for SC

    I set up my system in West Texas and I finally used Mike Kohl's coordinates and the next thing I see is a signal reading over 80! If you use the above numbers you will be watching Canada very soon.

    What is involved in getting Starchoice in Florida?

    I don't know who can do the installation, but you can make your purchase with Kusat of Canada. I recently used them and had no problems getting my dish and receiver.

    Loss of Program Guide

    I unplugged the unit for about 30 seconds and replugged it again and it worked! Is it best to shutoff the receiver at night (that's what I did last night).

    Loss of Program Guide

    Got everything going and all channels are working properly. I turned off my receiver last night at around midnight before going to bed. Woke up this morning and my program guide says "no data" for all channels. Later when I pushed the "guide" button it wouldn't go to the guide. Therefore, I have...

    Need Some Help!

    I installed my *Choice satellite and receiver today. The process took about six hours! It took forever to locate the satellite but using a monitor and the receiver on the back of my truck I eventually got the signal. My signal strength locked in at 86. I called TVM to activate programming but...
