    Is 4DTV HITS Finally Coming To End?

    Well well well, the death knell has been tolled :( We knew it was coming but we kept ducking-and-a-diving but they finally pulled the plug. Of course, I didn't know cos I didn't check Programming Center site, so when I got home yesterday, missus tells me the TV has gone off. We've a few boxes...

    HITS W5 AMC18 Provider ID

    hey waylew - thanks for the details - I read the link you sent me (for the 10th time!) and if I understand what I'm reading (????) - 1040 IS the EMM provider for the receiver from factory. I did a "soft conversion" to use HITS so did not do a EMM Provider Reset. I think that's why it still...

    HITS W5 AMC18 Provider ID

    how wrong can you be ??? Under Options 6,7,7,8,1 the EMM is 4160 not 4096 - so I've NO idea what the heck that is on Diag A or how to read it!

    Help with first C-band signal reception set up

    DSR410 losing satellite lock

    I had hoped it was that - but the another 410 on the same feed is fine. I've been searching and reading, there's a lot of references to a now defunct "Alan Judd" site - best I can tell I'm looking to replace all 16v 10uf caps. Cheers

    DSR410 losing satellite lock

    I have a couple of DSR410 units subbed to HITS on W5. All of a sudden 2 days ago one kept dropping the satellite lock, flashing red/green on the front panel. I've swapped cables between the 2 receivers but the problem persists on only one of them. Both polarities are affected. I'm presuming...
