Thanks a lot.

any advise ?

The sellers on these receivers state that D* did not want to have them back. They are old, outdated models and not worth the shipping costs .

I am planing to purchase a old/used Directv HD receiver. The sole purpose will be to use it as a signal meter but for nothing else. I am spending a lot of time on the field to fine tune and my subscription receiver is often in danger of tropical rain damage. Ka signal meters are much more...

I understand that my location is similar to havanajoe. Havanajoe, what size of dish(s) are you using. Can you provide pics ? I am using an HR22 & SWM. My receiver will only boot up completely between 8am and 3pm. The other times my receiver will get stuck at 98%, sometimes earlier. The boot-up...

I switched now to a SWM set-up and things seem to have slightly improved. I do have less error messages about updates, the signal strength is still the same. Further I have tried a Sonora power amp LA281R but reception got actually worse. With the amp it dropped some 101W tps and also lowered...

GoalTV channel 456 is on 119W; I am a passionate soccer fan ! I am looking for 3 different power amps (Inline amps will not work sufficiently): * between 119W lnb and switch * between 103W lnb and switch (remember I am combining 119 and 103 with a PVDP-2PP before feeding it into the 6x8 and...

Ok, thanks Iceberg.

I am asking about the "Flexport". I could not find an exact description what these ports are for. What frequencies do the Flexports take/require ?

Has anyone actually tried these 2 Flexports ? It says they are for 72.5W and 95W. Could you also use the Flexport for 119W by using a separate round dish ? Thanks !

I am looking at these Sonora Power Inserters/Amps . . . rather complicated equipment. http://sonoradesign.com/content/tutorials/ any advise for a quality Amp for non-SWM or SWM (between Slimline (or SWM 8) and receiver ?

I have a rather complicated set-up. Due to my location I had to work with 3 different and large sat dishes and 4 separate LNBs for 99/101/103/119. see my set-up summery at: http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/309927-first-time-set-up/page47 I am using a Slimline5 multi-switch and a PVDP-2PP...

Today I had a few hours to fine tune DW-TV on IS-21. I had a viewable reception inside the house, after a ca. 120 foot long cable run but many drop outs and low signal warnings. Strangely close to the sat dish I had a much worse reception. I brought the receiver back into the house and the...

Since last night the satellite seems to be back to normal. Really strange: I had indeed the tv and receiver out on the field so I could eliminate any other possible problems. When I left at 4 pm I had the signal tuned up to max but it was still not good enough to produce a picture. The picture...

9:30pm picture has come back but the signal is still flickering (the link opens for me only if I copy and paste it into a new window): http://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=2hpRrASU9-Q&o=U
