    Inexpensive HD receiver from Amazon

    I've had a similar GT Media for several years. No issues, gets along fine with my SG2100 and receives everything. I feel that I got plenty for what I paid. What am I not supposed to like about it...other than it's not a boy scout/Dudley Do-Right approved model?

    OTHER FTA newb trying to set up a GT Media V7 pro need help

    I have the V7 2SX which is probably the same. I think Galaxy 19 for North America was the only preprogrammed bird and the rest were Eastern. With the way things change, anything preprogrammed is a waste anyways. You need to go into the setup menu and select Add (I think it's the red button)...

    Did something change with AMC21/125W?

    Ok, so this is what I'm currently finding on 125: 11841 H 12048 H 12005 V 12180 V I opened a new slot and did a fresh blind scan to rule out previous saved locations. I thought maybe it was a problem with receiving 8PSK, but NBC feeds like Cozi work fine and Lyngsat shows that as 8PSK. I'm...

    Did something change with AMC21/125W?

    I'll have to check tomorrow to see what they were. I had the stb at the dish in the backyard earlier and haven't hooked it back up in the house yet. I'm in NW Indiana (near Chicago) and Montana has always been a bit sketchy, but the other channels were always solid. 123W is coming in without...

    Did something change with AMC21/125W?

    A few months back I lost all the PBS feeds on 125W. It's been ages since I realigned my dish and finally got around to it today. I have everything adjusted nicely on USALS from 87 to 123, but I still can't get anything on 125, even with manual tweaking. Since Galaxy 18 is working fine, I...

    What is the cheapest FTA DBS-2 reciever you can get?

    I bought my X2 Premium Mini off Amazon for $35 about 6 months ago. Not sure what happened, but soon after they doubled in price and then completely disappeared off Amazon. I'd really like to buy a backup. It's been an incredible receiver up until last Saturday. I noticed new firmware was...

    I caught the bug and need a new receiver

    X2 Mini Premium HD. Bought mine off Amazon this spring and I love it. It does everything near perfect and it's 100X more than I expected for the price. Firmware upgrades can be done easily over wifi and they average one every other month. It also has built in internet TV channels and movies...

    Galaxy 19 on a 24 inch dish?

    I'm also in Indiana and a 39" will work great for you. I bought mine new off ebay from a vendor in Canada for $140 including shipping. That also included a universal LNB and the SG2100 motor. Been working great for at least 6 years now. LNB failed about 2 weeks ago but that was from a...

    Galaxy 19 on a 24 inch dish?

    What did you end up paying for a 24" dish? I had a 24" DirecTV dish that I took out of service when I went FTA and a some big oval Dishnetwork triple LNB dish that was included with a used receiver I bought. I could NOT GIVE THEM AWAY. Didn't want them taking up space in my garage so I put...

    Lightning strike

    Ok...read through more codes and worked on my grounding today. I did not have a ground block at my house for the dish planted in the backyard. That's been corrected. I have a #8 ground running from that going to an 8' ground rod that my rooftop antenna also attaches to. That ground rod is...

    Lightning strike

    Holland SA-1F Thanks, I'll give these a try. They seem reasonably priced too. I've heard of the loops mentioned from HAM guys, but many think it's a myth. Either way, it's free and can't hurt.

    Lightning strike

    Nope. No signal and no motor movement which is why I disconnected the LNB after the fact during troubleshooting. Plugged the X2 back in, turned it on and the motor now worked perfect with the LNB disconnected. Pretty sure the spike traveled in from that direction. Damage was contained to...

    Lightning strike

    Few days ago I was watching TV and then went downstairs for a few minutes. Out of nowhere a bad storm rolled in and I immediately pulled the plugs and antenna connections on everything downstairs. As I was heading back up, the house lit up with a loud buzz and then the deafening thunder crack...

    X2 Premium Mini HD Review

    There must be some type of backup battery or capacitor that isn't working in yours. Did you get the black or orange model? I thought they were the same but I noticed different downloads for each color on their website.

    X2 Premium Mini HD Review

    Not sure why you're having clock issues. Mine has been off (literally unplugged) for the last 40 hours and my time and date are spot on. As I mentioned above, did you set your time zone and summer time settings? If not, it will NEVER be correct.

    X2 Premium Mini HD Review

    Few updates: I have a remote switch that kills the power to my entire home theater when not in use and the clock settings stay accurate even with no power. You do need to set the correct time zone for your area in the auto settings, otherwise you'll be off by whatever the default area is...

    X2 Premium Mini HD Review

    It has manual or auto for the clock in settings. Unfortunately it's a 24 hour format and no way to change it to 12 hour.

    X2 Premium Mini HD Review

    So far I really like this box. So much that I'm becoming deprived of sleep. Currently just one gripe and that's audio sync. At times, it starts out perfect and then after several minutes it gets slightly out of sync (words just don't quite line up with lips). Sometimes it'll eventually come...

    X2 Premium Mini HD Review

    Mine arrived earlier this week from Amazon. Spent little time with it but so far I'm very impressed. I currently have just two issues...YouTube (because of yet another format change) and I can't stream HD channels to my Android tablet. Standard channels stream to it perfectly and I like that...

    Cozy TV Schedule is On Titan TV

    And if you read the post above mine, you'll see that IS the schedule effective as of January 1st. Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman are the only two shows that other stations haven't seemed to pick up yet. An NBC affiliate needs to do much better than that if they want to compete with all...

    Cozy TV Schedule is On Titan TV

    Just noticed it the other day on OTA 5.2 out of Chicago. Since it's affiliated with NBC, you'd think they could acquire the rights to something worth watching. Is that listing supposed to be competition for Me TV, Me Too, Antenna TV and RTV? So far it seems to be as bad as River Broadcasting...

    Huntington Beach is now in HD!!!

    What purpose does this beach cam serve? Same goes for those feeds that show the white house? Are they some form of security like highway cams? Place holders? Entertainment for the living dead? There must be some reason for the resources being used to keep it up and running. And who's paying...

    without signal on RTV on AMC 9 Ku @ 83 W (RTV, TUFF, PBJ)

    I'm at a solid 30 and have yet to lose a picture or have any freezing during the past week or so. Are you guys with low quality numbers having viewing issues? As long as my receiver indicates at least 3, I have perfect picture and sound...no difference between 3 and 100. If you can still view...

    without signal on RTV on AMC 9 Ku @ 83 W (RTV, TUFF, PBJ)

    Why don't you just go to the main menu, simply press the blue button and do a blind scan? In less than 5 minutes you'll have everything available on that satellite.
