    Don't know, but you might be confusing HD with digital tv.

    Outdoor Channel?

    I can't seem to find it on G10R, anyone getting it or have they scrambled? Thanks.

    Attention: We need your help!

    But that's how it starts, isn't it? Joe Geek, toiling in his garage, comes up with a way to watch great tv for free. He tells a few of his friends and makes up some equipment for them too. Word gets around and Joe is spending all his time making equipment. It's all small time, a few thousand at...

    Attention: We need your help!

    My take on it is that they see it as a market niche. They're hoping to convince potential buyers that there's a lot of good fta stuff to watch and then sell the equipment needed to watch it. Same ol same ole. I think ultimately it will lead to everything being encrypted and fta will go the...

    High Definition Channels

    Okay, here's the stupid question of the day, smile and shake your head if you must:) Our analog tv is finally dying and we're going to make the leap to HD. Will the hdtv alone display a hd channel such as Discovery (from my dsr922), or will I also need an HD200 box?

    Which is the most active sat for KU FTA

    With my setup (pansat 2500a slaved to a 922) I have to leave the 922 powered on, when I shut it off the servo reverts to vertical polarity. Pulled a lot of hair out learning this.

    Mounting Pole Indentation

    Thanks for the replies guys. I'll probably have to do something different at some point, but for now I've pinned it. Well worth the effort though as I now get good signals on stuff at G10R that was only marginal at best before.

    Mounting Pole Indentation

    I was fooling around with my dish yesterday and found I could get better signals by a small rotation of the dish, maybe a 1/16 of an inch. Trouble is when I tighten, the bolts want to go right back into their original indentations and I lose my gains. Anybody got a simple fix short of...

    strong transponder for g10r

    There are. But they're on the Ku band. Ice' already listed those available on the C-band side.

    Stuff like this makes me shake my head

    Their suspicions are not unfounded, I communicate with the Zargonians on the planet Zargon with my dish:D

    Are you leaving the 920 powered on while using the FTA receiver? I know this caused me no end of frustration until others here pointed out that you need to keep the 4dtv on to control polarity.

    blind scanning

    THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Finaly, after months of frustration! That was it, the 922 has to powered on to keep the polarity the way I currently have it set up. I just assumed it stayed on the channel I left it on when I turned it off so I could see the 2500a on the tv. I changed the 'tv out' on the...

    blind scanning

    Then my hookup must be wrong because I can't see the Pansat on the tv unless I shut the 922 off. How should I have it hooked up? Surely there must be at least one other member here who has a 922 hooked to a 2500a?

    blind scanning

    I know I'm doing something wrong but I'll be danged if I can figure out what. Probably something stupid, I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer. My problem is that I'm only getting half the channels I think I should be. I'm sorry about the length of this post but I'm gonna start from scratch...

    dsr922 remote

    Hi! Just picked up a nice dsr922 off e-bay to replace my aging 920. Got 'er all hooked up and working well. Only one small flaw that's bugging me. The battery cover to the remote is broken and needs to be taped on. Anyone know where I can get just a battery cover? Thanks.

    Thanks. The way my system is set up the only way I've found to program a new satellite is to find an active analog transponder, move the dish to it with the dsr920 hoping to find that signal, and then I can turn the Pansat on and look for dvb signals. I can't search with the Pansat until I get...

    Thank you, how bout a good Ku band signal to hone in on then?

    I was looking at the Lyngsat site and I thought it showed some C band transponders in NTSC? Must be reading the chart wrong:confused:

    Never had it on my system, thought I'd try to tune it in. Can anyone tell me of an active C band transponder right now?

    New, confused..help please?

    You may not need any new coax, a lot of c-band installs have a ribbon cable that includes a lead for Ku. Look at the back of your receiver and see if there is a lead that isn't connected to anything. If there is all you'll need is a new feedhorn and ku band lnb. Check E-Bay. The upgrade isn't...

    Dish Movement

    I took the motor off and turned the shaft completely out by hand and it seemed to turn freely so I don't think it stuck, the inner arm is clean. I swapped the 920 out with an old analog receiver and it still wouldn't move. When I hooked the 920 back up I got nothing at all, no noise at the...

    Dish Movement

    Switched the wires, no change. Also, I can hear the motor hum on the actuator when I input a request to move on the reciever.

    Dish Movement

    Dish will only move west (actuator arm retracting) won't go east. I can hear the 920 4dtv positioner click on and off in the house but no movement on the dish. I checked the arm, not binding. It had been working just moments before this started. Any ideas?
