I don't know if anyone else has had this happen to them... I have an HR20 HD DVR and yesterday out of the blue I got a call from a tech at DTV who said that they noticed that my DVR has been displaying "Searching for Sat Signal" more than the average... He went through a bunch of stuff trying to...

Hello everyone, I've been looking at reviews and ads for a while, but haven't found a decent media player set top box yet... I'm specifically looking for the following specs (which I don't think are too extreme): - Ethernet connectivity, preferably capable of accessing shares directly, not...

Hello Everyone, I used to have a HR10-250 which was starting to get flaky. I suspected it was the harddrive, since it had worked flawlessly before... So I decided to call DirecTV to see how much the new HR20 & MPEG4 dish upgrade would cost me.. After some haggling I got it essentially for...

Hi Everyone, Maybe a stupid question, but is the Skystar 2.3 the only one that ever had Blind Scan of all the PCI DVB cards out there? I currently have a Twinhan 102g, which works great, but I really miss the blind scan that my Pansat box has on-board... Does anyone know why blind scan is...

Hello Everyone, I love the whole FTA hobby and scanning satellites for feeds and whatnot. Especially during Katrina last year, there was a lot up there. However, it seems that either the number of feeds has diminished or maybe they've been encrypted? Or there just isn't much news to report...

My apologies if this has been discussed previously (didn't see a post though), but what has happened to UonTV? It used to have all sorts of funny stuff on there like the Ramirez Family Vacation, the Sadoun commercials, etc. And now all I see is infomercials for cosmetics.. I also don't see any...

Hi Everyone, I have been frustrated with DiSEqC switches since I first started this hobby about a year ago. I had a 90cm dish with a HH100 motor and a circular and linear LNB on it. With one coax running to the dish, I wanted to have the ability to select either the circular or the linear...

Hello everyone, I just happened to stumble upon this product and have a few questions.. As a new user of Sirius (have it installed in the car), I'm intrigued by the possibilities of "tivo-ing" the Sirius broadcasts, especially when Howard Stern starts early next year. My wife is a big...

Hi everyone, Been playing around with getting a DSS and Univ. LNB on the same coax. Tried a generic 4x1 switch, a "high quality" Chieta 4x1 switch and finally a Sadoun 2x1 switch. Couldn't get any of them to reliably switch. The 4x1 generic and 2x1 sadoun would sometimes switch, but I'd have...

Hi Everyone, Quick question that I haven't found a really clear answer on yet... If I slave, say, a Twinhan 102g to my Fortec Lifetime Ultra (or Pansat 3500S soon) receiver, and leave the 102g's LNB Power set to on as well as give it the capability to control the motor and switch using...

Hi Everyone, As a satellite newbie, I got my first FTA setup from Sadoun, and it came with the Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra receiver. In the beginning, everything seemed to work great.. Until I started to do blind scans on a bunch of satellites I could receive. For some reason, suddenly the...

Hi everyone, I have gotten my motorized system set up pretty well for everything West of 71W (my longitude) up to G10R. However, pretty much every sat I have tried to get East of 60W I haven't been able to see any transponders. Can anyone on here give me some strong 24/7 transponders that...
