[[I can't find the FTA forum. If this post is n the wrong forum, please move it.] My GeosatPro Micro HD has died. I've tried several power cycles with no effect. When powered-up,the Power LED is green, screen black. After several seconds, the PowerLED flashes red, then back to green. A few...

I am looking for a powered 4X1 (4 LNBF's to 1 receiver), or an powered inline buffer amp. There are a lot of relatively cheap powered switches, but they are designed for DBS (DirectTV, etc) and select inputs based on polarity (i.e. voltage). The usual 4X1 FTA switches are powered by the feed...

My second Pansat TC-1000HD died today which leaves me without a S2 receiver. I have had it with Pansat. Can you believe their fix for overheating was to suspend a fan between the tuner housing and a PCB and gooping all three with epoxy to hold it onto place (which makes all three...

My 921 has stopped working. Signal strength flips between 10 and 90 regardless of where dish is pointed. No longer receives usable signal. Happens on both C and Ku bands. Disconnect LNB and signal strength stays at 10. LNB voltage OK (approximately 20VDC). Any idea what's wrong?

I'm trying to resurrect my old C / Ku band hardware. I found a bird that has the following DC-2 channels: Current-TV (Ch 105), M-Net (North America) (Ch 110), Here-TV (Ch 111), Documentary (Ch 112) & Africa (Ch 117). M-Net & Documentary are in the clear. I did a search on Lyngsat, but...

I've used the Stab positioner with several different Pansat receivers in 'USALS' positioning mode and never had a problem. Set my Lat / Lon and it hits every satellite dead on. I seem to be missing something with the Pansat TC-1000 however. For some reason it just isn't landing on the...

I'm getting excellent C-band performance from my BSC-621 (Pansat 3500SD+ and 3M Orbitron mesh), but the Ku band is terrible. For example, on the C-band side of SatMex-6 I'm getting SQ readings in the 95% to 98% range, but I'm lucky to get 10% on the Ku side. I've spent hours tweaking the f/d...

It's been a while since I've monitored the forums. I remember talk of a Gbox coming out that had skew control built in. I've held off buying one, waiting for the new model with this feature, but, with Mot pulling the plug on 4DTV, I can't put it off much longer. Anyone know the current status...

After months of trying, I still can't get things working properly. My worst problem is missing channel changes, or having recordings chopped up by retunes. I have the R5000 mod in my HDD200 and am using an IRblaster to tune the 4DTV. If anyone here has this hardware configuration, I'd like to...

I know there are other threads on the subject, but, at least those I saw, are rather dated. I saw the info on the '4DTranslator' which would be a dream come true if it actually worked. Anyone using this box? With what recorder? Other approaches to consider? I have a GI 922 and HDD-100 and...

For some reason, I no longer have a guide on my 922. The message is: "Guide Information not available". Any idea why NPS / Motorola would stop sending me the guide? My subscriptions are OK.

Sorry, I know this is a FTA forum, but I thought someone might be able to help me. According to the guide, IFC is on W5/256, however when I tune to that channel I get something called 'We TV'. Anyone know what's going on?

After several tries I finally found a eSATA HDD that works with the 9200HD... sort of. When playing back a HD ATSC terrestrial recording, the FF and FR buttons are pretty much useless and usually end up locking up the receiver. When this happens the receiver says all terrestrial stations are...

Point your antenna at AMC-1/Ku (103W) and do a 'Smart Scan'. In the list of found channels you should find one called 'MS20'. Select that and tell me what you see.

I was controlling the Polarotor with a GI 920, which worked OK. I then bought a Pansat 3500SD and moved the skew control to it. For some reason it isn't working. I've checked the wiring several times and it's OK. Any ideas?

Sadoun Sales gave me a call and told me that the Gbox has been delayed another month, which make availability the first of November. They suggested I settle for the Vbox-2 instead. Has anyone found another source for the Gbox? Anything else to consider other than the Vbox-2?

My 9200HD arrived this afternoon and already I'm having trouble. I also have a 3500 that I've used with the same motor driven antenna and it worked perfectly... in less than an hour I had 15 satellites setup. I've messed with the 9200 for several hours and so far only have G25 working. One...

The manual says satellites 1 - 26 are predefined, but I can't find a list as to what these assignments are. My problem is I use the same positioner for multiple receivers. I arbitrarily assigned satellite position numbers starting with (1) at my West most satellite. It would appear that, if i...

I have an old DSR-920 with what appears to be a dead VC-II module. I also have an unused HDD-200. I am only interested in FTA and have no plans to subscribe to any channel. Unfortunately, without a subscription the clock can't be set and the channel map won't be updated (receiver hasn't been...

I am installing my second C-band dish (Channel Master 6363, 4 panel, 10' mesh)) at ground level. I'm no longer able to climb ladders and wanted a ground level dish I could use to test LNB's, etc. The above ground portion of the mast will be 4 feet long (3.5" dia.). Assuming the mast will be...

I saw a thread on this subject, but can't find it now. Someone was sharing his C-band dish between a 4DTV receiver and Pansat 3500. I seem to remember he told how he was switching dish control between the two receivers. Can someone give me more information on this?

I've been considering using a Slingbox with a DVB receiver. Slingbox supports the Pansat 2500A IR remote functions and I was wondering if it work with a 2700 or 3500 receiver. I guess I could add my own, but the tools I've found for doing this are Windows only and I am using a mac. Since the...

As I understand it, the Pansat 2700 and 3500 are capable of driving a Polorotor. I assume that, by adding a Vbox-II (other suggestions?) for the jack, you can have full C-band dish control from either receiver. Anyone doing this? Comments?

I have a 3 meter C/Ku dish controlled by an old GI 920 receiver plus a motor driven 1M Ku dish (DiSEqC 1.2). I've been using a Traxis DBS3500 receiver for my DVB-S receiver. I need to pull that receiver and connect it to fixed dish for my wife, which leaves me in the market for a new DVB...

There used to be an inline connector on the market that would handle all of the lines going to a C-band dish. The idea was that, in the case of lightning, you could quickly disconnect the dish from the receiver. Anyone know if these are still being sold? Link?
