Update: I wasn't able to get it to work myself, but a friend of my uncle who works with satellites came by and was able to get it to work. He wasn't able to lock in on any signal with the Captive Works receiver, but when he used his Pansat he was able to find the signal. After that, he just...

Cool thanks. I will try that in the next chance I get. Hopefully it helps figure out what the issue could be.

Unfortunately I don't have another receiver to swap out with. I currently have the TV and receiver near the dish, so I can see it in realtime. I did swap cable wires but with the same results. I will continue to try though, I'm sure I'll get it, especially with all the great help I've been...

I unplugged the LNB, and it gives me the same reading. So no difference it being plugged or unplugged. I also scrolled through the other satellites and I get the same reading there. I checked the cable and it does work. It's the same cable my Dish Network dish was connected to, but I...

Here's the installation menu: FTA Satellite :: FTASatellite.jpg picture by mike3783 - Photobucket I pushed the LNB as far back as possible, and I doubled checked all the connections, everything checked out.

Here's a link to the pictures of the satellite setup. I can display them in this thread if that's better as well. FTA Satellite pictures by mike3783 - Photobucket Pictures are of the LNB, direction in the sky that the dish is pointed at, elevation, and TV screen. I've been working on it today...

Cool thanks. Yea, I was following dish pointer's set up. I'll try to post some pictures of my setup in the next couple of days.

Not sure if my LNBF is stardard or universal, but I got this info off it: Zintech FSS Digital KU LNBF FREQ: 11.7~12.2 GHz N/F: 0.3 dB It's a single LNB. I was able to successfully enter the numbers given to me, unfortunately the power strength remains at 5-20% and signal quality at 0-10%. I...

Thanks for the help guys. Right now on IA 5 and I'm only getting a 5-20% power strength, and 0-10% signal. Looking through the manual, but not seeing how to set up my receiver to search for 97W satellites only.

OK thanks, I'll take a look at those.

Hi, I recently purchased a 36" FTA satellite and a CaptiveWorks CW-500S receiver. I'm searching for Galaxy 19 in the setup menu, but that specific satellite isn't listed. I have Galaxy 11, 11C, etc., but not 19. Are these satellite pre-programmed into the receiver? If so, is there a way to...

Thanks. If it's in HD even better. The Champions League games are Tuesdays and Wednesdays, while Europa League games are on Thursdays. Probably why nothing on the those channels when there's no games.

Thanks everyone. I did call Direct, and they said unfortunately the only promotion they have to offer for premier is their current one with the Sunday ticket. As for the soccer, the EPL games shown on Fox Soccer Channel are plenty for me (I believe ESPN 2 shows an occasional game as well)...

I'm currently in the process of switching over from Dish Network to DirecTV. I seem to be stuck on which package I should order. I'm looking at either the Choice Ultimate or the Premier and their current promotions. The Premier package starts at $59.99 for 5 months with NFL ticket. It seems...

No other channels are missing. It's strange. Anyways, after having an issue with customer service, I requested my service to be canceled. It actually had to do with trying to add additional programming, and the way I was jerked around, not so much with the missing channels. Either way, it...

Nope, I'm in CT.

I have a VIP622 receiver, with a dish pointed at 110 and 119 (American) and another at 61.5 (International and HD). For the past month, I haven't been able to watch Comedy Central HD or ESPN2 HD. On Comedy Central I get the "acquiring satellite signal" message followed by the "satellite signal...

Oh ok, thanks.

Is it possible to record a program on TV1 while at the same time watching a different program on TV1?

My parents subscribe to Dish because of the international programming. Unfortunately, being a Yankee fan, that means no YES at home. Every year I email Dish about it, but always get "that channel is not currently offered" email response. This thread actually answers a lot of questions...

Thanks for all the info. I have Dish Network installers coming here this Saturday to set it all up. Figured having them doing it will be much easier. :)

The Dish 500 I have is 9 years old, as is the other dish (61.5).

I know what you mean. My parents have Dish due to the international programming. I catch Yankee games at gf's house, bars, etc. I still think it's ridiculous Dish doesn't carry it.

Yes, thank you. I have the Dish 500 pointed at 119 and 110, and a second dish pointed at 61.5. I just wanted to make sure that all I needed to do is purchase an HD receiver and connect it to start receiving HD (after selecting an HD programming package from Dish of course). I'm glad to hear I...

I'm currently a Dish 500 customer. I have America's Top 250, CT locals, and two international channles, RTPI and SPT via a 61.5 satellite. I recently purchased an HDTV and I'm interested in upgrading to HD programming. I understand that I have to buy an HD receiver, but with my current set...
