    Viewsat vs pro won't move channels

    Guys, Just ran into the same problem. I poked around and figured it out. When you are in the Edit Channel List screen, press the Info button on your remote. This will pop up a menu. Choose "Sort by default", then OK. Now the purple/blue button will work!

    Step By Step Instructions - Adventist Channels Move From AMC4 To Galaxy19

    Yes, stronger today You're right. I checked again this morning and it's up to 80%. A scan also pulled in the 3ABN Proclaim, LLBN Arabic, LLBN Chinese, Amazing Discoveries, and Amazing Facts channels, although they just have notices at the moment ("Coming Soon", etc.). Looking better!

    Step By Step Instructions - Adventist Channels Move From AMC4 To Galaxy19

    Glorystar1, thanks for the update...I'll keep my eyes on the forum then, so I know when to give the news on to the folks here. Unfortunately, we are in a rural area (Creston, BC), 1.5 hours drive from the nearest slightly larger towns, and older Star Choice dishes (I'm assuming you mean the 30+"...

    Step By Step Instructions - Adventist Channels Move From AMC4 To Galaxy19

    Hope Channel not moving? So with 3ABN and LLBN moving to Galaxy 19, the Adventist channels will be split between AMC4 and Galaxy 19? That's not too good. :( I do installations and there are going to be lots of people affected by this. Many of them have older dishes, and cannot just add a...

    Deutsche Welle - Need some feedback

    I have a friend with a 6 foot C-Band dish. I install Ku Band dishes on occasion, so I don't have a lot of experience with the larger ones, but he has had it working for a while, so it is installed correctly. Apparently he used to get Deutsche Welle when it was on an analog signal, but since...

    Question....hope its in the right place

    Longest cable run for FTA I don't have exact figures, but I worked on one house where the dish was mounted at one end, then the cable ran all the way to the other end, and down one floor, into the circuit box area and through a multi-switch. From there the multiswitch outputs ran back across...

    New to Glorystar

    Actually, while it is true that there is not too much on the other satellites (except Galaxy 10R), AMC3 has some worthwhile stuff: various PBS channels, CreateTV, PatientChannel and TipTV. But some of them, especially the PBS channels at "12179 V 30000" are hard to pull in. I had to use...

    USB 2.0 Media Recommendations

    I usually go with Seagate as their 5-year warranty is the best in the business. Western Digital is my next choice. I've had Maxtor's die on me prematurely, so I don't recommend them (although any hard-drive can die, so my experience will not be the same as someone elses).

    KNLB Changing Transponders?

    I have noticed differences between receivers so far as receiving weaker signals, even though, as you say, sometimes they just give a different reading but perform the same. I recently tried to receive the PBS channels on AMC3, and they are quite weak (at least where I live...just north of the...

    Blind Scan on Visionsat IV 200 PVR ??

    >What is the best app to play these *.ts files on a PC? This is not exactly an answer to your question, but you can use a free program called AutoGK to convert the TS files to DivX AVI files.

    Motorised setup

    Two receivers, one motorized dish I was curious about this setup also, so I just tried it now. I have one motorized dish running to one receiver, and then took the Loop Out from the back of that receiver and ran it into another receiver. Then I turned them both on and set them to the same...
