Hi Smith, P. and Iceberg: I received my CaptiveWorks CW-800S on Thursday, and I am very pleased with it. A huge improvement in quality and functions, compared to the original GlobeCast WorldTV receiver. It did turn out that the LNBF is fine... we are now happily watching some of my wife's...

Thanks, that was helpful... It reads about 2.4k ohms on the LNBF... I have just ordered a receiver ... so I am in a wait-and-see mode for now. I will post back once everything is resolved. Much appreciated for all help and advice... :)

can any others?

OK, I guess my 3.5 year old GlobeCast Receiver is dead... we used to get BVN-TV Netherlands/Belgium programming via AMC4. Since I'm replacing it, I might as well get something good... and that I can use as a PVR... but I'm thinking why not send the MPEG files from my wife's favorite shows to...

OK, if I understand this correctly... 1. I attach a known good cable to the SAT_IN port on the back of the receiver... 2. I turn the multimeter to 50V DC say, probe the other end of the cable at the connector (outer part that would screw onto the LNBF) and the central copper wire that comes...

What kind of reading should I get on it? Is there an expected range?

alas, I have no multimeter...

... hmmm... I'll call the retired gentleman up the street who used to install dishes... those three options are available... I entered the values they list... ... my thought as well... After looking at some things, I see now that a new LNBF from Sadoun costs about $35... that's not chicken...

I have a GlobeCast TV SE830-x that is about 2-3 years old. The unit came w/ a dish and LNBF. We bought it so my wife could watch BNV-TV fta broadcasts ... It worked fine through GlobeCast, and then also afterwards when Globecast dropped BVN-TV, it also worked fine (I had to go up on the roof...
