many times my guide does the same thing. I will hit the guide button and it pops up and says "guide info is on G1" but I left it parked on G1 overnight. sigh. recently it has been really bad for me. It will download the guide overview (program titles) but no detailed info. I can let it sit on G1...

If a friend asked me about FTA, the first thing I would tell them is to visit this site and read read read.. then I'd say "get some beer and we'll get you setup to do it!" ;-)

I dunno about an autopsy.. if I use the pansat at the same time the 3600 works fine. I just haven't had any time recently to mess around with it.. busy busy busy.. trying to finish up school, kids were sick etc. at some point I'll mess around with it again.. soon.. I would just hate to break...

I checked for output already but there was 0volt on it. I might have to install the technotrend stuff that came with it. It was in that software, but was buried and was a nightmare to find (crappy program that it is) maybe I'll put the o-scope on it and give it diseqc commands and see what I can...

I have a TechnoTrend S2-3600 USB tuner and am using DVBViewer and I can't get LNB power anymore. Does anybody know where, at least in DVBViewer I can turn LNB power on? Other issue likely related is that diseqc commands don't work from the TT anymore either. I hooked up a pansat 2500 and...

nope.. this laptop is a fresh brand new build.. there may be other network issues between here & there, but it's not the machine. I just cleared the cache and hit the home page again. took maybe 2 minutes before the page displayed anything.. but at the bottom of the screen I could see all of...

hmmm I guess I'll have to be the one who's contrary. I understand the need for the ads for revenue, but I think you may be driving people away with them for guests. I have the site set to remember me and log me in automatically. home page usually loads fairly quickly, but on my wife's machine...

Glad you got it taken care of. Another thing you can use for the future to try to force a guide re-load is to go to the Diagnostic screens (Options 6-0-5) then use the right arrow key to scroll through until you get to screen F. That is the IPG diagnostic screen. Once on that screen, as long as...

yea.. some of those screens just go on forever.. mainly I was trying to cover a bit on each at least for what a "general" user would want to know.

dishman: it's really hard to compare the packages between providers.. I've put together a couple spreadsheets to try and help.. one of the problems with these big packages is that one will have a couple channels you want but not others, and some other package will be the reverse. with SRL I go...

I've been with SRL now for about 8 months. Bailed on NPS pretty quickly in the spring. I've not had any trouble with them in the short time I've used them. One of the nice things with them is that you can ask to be setup for their "WEB SAMS" which allows you to manage your subscriptions...

thanks screen F is another one I'll get added. That's the program guide, shows you each day, which has data loaded, how much RAM is left for the guide and how long it took to download. You can also clear the guide from that screen and start it downloading again

nah.. that would entail work..:) and thanks.. what do you think about level of detail? too much? not enough?

In order to help fellow 4DTV users, I put together a quick down-n-dirty flash 'tutorial' on the diagnistic screens on the 4DTV. I do not have all of the screens done (only A through C) and I do not have all of the fields marked, only certain ones. I am also going to make a non-flash version...

well, I had also assumed that they were one in the same, just different package names & prices. does explain the differences tho . I currently use SRL and when they set me up with their online system, they asked if I wanted to be able to do SRL or Skyvision online.. their websams isn't the...

STOP IT! if Ralph Nader gets 'hold of 4dtv we're DOOOOOOOMED :D

I want to win the new SG9120 Heavy Duty DiSEqC Motor & The WS9036 36 Inch Dish

nope! went out and looked when I got home tonight. there is no pin on it. It looks like the shaft that pokes out the back of the arm has the coupling threaded on. completly rusted too.. I put some pblaster on it.. we'll see if I can break it loose

Yep. I checked SRL's website. Their prices went up (on the packages I checked) by about $1.50 or so.. discovery 4 pak went up like 50 cents.. pick 10 pak went up maybe 75 cents

hmmm. I sub thru SRL also, might have to give em a call and see if it impacts us too thanks for the heads-up. History Intl is one I watch all the time edit: Katy at SRL said she had heard nothing about this. She is going to check into it and contact me back. Might be strictly NPS

yea, I read that post and looked at mine. the brushes are fine. commutator is a little scored but not badly. but there's definitely something wrong in the linear portion. as I unscrewed the inner tube, it suddenly got really difficult to turn, I could also feel it sort of 'grinding' inside...

cool.. thanks! I'll give it a try and see what happens

last that I had looked, there were no PCI cards that supported blind scan in hardware. They all rely on software to do a sort of brute-force scan of the stream. I would suggest that you look at DVBViewer as I think they had a delphi SDK available. At least it would be a start.

ok, any tips on how to drive that little roll pin out? I talked to the previous homeowner, he said that from the new install, he had to replace the actuator once. so this is the replacement .. would make it around 18-19 years old or so

The saginaw actuator on my dish finally gave up the ghost. I replaced it with a venture.. ok, back in business. I want to check out the saginaw to see if it's possible to fix and worth fixing. I have the motor apart, aside from a ton of dead bugs, everything seems okeedokee in there. but as I...
