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...

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...

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...

I know that some of this information used to be readily available on the internet, but one of the major sites that had it, is now defunct. You can get their pages out of the wayback machine at the internet archive, but that's a bit of a PITA. So, I figured I'd grab the screen shots and just slap...

Friend of mine was clearing out the attic. gave me a couple boxes of "stuff" ooooh, free sat stuff. got a GI c-band receiver and two boxes marked "sat mods" marked "autoroll" and "wizard" (no hack talk! no hack talk!):censored: just got a voice mail this morning. a GI DSR 4000 is waiting...

OK, so my original corotor broke, ordered a new one, and it showed up last night. I put my LNBs on it, got it setup, and figured that now was a good time to re-check the f/D setting. somebody please verify my calcs: so, 108" dish, that's 17" deep should give an f of 42.8 so my f/D is .39 I think...

Amazing what you find when you look (up) I was going to put this in the dish hunting post, but I've yet to even find the correct person to talk to about getting these. This is on top of the building where I teach part time. Both are Winegard, neither are in use.. obvious on the big dish by the...

I had posted a while ago about having polarity problems. welp, it came to a head last night. I changed channels, nothing.. (that was a V one) then changed back..(to an H one) and that got me ... nothing.. I have no signal at all.. OOPS.. that's not good. go out to the dish, think I'll swap out...

lately my DSR922 is acting like it's forgetting to change polarity. Anybody seen this before? so, let's say I'm on an H channel and change to a V channel. No picture, no DC light. If I go to "adjust picture" the skew for V will be highlighted and shows -40 but if I put the cursor on it, and hit...

When a channel is listed on lyngsat as F for digicipher II, what's the method for attempting to get it? For example were I to FISH around for a channel on GB, I can go up n down thru the channels all day long and not find anything interesting. I know that lyngsat isn't always accurate, but some...

was trying to get some RTN action but just happened to note that W3 600 shows WTVJ at the top but then shows "CHANNEL 100 TEST" under that. 601 shows WPLG but under that shows "CHANNEL 110 TEST" 602 shows WSEE and "CHANNEL 120 TEST" not that I have a clue what it means if anything.. just found...

I've been posting ads on Craigslist etc looking for BUDs & primestars. There's a guy with a 10' Unimesh, actuator, feedhorn etc who wants $100 or "make an offer" are the unimesh's worth it? The guy's maybe 45 miles away, claims that the dish is in great shape and was in use up until 2 years...

I had my primestar disconnected yesterday to move the RG6. Last night when I hooked it back up to watch RTN, I found that after power-on it takes at least 5 minutes for a picture to come in. Like the LNBF has to warm-up. is this normal for these? when I first turned the pansat on, no picture...

I am one SORE puppy tonight. did all kindsa work in the yard and then buried a PVC pipe for my RG6 cables. digging a trench by hand (and shovel) really STINKS.. man am I sore. but SWMBO is happy, the yard looks nicer AND I have a nice 1.5" PVC pipe underground for... MORE RG6! I can also now...

I was working on my dish last weekend, scraping rust & old paint off to re-paint.. UHHH.. OOOPS.. leaned against the pole and the whole thing will flex to the side.. no wonder I can't target Ku birds easily (at least this is my excuse for now and I'm sticking to it!) OK, so what are my...

Who's ready for the Michigan Chapter of the SatelliteGuys road trip? I am planning the trip to lovely Albion Michigan for a visit with Patriot Antenna Systems! Planning for next Wednesday. They are supposed to have a 12M dish setup in the parking lot (yes, you read that right, 12 METERS...

I know I've read before that most DN dishes are too small. I was doing some searches about the super dishes and most of what I read made it seem like they are still fairly small. Mine's about 33" x 24" (83x60cm) still too small? useless? isn't this about the same size as the primestar 84e...

Just looking for input. I know from what I went through and from people on the forum ask, that sometimes combining information about what channels are on which sats and where those sats are and what they are called, there must be a better/different way of creating a list of info. What sort of...

Just got off the phone with my neighbor. I had been trying in vain to find a steel pole to mount my primestar. Neighbor has a 7' pole in his truck for me.. gonna drop it off tonight after work :D hope that the weather holds this weekend so I can get the thing installed. Gonna start out fixed...

Ok, here's the thing.. I would like to try to get 55 west. When I move my dish to the east limit, I have a count of 4240, The eastern most sat I have currently setup is 83west. That resides at a count of 4550. my setup goes approximately 25 counts per 2 degrees. East limit gets me somewhere...

Had some Wild Turkey with my FTA today :D

anybody recommend a sat/tp that's dvb-s2 that I can use to dial-in and make sure my setup works properly and to check codecs for audio and video? I've been trying for RTN on C-band but I get nothing.. no video or audio, but an SQ of 55% thanks!

Anybody else have one of these things? HOLY SMOKES that thing gets HOT! I was really shocked how hot that little box was after about 30 mins run-time. but, what I can say is that the picture was excellent! Watching G10R I usually get some pixelation/macroblocking with my pansat, but on the TT...

promised land! (well, SAT receiver land at least) just got back last night from a trip across the pond (Germany). it's been a while since I've been over there (3 years) but this time I was on the prowl for sat stuff. offset Ku dishes EVERYWHERE!!! some houses had 4 and 5 dishes on the roof...

Happy Square Root Day everyone!
