    c band on 36"?

    I tried it on my 30" fortec. I got analog C-Band some watchable with noise and exactly 1 digital signal. I have wondered since then what would have of happened if I had turned the LNB around and just pointed it at the satellite. I would guess it would be much the same results. Wholeshoe

    Enter to win: Sadoun Powertech DG380 HH Motor - End 2/28/09

    Get a perfectly plumb pole, and then carefully adjust for your true south satellite, find a sat on the far end (or as far as you can) and make micro adjustments from there until you are tracking the arc. Wholeshoe

    3abn/Geosat Pro 90 cm dish Owners...SOUND OFF!

    FTA? missing channels on the same sat

    I think a 4402x will only do Symbol Rates above 4000 or something like that. I had that problem with a channel on a headend I was working on and switched it out to a SA 9850 it it came in. Then I got to reading the manual and found out it wouldnt do symbol rates as low as I was trying. I...

    Anyone Else Using a WISP??

    What about VOIP through a wireless provider? Is it any good? They have a deal where I can get VOIP for $10 bucks a month and keep my phone number. Does 911 usually work through a VOIP provider? Wholeshoe

    Snow on dish.

    Fuel Oil works for snow hauling in dump trucks too. Although on your dish it might not do wonders for the grass underneath.

    Green line on Nasa?

    The top of the screen's noise is the VBI or Vertical Blanking Interval. It is extra lines of video containing things like test patterns and Closed Captioning. It has been around for ever. I have no idea about what the green line on the edge of the screen is. Wholeshoe

    Motorola DSR-4402X

    I work with them every day at work and I cannot say I have seen horizontal scroling at the bottom of the screen. As for the audio there are audio menus under the Installation menu (I think), there are many choices there. You are probably going from a Balanced Audio Output out of the receiver...

    Motorboating

    On my fortec (lifetime ultra) you press menu and go all the way to the right to the system setup menu and then down to Factory Setting. It will ask for a code which on mine is 0000. This will erase all information. So you will have to set up your system from the start after doing this...

    Motorboating

    Try a Factory reset. I used to have this problem with my BEC receiver and it was totally in the software. I would be a good start before tearing into the electronics. Of course it is a pain in the butt to scan everything back in.

    Unable to get clear Analog Picture

    I think Harvest is going digital and maybe they are running a half transponder like others do. That would possibly explain things. Just a guess. Can anyone confirm this? Wholeshoe
