dhj, I did what you said about direct hook up from Sat to tv, is good, quite good. I think the change from 36" tv to 50" was an adjustment so there was a eye change there. Like you said the final hookup might change some. Hooking up theater package tommorrow. Thanks

Thanks DHJ, yeah,, not hooked up right. I'll try the direct hookup. I wonder if there is an upconversion for the sat signal like you see on these dvd home theater systems. I'm looking into one for a sound system. Can't hear the TV so good when the pellet stove is going. I'll report back...

Picture quality grainy, I checked my signal strentgh and it's 89%. The vivid pic mode did help some. Format selection's full, h-fill, and just looks the best. Is that what you mean about aspect? I just got it hooked up yesterday and was up at 2am today looking at the settings. I know I...

hey all bought a 50" plasma 720p tv. Just hooked it up. Not so good a pic with BUD dsr410. Setting on tv show dsr410 signal is coming in at 480. Any body know of any tricks to increase pic quality? I tweaked with the settings some. It's composite hookup.

Wow ok, yeah 120hz is smart. The 60" mike74820 mentioned at wally world looked good but they are out of stock now, that was quick! Not sure what HZ they were. Going to have to brush up on s-video vs composite cables, I don't know which is which. Thanks

Hey good info here from you folks thanks.. I think with the samsung 60hz is fine for me. The contrast ratio is 80,000:1 I believe. Your'e right about the 410 being the limiting factor of the resolution. What ever it is it looks good to us right now on the old 36" panasonic. I have OTA, I...

Thanks, yeah that's what I've been hearing, most people don't see any difference. Didn't know if with a bigger screen it would be more noticable. I'm looking at a samsung 52" 60hz 1080p at walmart for $898, although they are out and I am waiting for more to come in. They won't sell the...

I have hits w5. Looking into getting a 52" big screen TV. I can get one under a $1000. I know the c-band is digital. The Hdtv is of what use? I don't watch any sports so would the 60hz be sufficient? Anybody have same setup?

Ok thanks, finding my way around here.

Hey all, wondering if satellite subscription for w5 is going continue? I have skyvision w/dsr410 and am happy with it. I guess I could call them. Thanks

Yeah, I've checked out the phillips dvr,, looks like a good one! Walmart has the good prices. Like you said, if you can find one. There's a magnavox 160gb at walmart for $249. I have to wait a while to get one. Good idea Ice on the Radio Shack route, I'll check it out.

Thanks Ice,,, Got the vcr hooked up. What I did't do before was program the vcr,,, auto scan.

Well I finnally got the 10' mesh dish to lock on w5. Had some help from a local satellite guy. Ran me $80. It was worth it! Moved the 410 from a close to dish location to the family room and have 95% signal and +10.5 ebno. Thanks for all the help along the way folks. Messing around with...

Icberg, thanks my compass is set up for declination -15.5 east so I have it set at 156. I tried hand scaning with the dish,,,, done doing that. Talked to a couple of satellite guys today they both said get the dish back to where it was before I messed with it. Then either pull the motor off...

yes from 95667 I show 156 degrees compass 42 degrees elevation,, nothing there unless I didn't move slow enough, or I'm measuring elevation wrong. One dish piont site talked about a -6 declination for elevation. using protractor on back of actual dish. I raised dish still at 156 and get...

Thanks all, I went and looked at options 6-0-5 diagnostic C,,, good tip! Will the e-bay anolog recevier show me which satellite I'm looking at? I saw the one for $27 US Legacy II,, same one? I have moved the reciever to my back shop 20' from the dish. Just have to carry TV and reciever...

Thanks, LNBF is 13k dual polarity bsc421 and 410 from skyvision. No I don't have another reciever maybe I should get one. You mean one that could drive the dish?

Some day I will be able to call programing and request service. On this site I learned never give up. Well no lock on yet. Old 10ft mesh BUD, no old reciever to move dish. No more than a 10-15 red bar last week on tv in house(long run old wire) . Got a satelite finder and a protractor and...

thanks all, I'm still looking at the dsr922's e-bay, my old channel master reciever is the digicpher II, but it has been upluged for years. NPS shows instructions about moving the old cipher unit into a dsr922. Could my old cipher modual work? For buying a used dsr922 as long as it powers...

I wish there was an upgrade also. Try googleing for one you might find one new but it might $600+. Then if there was an upgrade it would be exspensive also. You could go with an dsr 410 but you can only go with one programmer and the dish is fixed.

Thanks folks for the info, this is getting complicated. I wish there was a reciever to replace the dsr 922. My old channel master has the video cipher unit in it but has been unpluged for yrs so it is toast for sure. I saw the one in the classified but a bit steep in price. Would prefer to...

Hi all, I have a mesh channel master BUD that has been disconnected for maybe 8yrs. The dish sets 100' to the rear of property. I need to splice the ribbon cable back on,, I cut 6 or 8' off just outside the house, that should't be a problem. I would like to pay for just a movie package...
