Hi all, I upgraded my Sonicview Premier 360's firmware from SV dated 3/5/2009. But now I am getting what the other gus were mentioning, that when you leave "dish setup" mode, the dish takes off to the last channel it was viewing, and it will not "auto-drive" to the other channels. The only...

Firmware Upgrade I upgraded the firmware from SV dated 3/5/2009, and the "bouncing"signal has all but stopped, and the other "values" are very high now. But now I am getting what the other gus were mentioning, that when you leave "dish setup" mode, the dish takes off to the last channei it was...

LNB Interesting you mention frequency shift. Something I am noting is that whatever the baseline Signal Quality is, it will be that and "bounce" to 99. For example Tolo, on AMC5 (I think) baseline quality is in the mid 30s. But it will "bounce" to 99 and back... And it seemed to me that the...

LNB I believe I fit in your High Gain/High Noise catagory. The Standard LNB (Digiwave DGL-03S) that came with my dish is a 60 db gain, .3db noise, and can be had for the amazing price of about $8.99. It was part of the "FTA Antenna Kit". Do you recommend a better standard or...

Aiming What I have noticed is that if you tried to aim at, say AMC4, with previous inaccurate settings, even if you reaim and and rescan, the Sonicview USALS will use the PREVIOUSLY stored point reference (USALS + Scan data). I found that if I deleted the previouslyl stored data, and then...

Newbie Pain Hi Ratio, Welcome to the site, and to the club, and to this thread. If you have read it all the way through (with a cup of coffee) you will note how I came to purchase my new SonicView Premier (same as yours I believe without the dual tuners). The guys were so against this...

Signal/Quality Strength? Hi Turbo... Thanks for the advice. I will follow through today. Might you share with me what signal/quality I might expect to see? I have read (and in this thread) that Sonic View might not give me solid numbers. Interestingly, in order to get any quality and arc...

Bloomberg Lock OK, as per advise, I found and locked down on AM3 at 87 degrees. I was able to grab the Bloomberg signal, as well as skew around to other birds and get some pretty good channel selection. My question now is regarding signal quality. The bloomberg signal lockes in at about 77...

Easter Aligning the Dish :)Thanks for the great advice all. I will heed all of it, and in the next few day maybe I to will have a success story to tell. I'm not giving up. And with a great group backing me up, I am certain I'll be online soon. At least now I have hope! Sincerest regards...

But Wait There's More! :) The instruction manual to the Sonicview is about worthless. The unit says it is Diseqc 1.2, but is not USALS Diseqc 1.3? There is a menu in the SV360 for USALS, and it does "bump" the dish a bit. Is it functional? I don't know. Using Diseqc 1.2 to set X, whatever? No...

Replies and Advise Hi guys, Thanks for all the input this far. I will address a few of the issues so you can know where I am coming from. Why Sonicview? Tele-Satellite mag rated it as the best FTA for basic uses; easy to use interface, blind scan, etc. It has the added PVR functions of you...

Thanks for the Input I'll give all the suggestions a try :) Jim PS: Thanks for the welcome. I have been reading the site for a few months now; I feel like I know 1/2 the folks here :)

Only Picking Up AM4 (101.0W) Greetings all from warm and sunny Florida. I am writing with a curious matter. I am able to pick up bird AM4 with good signal (mid 70s) and good quality (mid 60-low 70s) on just a few of the transponders (11708,11822, 11983, 12020 are the strongest) but no others...

Greetings to All from SatelliteGuys Newbie! Greetings all! I visit this site to learn wisdom from those whom have gone before me. I stumbled across FTA a few months ago, and am excited about the potential! Thanks in advance for the knowledge that I know I will receive here :) Jim
