    Thanks for your quick response! So I suppose the EPG is for internet applications.

    (Posted this question in another forum...but I figure I would get a quicker answer here.) So I got my Dj 1997 set for the Galaxy 16 Bird. I have 41 channels scanned in. 1. How does one go about getting electronic program guide to load? 2. I have just received my Desktop 2Tb external hard...

    Most cost affective fta receiver that can tune in Shepard's Chapel

    Now I am ready for the next phase. I have never owned or shopped for an external hard drive. I would like to use it as a DVR. I am all open for suggestions for something compatible with the Manhattan DJ 1997 with the proper cords. Do they make them the size of small book too? Or are they the...

    I followed your work around. Did a factory default. Turned on the 450i and put it on an odd channel. Blind scanned and received the horizontal polarity channels. (These are the channels that scanned in when the 450i was turned off, by the way.). Then I changed to an even channel on the 450i and...

    A work around that I can live with! Now I got to figure out how to do a factory reset. I think I saw it in one of the menu functions. How do you blind scan doing one polarity? Is it intuitive? (I go home in an hour....hopefully I will figure it out...I can't wait.) Thanks for staying up so...

    Most cost affective fta receiver that can tune in Shepard's Chapel

    . I will use the 450i to position the dish if I have to. Right now my GI450 was last set at G4 (now G16) transponder 16...which was the channel that Shepard's chapel was last seen on C Band analog. So if what you say is true, since we know we are on the horizontal polarity, if I change the...

    Feedhorn has a blue color servo motor. Don't know if it is set to Vertical. (Need to reconnect a couple of cables to get on screen display). So I guess the Manhattan receiver does not change polarities? (Sorry I'm not technology inclined.) I thought I was getting vertical polarity programming...

    Anyone here own the Manhattan Dj 1997 receiver? Are you getting the same figures? Why is the preset showing 4020V15000? I think I am going to need a step by step help in doing a manual scan. (This is my first foray.)

    Most cost affective fta receiver that can tune in Shepard's Chapel

    So I hooked up the Manhattan DJ 1997 receiver this past week. Despite excessive tree growth blocking the Galaxy 16 sat (99W) I did a blind scan expecting to find nothing. !9 channels were found. Signal strength 87 on all and quality readings from 42-50. (lots of pixelating.). Hired tree service...

    Thanks KE4EST. Just took the plunge. Thanks for the link! Google and Amazon.com was not much help in finding out pricing info on any of the 3 aforementioned receivers suggested in this thread. All I could find was the X2 mini and being made in china explains the cheap price. No thanks.! If...

    Most cost affective fta receiver that can tune in Shepard's Chapel

    Well it is a year later and I still haven't purchased a digital receiver yet. But I am ready now to take the plunge. (See post 1 on this thread.) Anything new and improved that has come out. I really like the mini HD receiver. Are there any out there that works like a DVR or do they all need...

    I can attest to Matt as being Speedy. He was very helpful and got it done very quickly. If the bosses are watching: Give this man a raise! (For you people with your mind in the gutter, I am referring to answering all my questions about the receiver swap and how it affects my account.)

    Holy crap! This MicroHd is tiny. Is it simple to connect to my 20 year old General Instrument 450 c band receiver? Do I need any other special equipment or a new LNB?

    Just noticed that the Denon 790 has one S-Video input with the four pins and it is for i-pods only Denon USA | AVR-790and it is not reassignable according to the manual. Does anyone have any suggestions? Will I still get sound if I connect the TOSLINK cable only to the AVR and keep the video...

    I am going to get the Denon avr789 or 1909 receiver. My question is on what additional cables I will need. Obviously, I need a toslink cable to hook up my 508 receiver. Is it to my understanding that everything that is presently connected to the back of my tv can instead connect to the avr...
