    I am offering 4DTV battery replacement service DSR922 and DSR905

    So many folks are afraid of losing the UID in their 4DTV due to dead battery, I have decided to offer assistance to any in our community with battery replacement. I have done both 922 and 905 successfully and have years of experience. If your unit still has a UID, it will when you get it back...

    Anyone willing to donate a 4dtv for r&d?

    I am looking for volunteer(s) to donate an unused 4dtv unit, preferably dsr922. We are at testing stage but we need (at least one) unit to run tests on. We could also possibly run similar tests on dsr920 models as well. It is impossible at this point to tell if tests will be a success, but if...

    Today was DirecTV install day!!

    Today was install day. The crew was supposed to show 12PM-4PM and showed about 2:30 and were finished by 3:30. They installed Slimline5 dish with HR24 and H24 receivers with wholehouse DVR. There will be a bit of learning curve to this, me being from the old c-band school. But hey, if I can...

    Couple of dave questions (install and foxsports) by a soon to be subscriber

    Hey guys, I am probably going to bite the bullet and sub to DirectV within next few weeks, with loss of masters and ability to move my bud if I buy W5 4dtv package after 1/1/11. I have a couple of questions for new install of Direct, 1. I have an FTA H-H dish mounted on a 1 1/4"(?) pipe...

    only 2 months left of subsciption tvro

    We are down to two months left of subscription c-band television. Isn't it a shame it has come to this, but I guess the lamers have spoken. I am totally amazed by the lack of enthusiasm to keep it going. I posted that I have source for 4play from Rod Hewitt and thought someone into...

    Showtime still available from Skyvision?

    I thought it was said when Showtime Networks decided not to sell to 4dtv'ers that the W5 reuplinks were going away too. I notice they are still listed at lyngsat and for sale at skyvision via dsr410. So it appears if you have a dsr410 you can still sub to Showtime. I wonder what that will mean...

    Exploring my options, can I self install directv?

    I am an old c-bander with a 4dtv. With options limited to whats on W5(105W) after January 1, 2011, I have been exploring directv and dishnetwork. I am not sure what I will do yet and may stay with c-band. I am still pissed off at dishnetwork since the old TurnerVision days, so they are out of...

    Don't scrap your BUD yet - programming available after January 1

    I heard over at the other 4dtv forum that Motorola ran tests successfully on 4dtv to see if it would be compatible with trickledown emm of hits/comcast 's w5 satellite. Based on comments I read, it does sound hopeful that w5 will be available for our 4dtv's now and after 1-1-2011. Maybe subs...

    99W KCWY question

    I am barely able to lock this channel for some reason, down around 45% on azbox, and pixelates and pauses a lot. Is anyone else having trouble with it or is it on my end? I get the PR mux and GDMX mux just fine.

    Weird signal loss dsr-922 and azbox

    I have some weird problem and unsure how to solve. If I hook power pass splitter between Azbox HD and dsr922 4dtv to pass the Azbox power to cband lnb, I get a much better lock in Azbox. I get Alaska mux and several more s2 channels on misc satellites. But, I lose some signal in 4dtv, more...

    Can I install my own dishnet system???

    If cband does end, I am considering dish. I am only interested in the turbo HD channels. Can I do the install (I have no problem aiming at their satellites I can promise you that) and will they just sell me turbo hd? I dont want someone else doing the install. I already have enough coax...

    question about splitter/combiners needed for ku

    I am running a 6' cband dish right now. I am wanting to wire up a 10' I picked up It has c and ku feed on it, I want both. I only need c band for dsr922, but need c and ku for azbox elite hd ird. I assume I need to run two seperate coax from dish to ird's, do I need a dc powerpass splitter or...

    Lose signal on dig channels sometimes

    If dsr-922 4dtv receiver sits for a while, like overnight, it will have message pop up that says "cannot find channel, continuing to search". I can usually clear this up by switching to analog channel, sometimes switch between 23, 24 (H to V) then back to a digital channel to get lock/picture...

    How many 4dtv subs are there?

    How many c-band subs are there now? I would think it has picked up a bit since June/July with advent of n3. I googled but didnt find any info. One site quit publishing the numbers back in 07.

    Here's an idea... Why no HD via HITS??

    We can get most Comcast/HITS channels on AMC18/105W with 4dtv, why don't they offer any HD? For that matter, it would be nice if Comcast would just offer us a nice package that includes the HD they have on c-band, and we still have our dish to view whatever feeds we want. Getting HD is only...

    Is a RayDX 10.5 any good?

    I have never heard of a RayDX and didnt find much googling it, but I might be able to get a 10.5. It has a button feed(?) which I have heard before people had trouble with them swaying in wind so I am not sure if I should stay away from this one or not. I used to have a SAMI 7.5 and now I have...
