the Echostar 4000 has an external power supply and the red and white wires and the other wires in that group would go on the power supply, the power supply is linked by a cable that plugs into that round socket, I have the manual and can email or post here in the next day or two, do you have the...
the heat tape works very well, get the shortest one you can find, I use one that is 3 ft long if any longer you have to wrap it around itself which is not good, wrap it on the tube that the worm gear travels in and out, keep the temperature control near the bottom end, use electrical tape to...

I have seen many dishes mounted on a tripod set-up, with the legs going about 3 to 4 feet out from the center, the legs are held down with a 3 to 4 ft piece of steel rod driven into the ground, leveling is done by sliding the leg up or down on the rod and then tighten a bolt to...

the General Instrument Model CR70 used a potentiometer in the arm for satellite positioning and used an electronic skew control, another receiver that was similar was the Janeil models, but these were all improved to the better receivers that were used in the 70's

are you still in need of the manuals, I have SRD-4000 installation & operation manual, owner's manual for antenna positioner SRD-4000 and a 4 page brochure explaining the operation of the receiver and how to do a master clear if you don't know the code that has been entered.

On the coolsat 5000, A blind scan picked up the AC 3 audio on other channels but did not pick up audio on RFD tv, however, I did a manual scan only on the transponder that RFD tv is on and it picked up the audio on RFD tv, hope this helps
