Thanks... that was it! (My fault, this... perfectly good instructions for the receiver in Chinese translated into broken English, and I just missed it...) You've kept my head from exploding, and I'm most grateful. ::JACK

Hi, I have a Sonicview 8000 receiver. It's connected to a 12' dish with a new feed horn and a positioning box. It's been working fine for several years, pulling in the usual FTA channels. Last week, I decided to have it re-scan 97 west to see if anything new had turned up there (in English.)...

I agree. Let's urge Discovery to be included in C-band again. Just got finished sending them a message. :JACK

Thanks; cool page. I'll visit it periodically and see what's up. ::JACK

Hi... It's been great having 4DTV back, except that the basic Discovery Channel is missing. I've heard rumors that Discovery, Animal Planet and TLC will be returning to the W5 slate some time real soon now. Does anyone know more about this? Thanks. ::JACK

Thanks. Okay; nothing is fried. (I thought about the DC affecting the other receiver but the guy at the place I bought the splitter said that was the correct device, and he had been using them for years in this sort of application. You just can't trust anyone!) At the moment, I have replaced...

Hello, I have an FTA receiver with a GBOX dish positioner driving a (fairly old) C- and Ku-band dish. Everything works. With the return of 4DTV on W5, I dusted off the DSR-920 receiver and got a proper 2400 MHZ splitter with DC pass on both legs. I installed the splitter between the GBOX and...

Thanks. ::JACK

All right... it's working! I tried selecting 216 and leaving it there for a really long time. For anyone else who encounters this issue, the guide seems to download way, way slower than it did in years past. It was half an hour before there was anything even slightly guide-like, and about two...

They have the GI raw diagnostic screen DOC file, but none of the secret screens. ::JACK

Hi... In working through the issues surrounding getting 4DTV working again on X4, several of our 920 receiver's secret screens turned up. This made me wonder. Does anyone know if there is a complete list of all the secret screens and the key combinations to activate them? Thanks ::JACK

It's 1040, and we definitely get hits for subscriptions. SciFi popped right in as soon as I paid the WebSAMs page. Is there anything more that I need to do to receive the guide? Thanks. ::JACK

Ditto what Lone Gunman said. I have a GI 920. I used WebSAMS to subscribe to SciFi channel, and all is well. However, I can't get a guide (if I hit the Guide button on the remote, it wants to go to G3.) The Options 6 7 7 8 sequence gets me to a Diagnostics screen that starts with "1. Manually...

I need to do just the opposite - use the FTA receiver to move the dish and have the 920 be a slave to the FTA. We've only got the one coax coming in from the dish now. For one thing, as I understand it, I'm going to have to lose the maps for all the satellites except for W5 / X4 in order to...

Hello, I have a FTA receiver connected to our big C-band dish, and we replaced the old two-wire, servo-based feed horn at the dish with a modern feedhorn that the receiver can drive (with a V3000 GBox in-between to move the dish). We also have the old 920 4DTV receiver, which looks like it...

Hi... Does anyone know how to make the screen capture function of the SonicView HD8000 receiver work? The procedure in the manual doesn't seem to do anything? Thanks.

Thanks... I thought it might be. ::JACK::

Hello, We have a 920 4DTV receiver. When its programming runs out in a few months, I figured I'd take the opportunity to replace its ancient lithium batteries, then maybe look at W5. I know the battery on the main board needs replacing, but I'm curious about the VCII module. Does the VCII...

Thanks for your reply. I don't have another receiver, unfortunately... although I'm thinking perhaps I should. (Any recommendations?) My location is correctly entered in the receiver. I suspect I'm in "move west until you press stop" mode, although I'd like to be using "move west one step at...

Nano2 Software Upgrade Hello, I'm trying to install the software upgrade for my Nano2 receiver, downloaded from the CNX web site. (The receiver has never had any "unauthorized" software installed in it. It has the original software that it was shipped with.) When I select USB from the menu...

Hi, We have a brand new Nano2 receiver and and equally shiny new STAB HH90 motor connected to a 36" dish. Everything's bolted in and looking at the right part of the sky. If I connect a meter between the receiver and the motor and start moving the dish, I find satellites - clearly a good...

I really hope the W5 thing works too, although I really hope they change their packaging if it does. If they sell those channels a la cart, or in smaller bundles, I'll be the first in line with a credit card. We worked out that we'd be spending over $600 a year to get the few channels we...

Thanks -- I believe that's what I'm looking for too. I really appreciate it. --Jack

Hi... We've had huge C-band dish (with C and Ku band LNBs) for ages, but it's looking seriously like 4DTV and most of C-band will be coming to an end at the end of 2010. We got a Nano2 FTA receiver and plugged it into the Ku feed from the dish. This works really well, and I'm guessing the C...
