    Sonicview 8000 - Russia Today Disappeared

    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.)...

    Rumors of Discovery

    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

    FTA and 4DTV 920 Receiver on one Dish

    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...

    Canonical list of 920/922 Secret Screens

    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

    FTA and 920 4DTV

    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.

    VCII in 920 - Is Anyone Home in There?

    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...

    Nano2 and STAB Motor Never Stops

    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...

    C-band dish and FTA

    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...
