    Bad experience with sales agents

    First agent said that the receiver I have is tied to another account and cannot be activated. I told him that I had just purchased it from a Ebay user, and asked him what I should do... he couldn't tell me, I asked for a supervisor, he couldn't do that, he then said he would put me through to...

    I did a self-install with a 211k receiver and want to activate the Welcome Pack only on a pay as you go service. I called in to do it and the rep/agent said that they couldn't do it, that you already had to be a customer to get the Welcome Pack. Please help, tell me how I can do this, can I do...

    GEOSATpro HDVR1200 -- random lockups

    I've been waiting for a new firmware release as was mentioned in the previous thread. I'm still getting frequent lockups/freezes that require a power cycle to undo. No big deal, just a little annoying ;) Anyone else having any problems with this receiver? Maybe it's just the way I use it...

    4DTV 922 runaway motor issue - need info

    I need some help from the brains out there My 922 drove the actuator to the physical limit again yesterday, the count did not change at all while the dish was moving across the arc! Could my runaway motor problem be caused by lack of a pulse on the sensor line? If so, what in the 922 would...

    GEOSATpro MicroHD --new firmware?

    I read in one of the C-band threads that new firmware is being tested for release, when will that be released? And, can you tell me the procedure to take the Micro back to a completely fresh clean install? as if it were just purchased (with the new firmware)? I am guilty of using it on too many...

    Pre-purchase questions -- tightwad, cheapskate -- never had Dish, or Direct

    I have never had a Dish/Direct sub. Always went ala-carte, pick-10, with big dish. Some people call me a cheapskate..LOL! Anyway, I'm looking at my cheapest path to get some TV that I actually want. I have dishes set up for FTA and get most of all that filler that comes with these packages...

    AZBOX OpenRSi/E2 firmware for the Ultra ... worth it or not??

    Trying to find out if this is any good or not... appreciate any comments from anyone, thanks. Will I gain any functionality, or lose any, by going to the OpenRSi/E2 software for my Ultra? Any advice on which image to use? I assume the latest one, dated today; I was reading posts about...

    GEOSATpro Suggestion-- make a Do's and Don'ts list for channel editing

    Many people are ending up with looped receivers after trying to use a channel editor. I'm suggesting you make a simple How-to, or Tips document explaining what NOT TO DO, if there isn't one already. Pretty much everyone is very happy with this box, but this little problem is causing some...

    Any way to get Signal and/or quality levels indicator into the small channel info screen that pops up when changing channels ??? Even better yet, how about a "Coolsat 5000 mode" with menus customized to be similar to those on the old Coolsat:D

    GEOSATpro Micro "skipping" some transponders during blind scan ???

    I have been having some problem with my micro, it sometimes "skips" some transponders on a blind scan. I can go back and do a manual scan on the individual transponder(s) and it will then scan in. It's kinda like the Signal/Quality levels are not coming up fast enough and the micro just skips...

    Sadoun holidays special--need a little help

    Here is a pic of my new Sadoun 180PM dish, as far as I got today. Also, sat look images for me to hit 139w, and 30w satellites. I'm right at 83, so this gives me a total swing of 140.6 degrees, 69.4 to the east and 71.2 to the west. I mounted the QARL-2418+ actuator on the west side of the...

    DSR922 - Procedure to return to service ??

    I will have a C-Band dish again soon. My DSR922 was removed from service about 3 years ago! I want to make sure it's ready before I hook it up again, I'm not sure what I need... --Can I just hook it up and go? Or, do I need to prepare it somehow? --It was removed from service before the "big...

    Never had DISH before. Several questions to help save money and decide...

    My house has a DISH 1000+ antenna setup with DPP44 switch. I do not have a DISH receiver, and have never before been a DISH customer.

    GEOSATpro Using the "Signal" screen ?

    What are the requirements to invoke the "Signal" screen? Basically, I'd like to know if I can enter the parameters of a satellite and transponder, then bring up the signal screen to use for tuning dish and lnb? Thanks,

    GEOSATpro Feature request

    Motor controls be available for dish moving while in the "Satellite Meter" (Signal) screen. Edited to add: And, allow channel changing from same screen. Either, or both, would be nice:) Thanks,

    GEOSATpro FYI --System reboot when changing channel to deactivated Sat.

    I had been playing with my C-band LNBF on my dish WSI9036ne for a few days, surprising how much you can get. Anyway, I put my Avenger PLL Universal back on, De-activated all the C-band sats, and scanned in AMC9 Ku channels. Started flipping through them and got a system reboot. Didn't loop, just...

    GEOSATpro Sending stream to TSReader ?

    Just wondering if this could possibly be done? How does the Micro send the recording to a USB device? Does it send the whole transport stream?

    GEOSATpro Keeping ALL Satellites "activated" ?

    I have been running my MicroHD for a while now leaving the satellites "activated" after I finish scanning or viewing channels on them. It's been working very well, no problems. So, my question is; Is there any reason why I cannot "activate" every Sat in the list, and leave them all...

    Another re-booting issue

    I got my replacement unit a few days ago, used it a little to make sure it's okay, and all has been well. Tonight, I did an update via the satellite and that was good. So, I started scanning some sats and viewing the results... I had noticed the remote to be a little unresponsive, I thought it...

    any experienced BUD installer(s)-- N.Central FL. ??

    Health and family issues make harvesting, and, setting up a B.U.D. no longer possible for me. The health issues required us to move from a house that I had a 10' dish setup at. I've still got the habit;) and have been messing around with some Ku dishes, and even trying C-band on a 90cm. But...
