Wow, a primate postmortem prostate probe.....

I little off topic, well at least it's about bird poop, Yes they are very selective where they poop. I have my '83 Mercedes and '96 Chevy both parked in the same driveway, guess which one they like to poop on? :( It's like , what was his name Triumph? the comic insult dog?

unimash? was that with Alan Alda?

Some of the old Toshiba IRD's had something like this but on the STB's display not on the TV

there has been a rash of bad caps over the past several years which has caused a lot of motherboard failures. Probably caused problems with a few STB's as well.

$999 +tax for 9ft Radio-shack & everything to get started. The re-branded Uniden receiver was re-capped which bought a couple more years but been through 5-6 receivers. The dish and original motor are still going.

Now thats a Jack!

If any one is interested I have two VCII modules, one is a VCRS, the other is an older model. The last time I checked they both still had close to 3v on the batteries, but that was over a year ago. I tried posting them on eBay at that time but there was no interest shown. If there is any...

I've been in tech support and technology professionally for nearly 20 years, but I have to say that at times we do tend to ridicule those who we serve. We have all heard the cup holder story, or the gas peddle one. Then there are the acronyms such as PEBCAK and ID-10T. I'm not saying it is...

I agree with you, in fact that was one of the first things I tried.... It worked for a day or so....:(

Richard, I was able for a while to give the sensor a slight push or wiggle it a bit and things would work, but only for an hour or so. Other than this problem I have really enjoyed this Fortec, more so than the CS6K I think. And I know that other than the remote issue it works fine, just...

PRAIRIE DU CHIEN WI is about half way between Tony and I, what ya say Ice you up to a dish run??? :) JK

Brian, here are a couple of pics of the board in question. I'm sorry that they are not better quality. Thanks for everything. Doug Oh by the way, the Radio Shack 38kHz is not the correct frequency....:(

Or perhaps the front panel circuit board?

Lone Cloud, Does the CD/DVD drive light flash at all when you try to boot up? Or is the "verifying data" message coming from the system? Have you tried booting without a disk in the CD drive? If so what message do you get?

Googled, Yahooed, Binged and Wiki-ed until I was blue in the face,:( ....Do you stock it?

I read in a different thread that SatAV was the North American provider for parts (& Repairs ?) for Fortec Star. I have a Lifetime NA that I've been having problems with the remote. I have checked the remote itself with my cell phone camera and it seems to be working. In addition I had been able...

Lone Cloud, as I understand it you are unable to boot up on the install CD? Is you CD drive ATA(IDE) or SATA? If ATA (ie ribbon connector) is it slaved together (connected on the same ribbon) with the 500GB drive? If so you need to make sure that one is set as the master, preferably the 500, and...

Dee, one thing that happened to me when I installed myth was that is seemed to want to index the drive with my DVR files on it and kinda messed things up. Don't know if it was myth or what but I bailed on it. My files were still accessible but they were all the Linux version of chk files, which...

Dee, I've been doing something very similar to what you are trying to do, so I'll toss in my 2 cents here. First off, congrats on setting up the Ubuntu on your own, yes it is easy but that doesn't detract from the achievement. Second, good for you, dump Windows! I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on my...

Does she sing?:D

Forum sponsors already offer forum members special discounts etc. If SRL or Skyvision would be willing to offer a token discount to Coop members.... Well it's just a thought....

There has been a plague of bad caps in the electronics industry, you can get some more info at Badcaps.net - What Causes This although I would think that most 922's were made prior to this....

Perhaps we should become the Satguys SkyCable Coop......:)

I too have had this problem and have been able to trace it to the sensor on the front panel. I can wiggle it and it will work for a while but then stops again. I tried re-soldering it but the problem persists. I think I'm going to have to replace the sensor, my question is does any one know...
