After a long hiatus, I'm coming back. I guess self install is not really an option like it used to be, but thats OK, I'm 10 years older, and lazier now. Haven't ordered yet, I have done my own site check, It's iffy, I can find some places that can see 110, 119, and 129 (Yeah, I was hoping...

Tax Time, Got to keep the economy going, so I ended up purchacing a 42" LCD 1080p HDTV. Decided I needed a box for Dish, so I went to the local sat store, and purchaced one of these. I could have gotten it a bit cheaper online, but it was one of them things I wanted NOW. I hooked it up to my...

Sadoun C-180 Single-Channel Adjustable Channel Modulator. Does the same thing as a normal RF Modulator, RCA Video/Audio Inputs, but instead of only outputting to Ch 3 or 4, this can do UHF 14-69, CATV 65-95 & 100-125. Was using it for my homebrew distribution system, but this one is no...

All of a sudden it started flashing that the smart card was not authorized for the receiver. The message would flash on real quick, then go to blank screen, then flash back on randomly. Occasionally the channels would come on for a short period but freeze up randomly, then it would do it...
