I am still using RADAR'S sat/tr list from some 18 months ago. Was hoping an updated list is available to save a little time in the scanning process. Thanks for any assistance. Ron

I am using an Azbox Premium HD receiver in conjunction with two 1 meter dishes. The nearest dish to the receiver is about 175 feet away and it is a fixed dish. The other dish is approx 225 feet away from the receiver and mounted on Disequc H-H mount, DG380. The coax cable from the farthest...

I'm having an unusual problem that I haven't experienced before. I have owned the Premium HD (firmware ver. 0.9.5020) unit for about 1 1/2 years and after the first teething problems it has worked fine. I should say here that the AzBox User Guide was a tremendous help in getting started. I...

I have recently mounted a 1.2m GeoSat offset dish on an “Alt-Az” mount (in astronomy this is what we call a mount that moves strictly in latitude and longitude). The problem I’m having is getting the dish to acquire a strong signal in any position except due south. As I move the dish east...

In another thread someone offered a direct method of updating the DVBS.dat backup file located in DISK1 by using a Linux (I believe) command and FTP. The command was: mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /DISK1 This command runs from the CMD prompt after accessing the Azbox. I was...

I have one P+ receiver and would like to add a second. I read somewhere that all the remotes have the same ID code. If this is correct, is there a way of changing the code in either the RCU or the receiver to avoid accident overlap? Flinthill

I have a Linksys BEFSR41 router. Currently the DHCP is set to "Enable". I have recently attached to the router an Azbox DVB receiver that needs a static address. Question is: Can I leave the DHCP enabled and also assign a static address for the receiver, without affecting the other two...

I have read Stargaze and RADAR's A to Z Users Guide and it has been a great help in getting started. I must have overlooked something because in the process of turning on the receiver for the first time and setting up the resolution, time, date, etc I must have deleted the three key...

I've had a Coolsat 3000 for some years. Decided to upgrade and today ordered a Premium Plus. I have asked AzboxUSA about which tuners come with the unit and which ones I will need to simultaneously receive and record FTA channels (especially on AMC 21 [125deg]). Never received an answer that...

Does someone know where I can obtain a Sat Map listing the location and the current and former names of the birds. I'm having trouble understanding what satellites are being discussed in the forum; especially when trying to use the information to program the 4dtv. Thank you, Ron

I’ve search the archives on this topic and there seems to be some varying input on whether or not the Coolsat 4000 Pro passes thru to the S/PDIF port the AC-3 audio signal for the PBS channels on AMC 3. If this is possible, I could use some suggestions on a decoder to power 2 small external...

Does anyone know why Nebraska PBS Net, channel T6/600~603 is not broadcasting? I just received my 4dtv back from repair and cannot locate this transponder. I can pickup wild feeds on T6 but not NET. Is it my setup or have they moved again, or just stopped? Thanks

Hi All, I'm not certain just where to post this question and hope you can help out. I am trying to find a source for the stretch aluminum material used for panels (petals) in a 10 foot, C/Ku dish. If I can find a source I can cut and install my own panels. Hail punched holes in the current...

Hi All, Can someone tell me how to receive the audio for the PBS channels on FTA AMC3? I can get the video just fine but no sound. Many thanks for your help. RonM

I have a 10 ft. steerable dish, Norsat Ku Lnb #4206A and Norsat C band Lnb #8215. Would like to combine both signals per the DMS Int'l "SG@100" diagram (thanks to Iceberg for link). Is there any LNB voltage issues, or settings, with either the 4dtv recvr or the Coolsat 4000 Pro that I need to...

Hail just wrecked my 10 foot Unimesh dish last night...along with the top of the RV, the house roof and skylights. I want to take care of the most important things first so am wondering where I can buy replacement panels for the dish. It has 16 panels and each is fabricated from aluminum and...

When slaving a Pansat 3500 to a DSR 922 what is the correct wiring scheme for control of the polorotor? Which of the two receivers will have the primary control, or can the control somehow be shared? Thanks.

What is the correct LNB orientation ??? I am getting ready to install a Norsat 4206a & 8215 LNB onto a Chaparral II+ feedhorn and need to know the correct orientation of the LNBs to the feedhorn. Each LNB has a factory label, should the label side of the LNB be placed facing away from the...

I recently gathered this pricing information from several vendors of the Norsat C and Ku LNBs. I thought this might be of use to others. I was looking specifically for the Norsat C-band #8215 and the Norsat Ku-band #4206a SKYVISION http://skyvision.com/ 8215 do not offer...

Does anyone use the PATRIOT brand of LNBs? They appear to be the same as NORSAT and even use the same part numbers, but are priced much lower than Norsat.

Is this a new transmission technology? Will this have an impact on the 4dtv receiver?

I would like to understand what Digicipher II is. Does this mean the programming that has the DCII designation is in the clear or encrypted(subscription)? Is the Motorola DSR922 the only receiver that can acquire the DCII designated signals?

I'm getting ready to buy a 4dtv receiver, feed horn and lnbs. After a great deal of searching it looks like this place has the best pricing. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience, good or bad, with these folks. Sure would be good to know before I get involved with them. Their URL...

About Ku band v/s DVB. Can the BUD with the normal Ku lnb receive the same signals as received on the Pansat 3500? If not, can a Ku lnb and a DVB lnb both be incorporated on the same feed horn. I don't want to jump ahead, but can the same feed horn also accomodate the C band lnb...

I have a Pansat 3500 and a Fortec Star 32" dish on a rotor. The signal strength on the 3500 meter tells me I have a strength level of 92 and a quality level of 75, just for example. (strength actually varies from one channel to another). If the cable between the antenna and the 3500 is no...
