    Problems with SV8000HD and SG2100

    Thanks for the tips. I actually got it to track and lock transponders using 1.2 late last night. (Tracked from Galaxy 28 @ 89 degrees W to Galaxy 18 @ 123 degree W, and back.) Could this be a problem with my USALS setup? When I set the limits east and west, does this affect both USALS and...

    Problems with SV8000HD and SG2100

    Hey, all. I just bought this receiver last Wednesday, (received it Friday). I spent all weekend trying to get it to work with the rest of my system, with no luck. I have a Digipower SG2100 motor (and a Hotdish 90), but the SV8000HD won't drive it reliably. My cable is fine, a good quality...

    SMART 0.1 DB Universal LNB

    Has anyone done any testing on this LNB yet to see if it indeed merits a "0.1" designation? It looks very interesting for the price.

    Messed up DisEqc 1.2 settings--Help!

    Well, stupid idiot that I am, I just messed up my 1.2 settings last night, and I can't figure out how to get back to square one. I fine tuned the PBS channels on AMC 3 with 1.2 (and was getting a very clear 45-50 quality rating), and then I went to another satellite and fine tuned it. I...

    Slaving Questions

    Thanks for the offer of manual on PDF. I'd already found it on Uniden's website. No luck using your fine instructions. Followed all the steps, but still no dice. Snowy views all the way around. Is there some setting I have to make on the Fortec to get the signal to pass through?

    Slaving Questions

    Thanks for the tips, Iceberg. I can see the Uniden menus, so I'm guessing my video-in setup is okay. My Fortec is bringing in the digital transponders just fine, so I know I'm aimed in the right direction (dish is motorized). I was trying to get the exact transponder you mentioned last...

    Slaving Questions

    I've looked here on the forums for answers to these questions, but I can't seem to find them, so here goes: I'm trying to slave an Uniden Supra analog IRD to my Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra DVB receiver, and having no luck. I put a DC block on the signal out connector on the Fortec between the...

    what do you think of the V box II?

    Let me see if I have this straight. So using this method I would either: 1. Keep the Fortec turned on, and adjust the polarity on the Fortec (is this a fairly easy menu choice?); or 2. Find the correct satellite with the Fortec, then adjust the polarity with the analog receiver (assuming...

    what do you think of the V box II?

    Shawn, Thanks for the advice. Can you (or anyone here) direct me to a thread or other source for slaving the analog receiver to the Fortec?

    what do you think of the V box II?

    I'm going to bump this up, because I too am thinking of using a V-Box II for an application, albeit a slightly different one. I have a couple of questions someone here can probably answer, as well. What I want to do is install a motorized Ku dish to pick up analog wild feeds (college...
