Sweet! thanx guys! And thanx for the link shawn.

Thanx, I'll see whats out there.

Yep, I did that and no change. Maybe I blew something up? When I first got all this stuff I connected and disconnected the motor with the reciever on. Later on I read that thats not a good idea.

I'm glad I got into this after blind scan made its debut, the thought of no blindscan is unbearable. I got a station 2 days ago that was really strange. It picked up TNT, I went back the next day and it was picking up the SCi FI channel, then it went blank. I suppose its some sort of test...

Well, I have to admit this has been more of an adventure than a hobby. I had about 1 week of learning before I got all excited about FTA, then I just made the leap. Where im located the cable is kind of fuzzy and a lot of people just want basic channels on either dish or cable, Me included. I...

Oh I hate this box! I hear a lot of good stuff about it, more mem, faster blind scan etc but the down sides really make me want to take a baseball bat and beat it till its dust. No realtime signal or quality graph during reposition, it shows yes, but it never tells the truth till i exit the...

So, I can't actually use one of the blank ones? There's about 10 with nothing on them. Or can i use one of the blanks and start creating? I didn't catch the rename part untill i went searching for my missing post. The new name makes it a bit more general though. Ok I'll try the non...

On that list you sent us, I see some satellites not listed on the Coolsat Pro 4000. I try to add them where the blank spaces are and all I can do is change the name. There is no way to set a frequency that I can tell. I tried everything. Do you have any idea how to ADD satellites to your...

LOL! Yeah, you'd have missed me by quite a lot. I FINALLY got the Coolsat loader, flashed the firmware with the new factory stuff and things started acting a whole lot better. Problem is, the motor still stops tracking after about the halfway point. I set every satellite to usals, single and...

There is no port sulphur here it's just called plain Sulphur. Double check my zip 70663. See if you get the same readings I did. It wouldn't surprise me if my Satfinder backfired on me.

Well, it looks like a new reciever may have to be the solution. I set the TS right, but everytime I go to my TS sat when checking motorized setup the dish takes off clockwise about 40 or 45 degrees. Does the same thing when Im switching channels. The only solution I have come up with is to...

Ah ok then, I did everything right except for the flashing light thingy. And the beeps are a bad thing huh? Ok then I think I know what happened, the stand I made seems to have been blown sideways a bit, thankfully I paint marked where it goes. Im loaded with stations now, even with manual...

I thought universal was 9750-10750?

Thats pretty much what I was saying earlier. If youre not into tech stuff, always go with easy. But if you want complete control over your video, recording etc then PC is the only way to go. Having already spent the money on the media center box, buying a Tivo is pretty much a slap in the...

I always wait till new year and take myself shopping at cut throat prices. But that Manhattan ST550 receiver Ice mentioned has me drooling. I'm gonna go take a look see now.

Wow tron that actually covers just about all of my questions. Now Tell me if you can make any sense out of this. I got 1 heck of a good signal, AND I used that nice little trick of pre-selecting a station from my true south sat for fine tuning etc. It worked beautifully, Both my bars are nice...

Ok, I finally nailed the TS, LOADS of stations added and viewing is great. You guys werent kidding about moving VERY slowly! All thats left to do is fine tune it all in using the dish tilting and I should pretty much get them all. I would say that im hitting 75% of them perfectly and 25%...

What does one need to view C-Band? Are there any free channels? What equipment is best? Just curious. I have the FTA-ku setup, but I'm hungry for more.

Tivo is no where near as flexible as PC recording. They use a hard drive, we use a hard drive. The similarity ends there. Tivo was developed on a PC and the software is still available on the net. What you DON'T get with Tivo is the editing software that usually comes bundled with any decent...

OMG that usb one is 1 sweet box! That eliminates any port conflicts I would have with an onboard pci card. AAH but it's the PCI card that does hdtv! Well, that would be nice if it also picked up my cable stations. Then I could eliminate my TUL 550, and just use 1 card.

It was, then I moved it to the steel pole I mentioned earlier. No matter where I stand in the yard the compass changes a few degrees. I just finished an hour ago, and it seems that I managed to lock in that 93 deg satellite. It's not the most perfect signal, but the blind scan started at the...

Hmmm, now I have 3 channels, wgno,onn and vyvx educational programming. All 3 are very clear and i have about a 70 on signal. I don't see how this is possible though since wgno is listed on a sat at 74 deg. The only thing that comes to mind is my elevation settings again. The motor is set to...

I promise not to write a novel here, though that is a hobby of mine. I have 5 of em in the works now. What I haven't done up to this point is describe my bottom line motivation for Sat and video systems, so maybe with a better understanding of what I'm after you can get an idea of what I plan...

Hey! I like those jumpin Jesus channels. Though there seems to be a WHOLE lot of em on Satellite.

There I was, holding my breath, just HOPING you wouldn't give up! LMAO! Sort of reminds me of... well.... ME! These guys have the patience of Job. The only thing I can compare this to is when I have to talk people through a DSL setup. Modem setup is no vacation either. Well, Mine is...
