How am I supposed to get into the transfer menu on the 722k? It seems to only come up if I use the help menu then cancel, but I have to do that a couple of times. It's not very intuitive, and I was just curious to what I am supposed to press on my regular remote so I can program my harmony...

I got tired of dismal performance of my 625 TV2 remote.... I bought one of those ebay HDTV antennas and put on my receiver. Now my remote works from across the house, across the yard, and down my driveway.... Just an idea for those with garbage UHF remote range.

With a legacy reciever, can I use a DPP 44 Power inserter to power the thing instead of a DP Adapter?

It's a Twinhan Starbox 1, with remote (remote never taken out of plastic). I'll take $50 shipped for it, I originally wanted it for a mobile FTA project, but haven't the time to make that a viable project any more. My loss is your gain! I do Money order or Paypal

I can't find my Twinhan USB power supply, does anyone know what rating it is?

The shipping from Sadoun was SUPER FAST! they shipped it Tuesday, and Friday, I'm watching TV! Inside the well packaged box was a .90m dish, a Digipower 2100 motor, and the reciever, along with a Universal LNB. First, assembly of the Fortec Star 90P dish was pretty straightforward, even...

How exactly do multiswitches work? I see people using them, but how are the inputs switched and such? How do they blend the channels, and how does the reciever split them back apart?

I just mounted a couple poles today.... nice and concreted in...... Now for the yeller santa to arrive with the goods, and we'll get going!

I am wanting to get a weatherfax setup, well, just because ;) Has anyone played with them and what kind of setup do you have?

I just hate it when people on E-bay cancel bids when they aren't getting what they want for something because they didn't set a reserve price. I just had a vender cancel my bid on a Viewsat Extreme because "The item is no longer avaliable" when they have 4 other auctions open for the same...

I just had a thought come to me... maybe someone can tell me if this is a good/bad idea. I was thinking of using a used security multiplexer to feed my TV multiple recievers so I can do more than one thing at one time (I.e. scan with one reciever while watching the other without A/B switches and...

My Direc PC dish won't skew enough. It goes to 40, and I need 43.6 :( There is another set of holes in the LNB, if I move the LNB to the next set of holes, how much does it affect the skew I need to set on the dish? Thanks!

I have one 2 3/8" pole mounted in the ground, concreted in nicely and I have another one ready for a bucket mount. (5 gal bucket, 100 lb concrete) I have 2 dishes, my just arrived Andrew .90m offset and the DirecPC dish. Which dish should I put on what mount? I was thinking of pointing...

I've been having switch troubles... again, I think this goes back to my "When you buy cheap stuff, you have cheap stuff" problems I got when I first started out. I finally think I found the solution to my problem. I came across the Chieta WSD-2041 http://www.chieta.com/WSD.htm Has...

I just got in my DirecPC dish with it's feedhorn. It looks like it is a linear H/V feedhorn (it has 2 pins inside it, bolted to a C120 flange. Will this LNB work or did they do something to it so it won't work for FTA? If not, I am assuming a standard C120 LNB will bolt right up to it? (I'm...

I need a dish elevation bracket for a 30" or so dish. one that you have laying around with a warped pan attached to it would be perfect! Thanks!

I'm setting up a portable dish system to take camping with me, and I want to use my laptop. What's a good USB card to use to get G10R?

I assume I need a card, but after reading a few threads, I'm even more lost. I assume these will control diseqc switches etc? I would like to set up a DVR of sorts on an unused machine, PCI is probally going to be the way to go since I am lacking the USB 2.0 ports (but I could get an adapter...

Does anyone know a way to modify a Motosat Direcway internet dish to recieve FTA channels? I have a line on one for $500 and it would be nice to use it both for my internet and FTA channels while away. It'd mount nicely to the top of my popup camper and look sweet at the campground. it's a...

I want one of the 50mm tubes for the SG 2100... Where in the world to get one? I figured Ebay, but no joy.

I came home today to no signal.. (at all) Turns out my DiSEqC switch died. all 4 ports, dead to the world. The back of the case was slightly dented, letting moisture inside and corroding all the internal stuff. The dent pulled the seal away slightly so the water could get in. The switch is in...

I've been reading a lot, trying to debate replacing my flimsy 30" dish I got off e-bay... My Andrew .90 didn't show up, is backordered 4-6 weeks, and even then might not even come in. I have decided on a 100cm dish to put on my motor (the motor is an SG 2100, says 1.2m, so 1m should give it...

Ok, say I am on Daystar, I assume the loop out will pass the V side from that Diseqc port on the L side of the LNB? So how that works is the 2nd reciever can get the same satellite (same port, same pol.) but a different channel through the loop out? Is there another way to add a reciever...

Are there any good magazines/books avaliable for FTA? like an "FTA for dummies"? I remember "Orbit" a long time ago for the BUD... what is avaliable now for those who have FTA dishes?

I thought I would give back a little to the place, since you guys have helped me so much ;) When installing a motor, do not depress the "reset" button if it is off it's reference mark ("0"). Even though you are having problems, they are your problems with a poor job of alignment, not the...
