My elderly father recently had an issue with his DTV receiver (a Genie of some sort, I haven't paid close attention...he just calls it his "tower") on a Friday a few weeks ago.

    Sat dish snow and ice removal? No problem!

    The manual super soaker delivery method would work ok for most of us here in the more southern areas of the country, but an automated high-capacity method (i.e. pump, hoses and tanks) may be necessary for you Yankees. :biggrin Image courtesy of imgur.com!

    GEOSATpro microHD: MFEBL (My First Endless Boot Loop)

    My microHD went into an endless boot loop this morning, apparently caused by the same/similar events as described in this thread. In my case: I re-positioned an LNBF (SL1PLL) on my T55 antenna from 103W to 101W this morning and successfully scanned in the Pentagon Channel and a few others with...
