I have two 510 DVRs. Dish sent notice they need to be replaced. The person on the phone said my owned receivers would be changed out with leased ones. I've been out of contract for some time. Is there a way to reduce DVR fees? What about a multi tuner receiver? What kind of receiver do you...

Was scrolling though channels looking for strong watchable transponders. Came across How it's Made (Discovery channel) with subtitles (arabic or farsi, perhaps) and english language sound. 97ºW G-19 - 12115V 22425 - Iranian TV Canada At the top of each segment there was a "Courtesy...

Iceberg's tale of the neighbor who went passive-aggressive on him got me to thinking. What is it that people dislike about satellite dishes? They don't make a lot of noise. They don't make odor. They don't chase you down the street. They don't require much care. :p They give you years of...

I'm using a Visionsat DVR receiver to make recordings for later viewing. Some of the recordings are really big. It seems like hard drives are usually formatted in FAT32, which has a 4GB size limit. One HD program I tried to record on the Visionsat is listed as 13GB in size. How can that be...

I am trying to use a X-10 Powermid IR receiver / transmitter to operate a Visionsat FTA receiver. It's really sluggish and awkward. Sometimes the key presses register more than once or not at all. Also, after pressing a remote key, it takes about 3-5 seconds to see the resulting action...

Was watching the MJ concert prep on Azteca 7. Then about two thirds of the way through the picture went to black and sound vanished. Checked neighoring Azteca 13 on the mux and it was OK. Later Azteca 13 crapped out as well. Proyecto 40 is still OK on vpid 300 and the color bars are still...

This isn't a quote, just trying to prevent that stupid web link embedding the SG website tries to force on you... It does it with you tube also... How does that work? A hop to Europe and then a hop over the Atlantic to the USA or what? I believe it was 10 AM there and here it is 10 PM. That...

I have a Visionsat PDF manual, that has the old style remote. (without PVR) Is there a Visionsat IV200 manual available... one that has the PVR functions?

What commercials don't you care for? :rant: You know, the ones that make you want to change the channel, look away, turn down the volume or that drive you crazy? I have one in mind, but I will wait to post it until later, if no one else does.

What DVB software if any do you use on a PC that works with USALS to position a motor? How easy is it to use?

There are Fortec Passion and Passion + HD receivers available for sale on eBay from the UK. I sent the seller a message. They will not ship outside of the European Union. What's the hold up for sale to the US?

By now, probably most people who watch RTV from 83ºW Ku band know the RTV West feed was replaced by Tuff TV. After this change, it seems like people may have been affected somehow. How were you affected?

It sounds like a bit much to ask perhaps, but: Is there a way to tell where a DiSEqC / USALS dish is currently pointed? Do motors talk bidirectional protocol?

Picked up some Spaun multiswitches. I am trying to figure out how to use them. Not sure what to do with the attached settings... What is SMATV-LNB? Which of these settings corresponds with the ones for say... a 4X8 multiswitch as in Anole's thread? I have a hunch, but don't want to...

Why (if ever) would you use a terminating resistor on an FTA setup? Coax on an FTA setup has DC power on it, so that would seem to be a good reason not to use one. Or, am I missing something?

My dish was steered on 97º for Brian's support of 3ABN, ostensibly. Afterward, I looked at a couple of channels on that bird. One of them was Russia Today. Couldn't hear the audio, so I pressed the Info button and saw a Dolby symbol. Turned on the DVD Player and then there was sound...

Is it just me, or did prices for Prof Tuners online store go way way up? I remember pricing a 7301 and a 8000 and they seemed to cost $20 less than now. At that time, they were not shipping because of Chinese New Year. :( Or maybe, shipping got cheaper and the receiver prices went...

I use a Skywalker 1 looped out of a Fortec Merc II. From time to time, Sometimes there's a problem where TP's the Merc scans in don't work on the Skywalker 1. Case in point, today I tried pulling in Macy's on 105ºW. The Merc sees it on 11854V 3550. Plugged those numbers into the Skywalker...
