    Fortec Pin Code

    If nothing else works, you can hook the Lifetime Classic NA up to a computer using a female to female NULL modem cable and flash it with the original factory firmware. That should reset everything back to defaults.

    Contest: Enter to Win a Mini BUD from Satellite AV

    My favorite summer activity growing up was to either go fishing or golfing with my dad. Sometimes he would take my brother and I fishing. Sometimes we would just tag along when he went golfing. I always remember getting a red cream soda out of the soda machine called "Red Lightning".

    Cheapest way to get just HD LiLs and as little else as possible.

    Can you hook up a deactivated Dish 942 DVR just to receive OTA HD channels? Would you have to have it connected to a Dish satellite (like the 811 does) for it to work? Are they going to completely make 942's completely stop working (even for just OTA HD) with a future software update?

    DISH 811 no purple cards

    I have an 811 that I use for SD and OTA. I just got my purple card about a week ago and put it in. I hope it works after the switchover. I have no interest in HD from Dish as I already pay enough a month now.

    Saw this on Help Me Howard on WPIX

    I'm not saying it's not right, just some people need to be more aware. Maybe they need to read the fine print or pay more attention when talking to someone about getting new equipment.

    Flat cable wire caused fire

    Everyone in your complex is using flat cables? :eek: Maybe you should move (or at least make sure your smoke detector is working). The best way to get a signal inside is to drill a hole in the wall and run a cable through the wall.

    101w KUIL with visionsat

    I just checked for KUIL. It's on there, yesterday it was off for awhile. Sometimes only a black screen would come up. I think they had troubles because of the hurricane.

    5710 test channel

    I just found this channel on my receiver. I have an 811 I have subbed just for SD channels only. So your saying Discovery wants Dish to provide HD theater to every subscriber? But they don't tell them how to do it? Reminds me of when I drove cross-country for a trucking company a couple of...

    convert superdish to true fta use

    Here's how I mounted my lnb to the end. I didn't put it in the end, I tried to line it up like the original lnb pointed at the dish. It was just my best guess looking at it.

    Super dish question?

    I have a Superdish that was used for 105 that I use for AMC4. It gets everything good enough to watch but KUIL is the weakest. I took off the original LNB and replaced it with another linear LNB.

    Free Receiver of the Week Contest 6.12.2008 - Satellite AV

    The first entertainment center I remember had an AM/FM stereo radio, turntable, and an 8 track player. The unit was one of those ones that had the lid you lifted up. We also had a Quasar console color tv - with the works in a drawer. That was supposed to make it easier to work on (when they...
