    KVLA audio problem on G19, TP 11836

    Hi, I've got a CaptiveWorks 600S Premium. I can get TP 11836, and the various VN stations with normal audio, but KVLA channel has strange audio, which sounds like an echo... hard to watch/listen to their programming. I think I have the TP settings correct, according to Lyngsat... Thoughts...

    Need wiring help with Echostar 4000 SRD C-band receiver

    Can you circle where this motor cover is located (see my previous posted pictures)? I see the actuator arm.. is that the motor? Yes, I did the test inside the house. Again, I don't know where this motor cover is located.. the actual arm looks like a thick pole/piston... Also, since it's been...

    Ok, touch those two wires to my 12v marine deep cycle batteries and just see some spark at the wires when I touch them and don't see the dish move at all.. what does that mean? I even held the wires to the battery terminals, but no movement...

    Thanks! Ok, I'll just touch those thick white and red wires to + and - terminals of my 12V car battery and see if the dish moves, I hope. If it does work, then I assume reversing the wires to move the dish the other direction... If it feels stuck, then I will quickly remove the wires. I...

    So, which two wires from my bulk cable from the dish can I put against my 12v battery to manually try to see if the dish moves left or right?

    Are you talking about the wires at the actuator itself, I assume.. not the feedhorn wires (it's got a cap so I can't see any wires sticking out of it).

    Need wiring help with Echostar 4000 SRD C-band receiver

    Yes, the cable/wires and the receiver are all original. This setup worked 8 years ago before I disconnected the receiver and wires from it. I didn't touch any wires to the dish itself. Also, I am stuck on 121W and I don't see any analog channels. But if I hook upmy MPEG2 receiver, I get this...

    Yes, I can remove the VC2 module from it just fine. Actually I could not find any analog / NTSC signal channel at all, remember, I am stuck on V polarity on 121 W.

    Need wiring help with Echostar 4000 SRD C-band receiver

    My SRD-4000 unit is self-contained... my setup is just the dish itself , the wires to the receiver, and the receiver itself... there has never been any external power supply or motor unit to this receiver, when it worked 8 years ago, before I disconnected the wires and cables and stored the...

    Need wiring help with Echostar 4000 SRD C-band receiver

    yes, there is a cover on the feedhorn... I will try to take a picture of the feedhorn and actuator when I get a chance... The actuator I can get too via ladder. but the feedhorn is in the middle of the dish mesh and not sure how to access it w/o stepping into the mesh dish itself...

    Need wiring help with Echostar 4000 SRD C-band receiver

    Ok, assuming the color mappings are correct as you stated... I found my remote control and when I tried to switch to another satellite, I would hear a click from the receiver (which was normal me I did this).. but then the SRD-4000 would give me E-14 error on display, which means "motor limit...

    Need wiring help with Echostar 4000 SRD C-band receiver

    Hmmm. it was working (servor) about 8 years ago when I disconnected the wires... I guess after 8 years of non-use , it could have died... darn it... So do you have a link to where to get this new PLL C band LNBF so it has no moving parts and for this VBox mover too?

    Need wiring help with Echostar 4000 SRD C-band receiver

    So, I think I have both set of wires connected to SRD-4000. Now usually on this model, if you tune to odd channels the LNB switches to H (or V) polarity. Then if you tune to even channels, it flips to the other polarity. The current situation is that on my FTA/MPEG2 box, I can watch BON and RT...

    I see.. I was still hoping that someone knows a universal remote that can control this old sat SRD4000 remote.

    Need wiring help with Echostar 4000 SRD C-band receiver

    I see... so the colors got mapped from the wire to the screw leads on the receiver. Oh, BTW, the actuator is a SuperJack II+ HQ model. I will try those wire connections later, but can't seem to find the remote for the receiver, which does not have any more controls than channel up and down. Is...

    My EchoStar receiver does NOT have external power supply. The PS is internal to the unit itself.

    Need wiring help with Echostar 4000 SRD C-band receiver

    Here's my user manual I found discussing the wires. So I can see where the white and green wires go. But the remaining two wires are orange and red... So looking at the manual, it's confusing where to put these two wires in the remaining 3 slots (since it said the red slot should not be used...

    MPEG4/HD FTA receiver recommendation?

    Hello, I currently have MPEG2 FTA box and looking to get a new MPEG4/HD FTA box so I can get those CTV channels on 107.3W on C-band. Would like to keep it under $100. PVR and other advanced features would be great, if possible... I'll look thru the Review forum when I get a chance, but in the...

    Ok, here are the pictures... the front and back of receiver and the bare wires from the dish itself. Note the receiver has five screw slots and the corresponding 4-colored-wire set goes into there, but dont know which slot to go in.

    ** Thanks for the reply. Ok, so now I know how to wire the 3-wire bundle with colors and the label on the receiver where the 3 wires go to... Next, I have to figure out the 5-wire bundle (the wires have various colors for each wire). The receiver end is not marked, it's got 5-slots for me to...
