    HDVR1200 S:80% Q:00%

    I replaced my DVR1100c with the HDVR1200 with no changes to the dish. After completing the setup and the restart I experienced a Q:00% but it went away with a power disconnect/connect. Then all was OK until today, I turned it on late and it came up on Ch 106 and the Q:00% was back. Power...

    How to Access HDVR1200 Manual

    I have the HDVR1200 Glorystar receiver but it comes with only an installation guide which says, "Download the latest GEOSATpro HDVR1200 Owners Manual at: www.geosatpro.com/manuals". However I can only find links to the MicroHD, two installation guides and two links to GEOSATpro DVR1100c, DSR100c...

    Auto Updates

    Normally on Tuesdays I find my DVR-1100c on and set to channel 1. For at least two weeks this hasn't been the case. Do I have a problem or have we missed a couple of updates? My time was off a minute or so as well.

    Maxtor OneTouch 4Pus Anomaly

    This is one of those situations with too many changes at one time. I went into the advanced mode for the DVR1100c and tried to record GLC on a timer using the Maxtor OneTouch 4Plus hard drive. My first error was that I apparently have to use the "all channel" channel number rather than my "fav...

    Source for Advanced User Set-up

    I tried to re-enter the advanced mode but things work somewhat differently and I can't recover all my channels. Is there a forum or instruction I can go to for detailed scan instructions for the DVR-1100c? With an all channel scan all the GloryStar G-19 channels don't show up and I can't get...

    DVR-1100c Recording Quality

    I have noticed that my recordings are not as sharp as they used to be. In fact the last couple of tries weren't worth transfering to DVD. Also I am experiencing more lip synch problems. I am using a Maxtor OneTouch 4 Pus as the hard drive am I missing something in setup that would let me select...

    DVR1100c Timer Won't Work for Scrambled Channels

    I tried several times to timer record the audio for channel 2221 (Fox News) to no avail. The channel would change but the USB didn't activate. I realize it is a scrambled channel but thought the timer would work since instant record works on scrambled channels.

    Empirical Antenna Solutions

    When my DT13 moved to VHF it was a stretch for my LaCrosse antenna. Antenna position for analog ch13 was always a multi-path battle which changed with seasons. As I was re-pointing the LaCrosse my wife noticed that reception was better when I was touching the coax. I tried various things like...

    Tubing Cutter for Coax

    Not wanting to invest in a coax stripping tool for what is hopefully a one time task, I decided to improvise. In my plumbing tools I found a small tubing cutter with a rotary wheel. To get that 5" coax to connect my UVSJ diplexer to my amplifier and other made to length cables I first cut them...

    Lip Synch Problem - Resolved

    I have noticed on several occasions a lip synch problem with my favorite program on GLC. When this happens in prime time I often just watch something else and since the program repeats three times in a 24 hour period I record one of the repeats for viewing and it's OK. Also, I have noticed that...

    DVR-1100c Start Record Freeze - Resolved

    A program came on that I wanted to capture so I hit start record (button 28) on the remote. At the end of the program I hit stop (button 29) only to find all was frozen. I finally had to turn the unit off at the rear panel so my recording was not saved. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Can't Find 123W

    I have a DVR-1100c operating in the Glorystar mode, I can't find a screen that offers the Advanced hobbyist Mode. I have a 4x1 switch and a second dish for G18. AMC2/4 is on port 1, G19 is on port 2 and G18 on port 3. I can't find anything for G18, but surfing through the satellite list a signal...

    Replacing 2x1 Switch With 4x1

    I am adding a second dish for G18 to a Glorystar DVR-1100c system. The 2x1 switch is a 22kHz switch what must I do to set up for operation of a 4x1 diseqc switch?

    Hour Angle for Glorystar 99?

    I posted on FTA but got no response. Basically I am doing a "poor man's H-H" only to achieve a skewed dish on Glorystar. Since I don't have an unrestricted view of the arc I will be setting up on the Glorystar 99 position. I am improvising a protractor to show hour angle for my polar axis but...

    Anyone Motorized the Geosat Pro 90cm?

    Has Anyone Motorized the Geosat Pro 90cm dish? I hadn't planned to but when considering adding a cranked arm to achieve an elevation less than 10 degrees for the poor man's H-H mount I realized the elevation bracket pivot bolt blocks the top of the bracket. If I try to use a cranked arm from the...

    Adding Second Dish to DVR-1100c

    I am going to add a second dish (considering the Geosat Pro 90cm) and a four port switch to pick up 123W. My DVR-1100c manual is the Glorystar edition and doesn't address adding dishes or changing switch configurations. Is there a standard manual download available for the FTA version, or where...

    Non-motorized Polar Mount?

    Does anyone know of an adjustable polar mount (off the shelf or home design) for those of us who don't want to motorize? Such a mount would make it easier to take a peak at the arc to see what's available and maybe give slightly better performance for offset dishes.

    Love That Bubble!

    I came home yesterday afternoon to find that I had none of my favorite channels. There had been a momentary power outage while I was out and I feared that a surge may have taken me out as even the time was reset to default. I went to all channels and found 3ABN to be present but SQ down by 50%...

    Peek at 123?

    I have the standard one room Glorystar setup with the DVR-1100c. I am surrounded by trees and have to choose my dish location accordingly, thus when foliage is out my Glorystar dish position won't stand a chance for a look at 123. Before investing in that second dish I would like to take a peek...

    What is the difference in blind scan and all channel scan with the DVR-1100c? What would be examples of use of each?

    Would Like To See Low Cost Movies

    I would like to see a low cost movie service compatible with fta receivers. Just think if someone did it they wouldn't have to worry about retailers and installers since we do our own. However the down side is that if hacked there probably wouldn't be enough legit subscribers to keep them afloat.

    Ground Block Location

    With my current installation most of the coax run is in my attic so the ground block is located near where the coax enters the house. I am contemplating a move of the dish from the fascia of my house to a metal pole approx 50 ft. away from the house. My question is; 1) should the ground block...
