    GI DSR-410DS Battery

    Hi, Just took a voltage measurement of the battery in my '410. It reads 3.198 v. Is this good for a while yet, or does this measurement indicate a failure in the foreseeable future ?

    concrete base question

    And now the other end of the spectrum.... I have 3 BUDs. One 10 foot and two 7.5 footers. They are all in 3 foot deep x 1 foot augered holes. I think the holes took 3 or 4 bags each. The 3.5 inch pipes have one small fin welded to them. I leveled the pipes with a digital angle finder and...

    Help keep C band subscription alive

    I reluctantly canceled my SRL sub last night after 4 months. I set up a system that is part FTA for the PR nets and 4DTV for the other channels. The wife could not go without FX, and I was forced back to the pizza pan (Oh the humanity). When I was on the phone, I said that if they made some of...

    This is sad

    DishmanDan, Basically, I removed the oven rack type reflectors and the driven element (where the coax attaches) from the antenna boom. I then measured the distance from the reflector to the driven element and mounted them on a new piece of tubing. I am in Norwich, about 65 miles from Syracuse...

    This is sad

    Ok, I couldn't resist. I drug up an old not so true Kaultronics perforated dish I had lying down in the back yard staged with other stuff for fall cleanup. I found a piece of square aluminum tubing from an old tv antenna, and made a modified 91 xg. This consisted the reflector and DE. I then...

    DSR 410 Battery Replacement.

    I need to replace the battery in my newly acquired 910. I can find no procedure on Sat Guys . The 922 has a cylindrical battery, and the 910 has a button cell, so the procedure for the 922 will not work. Any ideas?

    Voltage Polarity Switch.

    Hi Gabs, Long time.... I found a source from your suggestions, (maybe I was typing wrong) thanks. I have several of the new LNBs, but I'm installing a W5 fixed system and I'm not sure that the new LNBs will work with a DSR 910. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    RTN Feeds (East/West) on 83W AMC 9

    Skew Matters ? Just for grins, I played with the skew on the 83w LNB. I found I could raise and lower the quality of the NBC News Channel test pattern by changing the skew. With NBC at 94 %, RTN was lost on the Coolsat 6000 with a 62% quality. I then reduced the skew which lowered the quality...

    RTN again

    For info: Threw up another 1.2 meter Channel Master on 83w with a $9.00 LNB. Nailed it on the second try. 72% on Coolsat 6000 Looks like 1.2 may be minimum for reliable reception? Same dish with SNH-031 gives 94% on 123w with the Same receiver....

    How to program W5 into DSR 905

    Does any one have any experience blind scanning 105, I'm trying to get the dish peaked on it. I am using my Coolsat 6000, and I can only get 25% quality. I think I saw "American Life Tv" in the clear on Lyngsat, but no channel scans in.
