    DSR922 Manufacture Date

    Wow - thank you Hermitman. That would mean my dsr922 with a serial number of XXXXXX4293XXXXXX was manufactured around October 20, 2004 (figuring backwards). I guess I will wait on the battery replacement (reads 3.2v, label says 3v). I did replace my videocipher module since it says manufactured...

    Help with Winegard Declination

    :confused: This is my first post! Recently a hail storm trashed my Big Dish (Unimesh) and figured that was reason I couldn't tune into KU signals (I just was upgrading to KU when it hailed) and the mesh seems to have too big of holes in it anyway. I ran across a Winegard with a Ajak 180 degree...
