    Back to square 1

    you may have something there... I seem to remember that the 922 did it on both and 920 was digital only on the S video. That would explain why it did that.

    I tried it with my CS6100 and only got about 7 on the meter so I still have some work to do. I had the rotation pinned with an 1/8 drill bit for lineup.The actuator had moved without the counter wire hooked up so I re aimed that.now just need to find something that can verify aiming.

    Back to square 1

    Ive used a BUD for over 25 years.Started with a Channel Master 8 ft rotary dial with LNAs and a down converter.Everything was FTA. Upgraded as time went by to keep up with the encoding/scrambling. I parked the newest dish,a 10 ft channel master and GI/Motorola 920 when it reached the 1080 count...

    update factory file without losing other data

    agree that you have the option of saving files via USB but how to reintroduce the ones you want to keep after a reinstall is whats puzzling I think it will be faster for me to copy all info and duplicate after a new install.

    blew the dust off

    so I guess what youre saying is to give up on the CS and KU and try the 922? is there any way to use the decoder in the 922?

    Can two antennas be combined?

    No its just one antenna. 10 AWG solid wire bent to the shape of a "J". The specs for certain frequency are very critical in building it. I wanted channel 2(RF freq 11) as I couldnt get it with my other antennas very well. The bonus was all the channels come in with this.

    Can two antennas be combined?

    I couldnt get an antenna to get all the stations I wanted so I made one. It works better than any of my store bought ones. Right now its sitting in my window sill inside the house and does better than the one thats 25' in the air. It took me about 1/2 hr to round up the materials and another 1/2...
