    OK vs FAIL during Blind Scan

    This is too much fun! Motor is set up and working great! When I do a blind scan on a single (or multiple) sats, what does it mean during the scan when it says "FAIL" next to a transponder vs "OK" ?

    True South vs True South *satellite*

    There are a lot of conflicting statements around the web when it comes to setting up a motorized dish. Should you aim it to -no kidding- true south, or aim it to the closest satellite to true south for your location? For us here, it's the difference between 167 degrees for true south, vs 169...

    SG2100 Won't Move at All (brand new motor)

    Hey guys! Please forgive me if this is in the wrong spot, but I felt it didn't belong in the MicroHD forum, since the receiver seems to be working (and it's awesome by the way). I finally took the plunge and ordered all my equipment to get going with FTA for the first time, and have read...

    Request Opinions on SV-HD8000

    Ok, so I'm well on my way to FTA. Today I ordered a 31" dish, linear LNB, and SG2100 motor. I got my hands on a used Sonicview SV-HD8000, but haven't been able to find out how relevant it is. Seems like it was one of those makes/models that was more marketed to hackers years ago, but has...

    Will FTA Help My Football Situation?

    Hey guys! Since we've moved to Utah, and with Dish dropping every channel except infomercials ... like BTN ... we aren't getting to watch one single game that we are interested in. We even had better luck in Phoenix! I've been interested in FTA anyways, but now after losing BTN (which I know...

    612 and 722k Capabilities?

    Hey guys, after doing some searching across the web, I'm still left with some ?s. Could someone please explain to me the multi-tuner capabilities of our 612 and 722k? For the discussion, let's assume I do not and will not have anything to do with OTA ever. How many channels can the 612...

    21.0 IR/UHF Pro remote - need to erase macro

    Hey guys! We have a 21.0 IR/UHF pro remote that changes all of our tv's (as long as they're within IR range) to channel 60 anytime we press the SAT button! This is driving me nuts! I found in the manual (pg 13) something about macros and discrete power on/off, but none of that seemed to help...

    Need an Xbox 360 without the gaming aspect! Need my fellow nerds' help!

    My wife and I are looking for a device to hook up to her upstairs TV that is definitely capable of streaming Netflix, and movies shared on the networked computer (much like the capabilities of our Xbox 360, but it's hooked up to the big screen). As a bonus, we'd like Pandora too, but I don't...

    Need remote code for Sony STR-DE845 receiver and 6.3 IR/UHF Pro remote

    Hey guys and gals. I've looked everywhere and can't find the code that works. The one I found a year or so back with a Google search wasn't perfect, but it was close enough to do all the functions I needed, but I'm stupid and I didn't write it down. I've tried all the codes listed in the...

    Why so many redundant sports channels / Blackout question

    I just tried to tune to a Texas A&M v Oklahoma football game on ESPN2 Alternate - it shows up in the "All Sub" guide, but when selected it tells me it's blacked out. The message says to check the regional sports channels (which I think I'm getting due to the $7/month multi-sport package)...

    Can't hook up legacy Dish receiver

    Hi everyone. Really nice site. I freakin love everything tech. Anyways onto my prob. I've searched and read and read, and everything I read leads me to believe this is possible, but I'm still unable to do it. I'm trying to hook up my Dishpro (PVR508) and legacy 6000 to a Dishpro Plus Twin...
