I have a StarChoice DSR 505 HD receiver. For the past week or so the system would lock up at times when I changed the channel – would just get a black screen. Holding down the power button or unplugging the box would solve the problem. But yesterday it happened and I haven’t been able to get the...

You're welcome. Glad you got it installed. The numbers do look a little low. I had the best improvement when I peaked my dish by adjusting the skew. I'd start there if I were you and then move on to Az and El to determine your best numbers.

To get to the Options page on DSR 505 do the following: Press options 6,4,9,7,7 Screen should read Diagnostic Data 1 Press enter, screen should read Diagnostic A, arrow right, screen should read Diagnotic B On the 505 you want Diagnostic B to determine your EBNO. The reading is at the...

That would make sense - your skew angle is dependent upon your longitude relative to the satellite's position and not what side of GMT you are on (it was late and I was tired when I wrote that :) ). Using a program like Satellite Finder gave me numbers like 31.5. At first I had my skew set to...

Hey TimeHorse - the skew can be set from 0 to 180 and the degrees are listed on the plate. The default is 90, straight up and down. Turn the dish to the left (facing it from behind) for values >90 and to the right for values <90. Many of the programs I came across gave me a skew value like 31.5...

Slightly different question. Can you use a diplexor with Starchoice and Cable? I read somewhere that StarChoice requires a direct connection from the LNB to the receiver - no diplexor, switches or amplifiers. Is this correct? I'd prefer to use a diplexor instead of fishing cable through walls...

Good Luck TimeHorse. I'm going to attempt the install myself; everything from fishing cable through walls to drilling holes through the foundation - what fun. I might need the number of a professional installer by the time I'm done. :)

Update - I received an email form Kusat today stating that my order is being processed and shipped today.

I'm in the same boat. I ordered a 505 75cm system on the 26th and still have not received it. I did receive a call from Kusat on Wednesday. They stated they are waiting on the 75cm dish. The company they receive them from is conducting inventory, which is the reason for the delay. They stated...
