    channel called "movies"

    I'm able to pull it in. No channel name for me, playing an old western. Not sure why my Q shows low here, it's playing no prob. *edit* Are you using the micro HD? I see some members have had issues recently with this channel, I think Brian was working on a firmware upgrade to fix it, I also saw...

    Maybe my first BUD - Questions

    Hey guys, little update.. Got my Vbox and been setting things up and watching TV. I'm covering from 72-139 just fine, the 4:2:2 CBS feeds all good. I did try to find Simon Bolivar but no luck, according to sat beams I'm in the C footprint and my 10 footer should be enough to get something...

    Maybe my first BUD - Questions

    I've done no tuning, my vbox gets here tomorrow. Do you have a particular feed you have issues with that I could try to hit tomorrow? This dish was previously setup (not by me) and I didn't move it, I just ran new cables to it.

    Maybe my first BUD - Questions

    Well she's alive, sort of. :D Finally got around to hooking it all up last night before I left the office. Checked the modified multiswitch, 18V coming out of all the ports. Got all my wires to the MDF and a PC loaded up. My VBox doesn't arrive until tomorrow but I decided to do a blind scan...

    Maybe my first BUD - Questions

    Just one PC Tuner @ the office. I can multicast the transport stream if anyone else wants to see. So I should have a spare RG11 and a spare RG6 up there, I'll hook the KU up but how do you motorize a 1M Channel Master dish? Same STAB type that is on my 30" at home? No need to answer that, I...

    Maybe my first BUD - Questions

    2 RG11 lines run through conduit, 12/2 AWG run for voltage and a cat6 run for sensor. I also ran an RG6 incase I ever need to power the multiswitch from inside.. not sure how will that would work over a 250+ ft run but hopefully I can just use it for an OTA antenna. Should be tweaking next week...

    Maybe my first BUD - Questions

    Thanks guys, I may just order some RG11 to be safe. The dish should already be aimed correctly, but if I need to tweak it I'd be using a birdog, laptop/prof7500 and a vbox since I cannot find a gbox anywhere.

    Maybe my first BUD - Questions

    Thanks guys! It's about ~275 feet. The plan is to use the whole spool so 3-4 total runs. I'm trying to track down some 12AWG for the motor, but a 500' spool isn't cheap. It's all going on a roof and inside 1 1/2" conduit for UV protection, plan is to put 3-4 RG6 lines in there 12/2 AWG and 3...

    Maybe my first BUD - Questions

    Can anyone give me input on this RG6? This is what I have a 1000' spool of. http://www.belden.com/techdatas/english/633948.pdf Would this be suitable for a >300ft run or should I get something else? What is the difference between RG6 and RG6/U?

    Maybe my first BUD - Questions

    Making some progress, been pretty busy. Picked up an SWA-48 and did Pendragon's 18V mod to it. Found a spool of 1000' Belden lying around. Just need some wire for the actuator and sensor!

    Maybe my first BUD - Questions

    Thank you all for the comments - I will try and reply back each at a time... Stanleyjohn - It was a 4DTV setup at one time. A DSR-920 Motorola that lost its UID. So it's only good as a mover, but I don't think thats the route I will go. Anole - I'm pretty sure my tape was tight, although I was...

    Maybe my first BUD - Questions

    Hi Guys - I have the opportunity to use the old BUD at my office. It's been abandoned for at least 10 years. It would need to be completely re-wired as the original actuator cables are turning to dust. I won't be moving it, I can use it at it's current spot. The mesh looks good to me, I saw one...

    DSR-920 Dead Battery?

    Absolutely, I'm not that type of person.

    DSR-920 Dead Battery?

    Thanks guys! I will probably just sell it and put the money towards a better receiver for my current KU setup. Won't have a BUD for awhile.

    DSR-920 Dead Battery?

    Hey guys - I think I already know, but looking to confirm. I got this DSR-920 for free last week. First thing I did was try and verify if the UID had been lost. Looking at my diag screens none of the numbers match the any of the numbers on the back of the unit. If the number is lost I guess this...
