99.2w and 101w C Band seem to be a great place to sit. If you have a 6' or 8', you might be able to park it inbetween and get both. I sometimes do that, so I get the 99w MUX, along with MeTV and THIS.

I just activated it on my account. I was able to receive what my package "Ontario Value Package" gave me, off of 107w Ku. Of course it was all SD, but it was done with the help of their tech staff.

You can still activate a DSR921 with Shaw Direct. I did one about 10 days ago and was the first one that any of them could recollect for years. All of the tech people wanted the glory. It took 3 days, but was done after a while. Too bad I converted it to free to air with MapMasters. :) I kept...

I read somewhere that they may be replacing that quirky sat at 103w. That might correct the problem with the oddball skew. Rumour has it, that it would be the sat at 87w. Maybe it'll kill two birds with one stone here. If might allow for a stronger satellite, for 87w, fixing the Luken Mux and...

It's one of the old round one's, with the old single LNB. These have been around, since the first DBS Canadian services, went into service. I even have an old Alphastar dish, to mess with too. I must have about 5 of the E Dishes, but they aren't really useable, because they're setup for a 4...

I'm using an old Starchoice Ku Band Dish, 32". I'm using the old L LNB, that was prevelent with Expressvu and Starchoice, back in the late 1990's. I've held on to allot of old dishes to play with, along side my C band Dish. I also use a 36" dish for the Luken channels, on 83w.

OK, I put up the dedicated dish, got it pointed and was able to get some of the NBC channels. I was able to get the three NBC's at 11760H transponder. However, I have had no luck with 11840H or 11881H. I've got very good signal strength and quality, but no such luck with these other two...

I want to set up a dedicated dish for this, so I don't have to mess with the C Band dish. So looking straight at the dish, looking at the LNB. If it's pointing either straight down, at 6 o'clock, I need to move the LNB 4 degrees to the right, to get what I need. Correct?

Before I make an attempt at this, your saying that the Ku LNB needs to be at zero? Or, 4 degrees counter clockwise? Is this a similar setup, like 83w, with the Luken channels, set at zero?

Just to let you guys know, all is good, since I got the Mapmasters bin on my 921. I completed my system and I was able to stumble on to some programming on 105w, the first day. It's nice to have C Band working, after 15 years without it. It's fun scanning the sky, looking for those feeds...

Just to let you know. The USBBDM NT came with a 10 pin socket, plus two sets of pins. A 10 pin set and a 14 pin set. This may be the correct one, mentioned above.

Next step in my C band quest, was mounting the pole plum in the back yard. It's done, now I wait for a new LNB to be delivered. I am having problems finding some 16AWG 4, shielded outside cable, for the actuator arm. The dish is on the ground, ready to be mounted, the actuator is on the...

OK, new battery has been put into the 921. I turned on the receiver, pulled the old battery out, and soldered in the replacement. The voltage never dropped below 3.5volts, the whole time, so I assume all is now good to proceed. I would like to take an image of my bin, how would I do this? I...

My new battery for my 921 should be here anyday now. I want to JTAG an image of my current Starchoice bin, so I have a copy of it. Once I get the battery exchanged, I will active the sub, for a couple of hours to get the clock reset. My next question: What program do I use to JTAG the...

Still looking for the battery. Spent some time stateside, but couldn't locate one, last weekend. I then went on a quest today, looking for one, in Canada. What a nightmare! They are either on backorder, or they can't get them shipped from outside the country. The Chinese are willing to send...

OK, tested the IRD(921) and found that the IRD number is intact, so I can now go about the task of changing the battery. I assume that you get the rack out of the way, so you can reach it, then you plug the machine in, while you do the replacement. Checked some prices for the replacements, in...

My first post here, on your fine site. So here goes: Recently, I've moved to a new location. Back in the early 90's, I was a C Band user, but had to move to a new city and could not put up a BUD. In the late 1990's I purchased a Starchoice 921 and never used it on a bud. I did however, use...
