SATs 110 and 119 are at least ten degrees to the lower right of 101 ... One of these days I might look up what my AIM is "seeing" when it's getting such a strong signal from an incorrect source, but it's honestly never concerned me, I'm just aware that it does and increase my elevation by about...

I'm not sure what those SATs are, but I know for a fact my Aim hits on them all the time... Mid East Coast they're low to the left of DTV's... You'll get a great signal strength (almost too good) but never a lock... My tried and proven resolution is to aim purposefully high then work down from...

Just reread your post (in full this time)... You're clearly aware of the tuning parameters... (sorry) So just skip past that blather and try my suggested process, it's always worked for me... I'm in the middle east coast so my tilts are never far from sixty... But tilt settings are another...

First let's clarify terms... Tilt is the deviation of the reflector from horizontal and should be set at between 60-62° (I always just lock mine at 60 unless tuning for an SL5 or RB5)... Azimuth and Elevation are the common adjustment parameters... A bent dish will present problems on SATs 99...

... I'd avoid the HS17, get the 44 upgraded to the 54, and swap the C41 for the C61K. The RB3 is also no charge, and all of this should cost nothing (except the adding of 4K content to your regular programming). Watch the tech when he swaps the lnb and make sure he performs the EIV test at the...

If it were me I'd just keep what I had and let a technician hook everything up on a "move" ticket. No renewed commitment and just continuing your original package leaves your options open should the cable company prove to have a more attractive offer, plus you'll still have the option to...

No more than to get any other Genie (HR44, HR54) that I'm aware of. "Your mileage may vary" ;)

It always seems to be "hit or miss" for me trying to force updates ... was shown the way I described and seemed to have better success with it.

Yes, but only if you have a power inserter at the location where the Genie used to be (and also assuming that the unused cable in the room you're moving it into is still connected to the splitter) unless you want to rearrange the connections at the splitter. The HR54 and HS17 have power...

Yep, that's me ... lol ... just put one in, a week or so ago, for a new customer here in North Carolina.

All the more reason to try forcing an update of the software on the Genie. Press MENU, then SETTINGS & HELP, then SETTINGS and the beginning screen will be INFO & TEST. Read the date which should at least as new than this January. I believe the latest software is 0xd8f if I'm not mistaken. If it...

Mine works just fine. The best part of ISP connectivity (imho) is being able to jump into a live show half-way through it and reset to the beginning. Try forcing a software update and see if that helps.

If you split the cable and have two different boxes feeding each TV they won't be exactly in sync. The easiest way is to utilize the multiple outputs (HDMI, Component, Composite) from the same box to feed each of the two TVs .... it's called "mirroring". ;)

Any WiFi routers should to be at least four feet away from the WVB to eliminate any possible interference. For clarity, by "Genie2" are you referring to the HS17 (triangle shaped tower) or an HR44 or HR54 (there's a lot of confusion about that nickname). The HS17 has the WVB built into it and...

... Try relocating the WVB and client to optimize the wireless connection's signal strength.

Yeah ok, if you have an external power inserter then you can easily swap the boxes around (like with the 44) AND have 4K capability. So I see your point. Although actually you can still swap boxes around without an external power inserter as long as you reassign the cable at the 54's new...

Yeah, crazy, isn't it ... The server (HR54 or HS17) does deliver the 4K to the client (C61K) but does not have the capability to DISPLAY that content it's self and, by the way, the HS17 "Genie 2" does not have the capability to display ANY content to a TV hence it's called a "Headless Server"...

... Ummm, come to think of it I'm wrong about the not needing a new minie, You WILL STILL need a C61K minie (even if the 4K tv is at the Genie), because the Genie doesn't deliver 4K directly. I'm not sure what it'll cost you, but you can call and find out.

Yes, of course .... plus you'll need upgraded minies too (C-61K) unless the only 4K tv is at the 54.

Yep, I've had to do quite a few work order mods because I'd advise the customer they are about to lose all of their recordings. I'm in the habit of just saying "Genie 2" because it's understood, in NC, that refers to the HS17 tower but I agree it certainly can get confusing. If I had a bunch of...

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I look at the Genie 2's requirement of being the only receiver allowed as a detriment considering it only has three more receivers than a 44 or 54. A 54 is needed for 4K and, having no such "me and only me allowed" receiver restriction, would actually be my preference...

I've been installing the Genie 2 for new customers for the past four or five months, so I don't know why someone would say they're only for upgrades, sounds fishy to me. Techs like that upgrade package because it's usually also accompanied by wireless minies, which makes the installation much...

Yes, with non-SWM LNBs failed odds or evens can be caused by cables because there's four of them coming from the LNB going to either a multiswitch or a SWM module (as texasbrit pointed out). Barring a failed cable (meaning more likely just the connector at either end, but sometimes the actual...

Nice catch :hatsoff

Yes, because the multiswitch is part of the LNB for SWM systems.
