Thanks a lot.

any advise ?

The sellers on these receivers state that D* did not want to have them back. They are old, outdated models and not worth the shipping costs .

I am planing to purchase a old/used Directv HD receiver. The sole purpose will be to use it as a signal meter but for nothing else. I am spending a lot of time on the field to fine tune and my subscription receiver is often in danger of tropical rain damage. Ka signal meters are much more...

I understand that my location is similar to havanajoe. Havanajoe, what size of dish(s) are you using. Can you provide pics ? I am using an HR22 & SWM. My receiver will only boot up completely between 8am and 3pm. The other times my receiver will get stuck at 98%, sometimes earlier. The boot-up...

I switched now to a SWM set-up and things seem to have slightly improved. I do have less error messages about updates, the signal strength is still the same. Further I have tried a Sonora power amp LA281R but reception got actually worse. With the amp it dropped some 101W tps and also lowered...

GoalTV channel 456 is on 119W; I am a passionate soccer fan ! I am looking for 3 different power amps (Inline amps will not work sufficiently): * between 119W lnb and switch * between 103W lnb and switch (remember I am combining 119 and 103 with a PVDP-2PP before feeding it into the 6x8 and...

Ok, thanks Iceberg.

I am asking about the "Flexport". I could not find an exact description what these ports are for. What frequencies do the Flexports take/require ?

Has anyone actually tried these 2 Flexports ? It says they are for 72.5W and 95W. Could you also use the Flexport for 119W by using a separate round dish ? Thanks !

I am looking at these Sonora Power Inserters/Amps . . . rather complicated equipment. http://sonoradesign.com/content/tutorials/ any advise for a quality Amp for non-SWM or SWM (between Slimline (or SWM 8) and receiver ?

I have a rather complicated set-up. Due to my location I had to work with 3 different and large sat dishes and 4 separate LNBs for 99/101/103/119. see my set-up summery at: http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/309927-first-time-set-up/page47 I am using a Slimline5 multi-switch and a PVDP-2PP...

Here are some additional observations I forgot to mention: * when combining the 119W with the 103W with the PVDP-2PP Diplexer I do loose some transponders on 103(ca). 103(ca) has much lower readings with signals between 39 and 56 while the 103(cb) has signals of 71 to 85. * If I do not use the...

Couldn't have done it w/o the great help and knowledge of Rafaelccs.

119W: On a 9 foot dish I changed the LNB from a Dishpro (for 119W Dishnetwork) to a regular Directv lnb for 119W Directv. 103W: a Hawaii/Alaska triple Lnb mounted on a 6 foot dish. Only one feedhorn of the triple lnb --located in the dish's focal point-- gets the signal. That's why the LNB is...

Thanks for all your help. You are my hero :) It's mostly rainy now and I can't go out with the receiver to add the 119W but I am eager to add GolTV. thanks again.

I received the correct switches to combine the two separate LNBs for 99W and 101W. Works fine with the PVDP-2PP. Now I am perfectly set up for 99W, 101W and 103W. Now I am trying to add 119W. Thanks, wolfgang

I wired the Directv 119W LNB to the 103LNB as shown above in the yellow schematic but just left the 110 LNB off: Two cables from the dual Legacy LNB to the Hawaii/Alaska LNB input for 110 and 119. I also tried a single wire. No signal arrived at the switch in any combination. Any idea ? thanks

I wired the Directv 119W LNB to the 103LNB as shown above in the yellow schematic but just left the 110 LNB off: Two cables from the dual Legacy LNB to the Hawaii/Alaska LNB input for 110 and 119. I also tried just one single wire. No signal arrived at the switch. Any idea ? thanks

ok, got a SW64 switch and it needs two inputs from each Lnb; did not know that before. * Please define the "regular legacy 3x4 multiswitch" I will need to order. What I find with my search for the term are all combiners/splitters to combine cable and sat. Here are the setup instructions for...

I can remember, some years ago, I moved the sat dishes into the back. The cable run became quite long, so that I had to upgrade from DP34 switch to DPP44 with power inserter. Meanwhile I have upgraded to good quality RG11 and i will have to test if the bigger cable will support the long run and...

ok, that's good news, thanks Raf ! Now, why would I need 2 cables per provider ? I would be using a dual Legacy LNB with 2 outputs, one for Dish and one for Directv. for Dishnetwork: There is certainly only one cable line needed from the LNB to feed a Legacy switch for Dishnetwork. for...

I have now placed the Hawaii/Alaska LNB on a separate 1.8m dish to receive 103W. This LNB has two plug ins: one for 110W and another for 119W. My dishnetwork setup 110W/119W is Dish Pro Plus. If I want to double use the 119W lnb for both (Directv and Dishnetwork) I would have to purchase and...

ok, got another afternoon in; hot and sweaty :) got a signal for 119W for Directv ! I used the 8 foot dish in use for 119W Dishnetwork; change the LNB from Dishpro to Legacy and got the following readings (I did not move the dish at all, just changed LNBs): Q: what transponder is GolTV 456...

I do not have power out there at the sat dishes.
