Bummer Between PSB and "the Berg"...I was able to get my FTA setup slaved to my 4dtv...they save me hrs! GOOD LUCK PETE! Yes mr. Ice ...I am still lurking about but just have not been posting...Winter is here so I will be around a bit more! Regards to all Jeff

I have not looked at it yet...but here is the link for their new manual http://www.viewsatusa.com/VS2000-Manual-rev0106.pdf

I am setup this way MY 20+ yr old 8 ft Perf Alum dish with 2 old Norstat LNB's attached to a 4DTV and HDD200...then a Viewsat Extreme FTA STB is attached to the KU leg via a HF (Power passthru on one leg only...Important) splitter...beautiful FTA too!!!! Good luck

Rain...where be rain? RAIN...LUCKY DOG.... This week it finally fell below 100 degrees in Reno. Well we did have a deluge last week during the biggest thunder storm I have seen in 30 yrs here!....HOT RAIN!:mad: Glad the Iceberg got you fixed up!

I guess I am lucky Was using FTA (One of my favorites!)...now I will have to find it on the BUD! (did not know it was there!) Jeff

My 8 ft BUD Hi Tim: My 8 ft Winegard was pretty easy to set up for both KU and C bands. KU was a little twitchy but it gets all I want it to get. It also has to do with where you are in the sat's footprint. of course as has been said before...Bigger=better whre a BUD is involved. handling the...

Bad memories! Geez Tron: Ya just made me remember putting in the pole and dish on my 8 footer upteen yrs ago...uggh. Too old now! Good luck with it! jeff

Welcome back! KatrinaSucks...why not give it another go...stick around as you have been missed! jeff

Congrats on the find Hey Tron: Nice find for your friend...especially with you around to help him!!!! After FTA, maybe you could fit it with a 15-17d C band LNB and get him into 4dtv too!:D regards jeff

Viewsat extreme quirkey The extreme does not have a quailty meter on screen with reference numbers like the Coolsats do. If you want the reference numbers...you have to go to instation settings. 2( the newest factory firmware has messed up my real time clock...biggest quirk seems to be its...

Thanks but Until Coolsat or another manufacturer comes with a HD FTA set that is affordable with the NEW HDMI connectors...(the ones that are not out yet) I am going to sit tight! When something comes...then I will move...Not like it doesn't work...I just want better! regards jeff

Probably would make a fine boat anchor too! If I was not attached to a BUD...would have ditched it long ago! Hey...2 cups and a string can be used instead of a phone too!:D Jeff

Viewsat Exteme....bleh I have posted this before...I bought an Extreme BEFORE discovering this forum...WISH I HAD FOUND THE FORUM 1ST! It works but is very quirky! As PSB said...there are better and the sponsers here are really supportive too! Luckily, My FTA set was attached to a...

Second that too Or is this 3rd that? I have the Viewsat Extreme w/ true Hardware blindscan. I purchased it BEFORE discovering this forum. The Blindscasn works fine but the box has a lot of issues...Poor USALS implimentation, poor PQ meter setup and the "new factory" firmware messed...

I like it but... Noticed it still has a DVI connector...I would have to dig around to locate MY converter cable (TO HDMI) or use the components....everything is filling up quickly behind my setup!:D err...a little pricy to say the least...Like as in retail 4dtv prices! (or very...

Just what I have been waiting for! :neener Sure hope they hurry up...Been waiting for an excuse to Ebay the Viewsat Extreme (Extreme POS...that is) That last firmware upgrade killed the RTC ...also caused a lack of stability on some birds...(No it is not the LNB since all is well on...

Wasp(s) be-gone :) Yo Tron... Since I got that zapper(s) I only see one every once in a while! My feedhorn is empty (only Lnb's) and so is the mailbox!!:D I go out for practice a few times a day but have had trouble of late locating any! Yesterday I did locate one early in the...

Damn...NOW THAT'S FUNNY! Animals just love these things...wonder if they have secret TV sets too!:D Now I know why my BUD is on a different Bird from time to time...someone (thing) must have its own remote!:D :D :D jeff

My Thanks as well Would like to add MY THANKS as well for both info ans THE LAUGHS!!!:D Jeff

Here'as an oldie The only problem is that someone needs to be close to where they are! In the old days,when we were kids...we used to hammer a pin into the coax , on someone running a linear amp on CItizen's Band,..then clip off the head of the pin!:D ...OH WHAT A MESS IT MADE:D :D :D...

nevada weather Don't know where you are in Nevada or when you posted, but we had one heck of a windstorm come thru Reno this weekend...about 80 mph....vibrated my BUD around, and FTA and KU (4dtv) were a problem for me too! C Band is just so forgiving...but even that shook around a bit...

Isn't Photoshop great! I am working on a new one for the Iceberg It is a "Hacker Hammer":) BTW: LIKE THE MUPPETS ONE! IT SHOULD BECOME A "STAMP" FOR HACKER POSTS...LIKE THE "URGENT" STAMP! Shhhh...don't tell him.... Good thing I live far far away>>>>MR ICE appears to be a rather...

Also....check out Also there is a car paint that turns the rust into a paintible surface! I have used both that and the rustolium paint (primer color matched my Winegard BUD pretty well...1st I do a VERY light hand sanding to get rid of the uneveness and then the paint (get it from Walmart...

He sure help me..Now I can assist others here! Iceberg is doing a great job and has helped so many of us, I cannot express my own gratitude!! Please never stop! When we stop learning, we start dying! I try to help others on the C-band group with their 4dtv's since I have been at it...
