    Receiver Identifing Satellite

    They don't have a built-in search, but you can manually search at http://www.lyngsat-address.com/tv/index_0.html After you find the station, click on the link, and it will take you to a page that lists all the satellites they transmit on.

    Sunspots

    It's not SUNSPOTS that cause the problem. It's the fact that the sun will be directly behind a satellite that cause the outages. This effects all satellites in geosynchronus orbit in the Clark Belt. Here is a good explanation of it: http://www.panamsat.com/global_network/solar_activity.asp...

    I'm not getting any program guide information...Help!

    In NA, only a couple of channels have an EPG. Most do not.

    Digicypher free to air channels

    Only the SC 921 will work.

    Why no EPG?

    The 4dtv is not picking the guide up from each satellite. The guide comes from a specific satellite and is downloaded to the receiver nightly.

    FTA Local Channels

    No. At a minimum you'll need to add a bigger dish and point it to a different satellite. Or you'll need to put up an antenna to receive them OTA. Now, if you were looking for hacking information, this is not the place to be.

    DSR905 on a KU only system

    One more time, No. Not for consumer use only. It's just a feature of the unit. It might be capable of "ku only" for business users, though. It's also possible, if you have the correct equipment, to upload your own maps to the unit. But the software that used to allow this, no longer works...

    Strange results with FTA on BUD and 4dtv

    The polarity of a virtual channel is based on the underlying transponder that it is associated with. A poorly adjusted skew setting on the underlying transponder and a strong signal could cause the results that you are seeing.

    DSR905 4DTV Digital Sidecar - By Motorola

    There are some signal on both C and Ku, but a 4DTV MUST be able to receive C band so that it can download the channel maps it needs to operate. It also can't move a dish, so any receiver it is paired with, must be able to move the dish.

    8PSK USB adapter for PCs

    The Dish signal isn't always encrypted. Also, it was real nice to have when Voom was still around. They were always testing their signal and dropping the encryption.

    Pansat 6000 *.PVR conversion

    They are probably straight transport streams. Most viewers capable of mpeg2 video should work. You might need to change the extension from PVR to MPG though.

    FTA Component out...no DVI/HDMI?

    There is very little use for HD in the rest of the world and since the North American market is usually an afterthought, that's why the connections are uncommon.

    Rack Mounted FTA w/HD Setup

    About the only one still in production in is the Motorola DSR-922. What are you actually trying to do with the setup? Is there a specific channel that you are hoping to get? You might need a commercial receiver instead. If you want to see more than one sat, you'll need a polar mount...
