    What kind of pole?

    I like to use "schedule 40" (thick and heavy duty) steel pipe. Purchase from a plumbing supply house or a steel dealer.

    American Life on G4R?

    It is free as long as your 4dtv- DCII unit is turned on for something - but their is no subscription fee for it. Combat is great :)

    Satworks.....alive And Well

    I still really like my good old 3618. I had an ultra and now have a coolsat and still like to use the satworks for scanning and just erase everything when i'm done. I really don't like the way these units add everything they find into your main channel list.

    Blind Scan

    I don't understand how someone can come here look the site over, register and still come out and ask how they can get 110 & 119 for free. They really should know better and just call their local police and ask them directly.

    Satwork 3688 won't recognize LNB

    I would be interested in knowing what was wrong if you find anything out.

    I've got this thing and it's supposed to do some stuff!

    What kind of dish and lnb are you using?

    Satwork 3688 won't recognize LNB

    Well I still say hook a short coax jumper to the satwork lnb connector and check the voltage for each polarity. Maybe the satwork is only putting out on one polarity. Then when it's slaved the pansat is supplying voltage for the other. That would explain why it works when hooked to the pansat.

    Satwork 3688 won't recognize LNB

    What's going on here doesn't make any sense. If the satwork can change polarity then it must be putting out voltage. If it's putting out voltage then the lnbf is getting power. The satwork is able to pick up and tune signal when slaved. So the satwork is doing the same thing the pansat is doing...

    Satwork 3688 won't recognize LNB

    The plot thickins..........Hell yeah that makes a difference..... my understanding is the polarity is voltage controlled which is what the 13/18 means on the setup screen 13v for vertical / 18v for horizontal. At this point I would unhook everything from the 3688 and plug the coax into back...

    Satwork 3688 won't recognize LNB

    Well check both - on mine with it plugged into the wall and everything else on the back of the unit unplugged I screwed a short 2' coax jumper onto the lnb connector and read 19.34 volts dc between the center conductor and where the connector is crimped to the coax. Then I would open the unit up...

    Satwork 3688 won't recognize LNB

    Not looking good but for the hell of it I would turn on the 12v, skew and 22k just to see if it had any effect. If your adventurous check that power cable inside with a volt meter on mine the voltages are labled. As a last resort maybe pick up an old el cheapo analog c/ku reciever on fleabay and...

    Satwork 3688 won't recognize LNB

    My 3618 has no option for lnb power that I can see and since a 3618 can be turned into a 3688 lnb power must be software controlled. I would go with a factory reset first then flash it with factory software if that didn't work. I opened the case on mine and had a look. All the power to the main...

    Satwork 3688 won't recognize LNB

    Have you tried both of your lnb outputs on the the satwork to rule out coax/lnb problems? I have a 3618 and have had no problems powering my lnbs

    Would it be ok to post a link to an asia/pacific forum for him? Not sure what the rules are here.

    Channel check request "AmericanLife TV Network" G 4R 99W Ku or G1R C band.

    It's open key (so far at least) you will have to have some kind programming authorized even if it's just the guide.
