    Just canceled Orby

    I have absolutely no animosity towards the Orby organization. The Orby tech support was the best I've ever experienced. Ever The Orby equipment works fine. It's just that there a couple channels I refuse to support in any way. I don't want liberal or conservative politics in my entertainment...

    Is anyone else using a Cloner Box Pro with their Orby receiver?

    I've been using the Cloner Box Pro for about 4 months now. At first, I had problems with the DVR corrupting SD cards to the point they could not be reformatted. Since I started using (cheap) TeamGroup 32 GB SD's I haven't had any problems at all. The Cloner Box seems to be similar in features...

    DTV World LNB for Orby

    Don't know. But, new high performance LNB's are dirt cheap.

    Orby terminated my service after I upgraded -- without cause!

    I guessing Orby monitors this forum.

    Figured Out Why I Have Intermittent Orby Reception

    I now have an Orby dish installed. Mounted the "J" pole on the side of the garage. Assembled the dish inside the house and preset the dish elevation and skew to dishpointer spec. Ploped the dish on "J" pole and turned dish to where Eutelsat should be. BAM! Instant signal 91/83.

    Figured Out Why I Have Intermittent Orby Reception

    2 months for me. I get text messages every day from Orby! Sometimes, I get 5 or 6 text messages a day from Orby. CRAZY! Pay $40 and get one month free.

    Figured Out Why I Have Intermittent Orby Reception

    I tried to run the coax through about 75' of conduit to the garage. No go! I think I might have used short 90 degree couplers instead of the pre-formed sweeping 90" bends. A fish tape refuses to take the bend on either end. How stupid was I to use those tight 90 degree fittings? Yes, really...

    Figured Out Why I Have Intermittent Orby Reception

    Looks like the total cable run will be about 130'. I'll try to run the coax first. I have a pull string in the conduit out to my garage, hoping the pull string in the conduit doesn't break.

    Figured Out Why I Have Intermittent Orby Reception

    I raised the dish about a foot on the pole in hopes that would be just enough to get the signal. Didn't help. Does anyone know the longest acceptable cable run using high quality RG-6 and the Orby dish kit?

    Figured Out Why I Have Intermittent Orby Reception

    I get a solid signal on every Ku satellite on the arc except Eutelsat 116.8 W. Here's why:

    Program Guide Question

    Since I don't have a meter that outputs LNB voltages, I adapted Brian's suggestion to what was available. Here's a diagram of my "fix". Maybe this will save others some grief. (Obviously both the red and green are on the center conductors.) Once the update is complete, the splitter and power...

    Program Guide Question

    UNBELIEVABLE!!! Titanium: Thank you so much for the reply and the information! I removed a 2-way splitter from my OTA system. This splitter has a DC path and a capacitor coupled path. Hooked up the DC path to my FTA receiver and set it to 13 volts out with the 22 Khz turned on. Hooked up the...

    Program Guide Question

    Update: Spent about 45 minutes on the phone with Orby tech support. We went through all their trouble shooting steps. It was determined the receiver was defective. Went to Best Buy to get a replacement. New receiver acts the same as the original. Apparently, my signal strength of 99/86 is...

    Issues finding satellite

    Did my install on Wednesday. I found that it was necessary to back and forth between the connect dish and the signal strength pages to get the signal to show on the bars (up to 15x before the signal would register in at 99/85). I'm starting to think I have a bad receiver even though it's working...

    Program Guide Question

    This is for the Orby channels not OTA (OTA not connected yet). My program guide states " no information available". This message appears when hitting the "Guide" button or when looking at individual channels. All the guide graphics are there, but no program info in the windows. Is there some...

    DVR Question

    Thanks for the replys. I ended up ordering the standard Orby from Best Buy last Friday while it was on sale. I should have gone to the store to pick one up. My order shipped yesterday and will not arrive until next Wednesday. Installed a diode steered splitter and cable. Ready to plug in the Orby!

    40% off Orby TV receivers and DVRs at Best Buy - 11/21 - 11/23

    I just bought an Orby for $63.29 delivered on eBay. The local Best Buy has Orby in stock, but at 16 mpg it's cheaper to have one shipped. Plus, if I went to Best Buy, I'd probably end up buying MORE stuff I don't need :) .
