    Are 4DTV's Good for Anything Anymore?

    I have noted that the signal on the old X4 location went from 1 to 99 for a few hours on 900 but nothing seemed to be transmitted. Mode was ZK Clock which was off reset correctly and correct time was displayed on screen. No idea what is going on

    Future of C-Band Paid Programming

    I have seen that so often. People pay for local television even in an area where a coat hanger gets good reception! What do you get for your money? Popups on screen during program, insolently large LOGO getting ever closer to the center of the screen, commercials often more entertaining than...

    DISTANT NETWORKS

    Thanks for the Replies. Will configure C Band & KU for needed reception. Direct TV not acceptable due to company reputation problems.

    DISTANT NETWORKS

    Is there any chance of this service (DNS) on C Band since AAD went kaput on Dish. Present legislation has basically snuffed the market creating defacto censorship of news across the nation. People cannot be considered a market by anyone to be exploited by local network stations. We don't...

    What to do now?

    Don't Trash your dish. Get a HD FTA receiver, the guys around here can give you some direction. You can get HD and who cares about 4DTV which really isn't anymore. Use your 922 or such as a positioner and analog receiver.

    Free Map Master

    I agree with your assessment. I myself use it for a positioner. I do find in the clear analog signals. I do find in the clear VC2 signals. Weird Stuff! and yes from the hobby standpoint there is a lot you can do. My point is that for most the effort is a thing of diminishing returns and...

    Free Map Master

    Yeah, I guess he does not see it as worth the effort. The thing is whether you pay the Cicero gang to do it or do it yourself is there really anything that you would find to justify the cost time and effort. Some will do it just to see that it can be done and that is good, but it seems to be...

    Are 4DTV Receivers still in Demand?

    What does your signal quality look like when the picture goes out. Had that a few years ago and it was traced to local TI sources. Also note what particular satellite & signal source is. Would like to know. To waterbug. I think something got damaged on the motherboard. You should get...

    Can't get digital lock on 922.

    That is a sorry state of affairs. Actually I did the VC2 replacement first for practice. Forgot to note that there are a few parts to the needed disassembly so keeping a record of where everything goes is important. Mark all connections so they go back exactly! Keep the VC2 cage intact just in...

    Can't get digital lock on 922.

    First check out your soldering skills. Practice on any junked board. Batteries in a flash and others can supply your batteries. You tube has instructions. Warning: Wear eye protection and arm protection. If your shootin sparks this would not be a day to do it. One finger spark will dork the...

    AMC-18 Nasa-TV Problem

    Interfering signal most likely TI. Some signal sources have to power down at sunset. Also possibly the signal is just bad, NASA is not what it used to be. If it is clean on your end, as it increasingly appears to be, the problem is not on your end.

    HITS Package Prices Increased

    Positioner inaccuracy, amplifier section at dish, water intrusion and insects may be initial problems to look for. All of these can cause transient problems. :o

    DSR 922 No Guide on H2H

    Try sitting on 900. If that does not work call SRL and let them attack the problem. There are numerous avenues that they can use.

    Helping a friend bring life back to C Band Dish or Maybe Not

    Make sure the cable is swept for high frequency. Some are good only for OTA work. Use quad shield like Dish network uses. Good stuff.

    going back to C-band

    Check with Skyvision for parts and programming subs. Do searches for FTA reseivers. Read the postings on this forum and check you tube for BUD installation. :)

    Helping a friend bring life back to C Band Dish or Maybe Not

    Does it have to be that high? The pole may be flexing enough to throw things off. Another thing is bad or inappropriate cable. Check the reciever at the dish if this continues with a known good cable. The run may be too long.

    H2H acting very strange tonite anyone else?

    Might have got a corrupted hit. I have seen my 922 do weird things too but not recently. What you described happens to my dish network system but rarely also.

    Clock 1 hour off on 922.

    I understand. Had mine for many years and I am the second owner. Wish it could tell me about its first owner. :)

    Clock 1 hour off on 922.

    The 920 or 922 get this once in a while and will usually get over the problem by themseves if parked on the X4 sat. :)Go to WalMart or something like that and get a alarm clock with numerical display for less than $20.00. No sub or sat dish required and display of similar size.

    I have an HTS BUD, want to bring it back from the dead.

    You will need to do some evaluation and investigation. You need to remove the weather cone on the dish to see what equipment if any is in there. Also try to find out where in your house that cable set went and the entry point.. This will save you much work. Do internet searches for FTA...

    webSAMS messed up again so I say goodbye to H2H

    I understand the predicament. I had 4DTV, Dish, Cable & H2H at various times. What do I watch? HGTV, The Military Channel, DIY, HI, THC, and distant networks. Thats about it. The rest is OTA programing which is free. FTA is a great hobby but always in flux. I had those subs mainly for...

    webSAMS messed up again so I say goodbye to H2H

    Oh heck, you get banned if you don't like porno! Also bullied on the 101. Seems hypocritical but then closely checkout a certain music related site. Stay away from dark alleys in Cicero Illinois. :coffee

    webSAMS messed up again so I say goodbye to H2H

    Talk about computers. The number of sites that don't work recently seems to be rapidly increasing. Tested my connection speeds and they are above average but on some sites including this one things are really slow. Sometimes all I have to do is go back and then do it again and it works. Just...

    !0 Foot Dish 4DTV Reciever

    If it is that it is a good dish. Looks funny in the photo though. Maybe camera is distorting the image. That mesh looks like it would work fine for KU. Mine is a 10 foot Pinnacle by Weingard so maybe yours is the earlier or later model. Plug in that 4dtv and see if the ID matches what is on...
