I started out using Netscape, then switched into Mozilla, which I think was sort of the development version of Netscape (may be wrong on that), but then Mozilla seemed to then morph into both SeaMonkey and Firefox. SeaMonkey is bigger, and includes an HTML composer and communications module...

I think this is correct. That's what my 4200 shows on Diag A, line 6 .

I refuse to use IE, except for accessing our town's Hughesnet account, which won't work at all unless you use IE for some reason. I generally use SeaMonkey, or sometimes Firefox. They have a nice little pref-bar add on that allows you to quickly enable or disable things like images, JAVA...

Ever since the downgrade to this new forum look, adds have been popping up making it impossible to read or access portions of the screen for me too. My workaround is to just turn off javascript when using this forum. The adds don't pop up then, and the load time for pages improves by a factor...

I don't think anyone was trying to say that the Twinhan S/Q bars won't change with tuning changes to the dish/polarity, etc. It's just that the S/Q bars on ANY consumer DVB receiver are only relative, and have no absolute meaning. Ie you can't look at the reading you get on the Twinhan and...

I'm pretty sure that the digital service on TBS was a teletext signal. I had (maybe still have) one of those receivers, ie one of those kit things, and I'm pretty sure that TBS was one of the 2 or 3 channels that had teletext. It was pretty slow. I can't remember how it worked, perhaps...

What I remember was way before there were any digicipher receivers, I think it was for the VCII receivers. The VCII receivers had a data port on the back that was supposed to be used with an external box, which I think was the Infocipher thing you mention. When I bought my first VCII, I looked...

The signal strength and quality readings on DVB receivers don't have any absolute meaning. It seems like every receiver manufacturer measures them differently, and they even differ on the same receiver with different firmware versions. So it is futile to try to understand the quality...

Is your 4DTV turned off by chance? IRDs like the 4DTV, if they have a VCII installed, will tend to cycle through channels looking for an active VCII channel, changing polarity, when you turn them off via the remote (they're still on relative to LNB power, etc, just the display goes off). Only...

?? "PBS, Deutsche Welle, California Station" are all vertical. "ION" is horizontal. Ie, not all the same polarity. Or am I missing something (just going by Lyngsat, not on that sat right now.)

Hard to say, re the 1/8" bubble. I would think it would be OK, but it probably depends on the level. My digital level showed my pole off by about that much, and it was still reading like 89.8 deg instead of 90.0, which shouldn't matter much. Tilt to the south doesn't matter at all, because...

The first 4 or 5 actuators I bought all had adjustable limit switches in the box on the actuator. But the actuator I just bought for my new SAMI didn't have adjustable limits, or at least they were only adjustable on one end. Ie there was a cam wheel, and no way to change where the bumps on...

Re the link to the pipe, hard to say, is 3.023 is bigger than the 3.000 that they say the ID of the pipe is. If their ID is a tad bigger, then your pipe might fit in perfectly, but if those specs are accurate, your pipe may not fit. I just looked up the ID of 3" sched 40, which is 3.068, so...

Basically, I'm thinking that you might end up with a mount that is easier to adjust if you DON'T weld your sleeve to the pipe, but clamp your mount to the sleeve, which will then allow you to adjust your mount's azimuth (ie pointing south) by rotating the sleeve over the smaller pipe. This...

One other issue I ran into with the spinclination was that, when I looked at the thing (there weren't any instructions with it for some reason, even though I bought it new), was that I realized that turning the dish clockwise or counter-clockwise would give the same declination angles, so I...

OK, that makes sense. I'm using the 3.5" OD version of what you're using. I don't think it's QUITE as sturdy as sched 40, but almost. It was the only thing I could find at the time. My first dish, I put on real sked 40, and a friend and I split a 21' section, and I think it cost about $30...

? An INCH too small ??? How big is the pole, and can you describe the "clamp"? Most 10' dishes come with a mount that will work with 3" schedule 40 pipe, which has an OD of 3.5". If you by chance bought pipe that was 3" OD instead of 3" Sched 40, then I can see where you might be off by a...

It's not easy to peak by just rotating the dish, because rotating the dish doesn't only change the declination, it also changes the polarization and also changes the longitude along the arc that the dish is aimed at. So the only way to peak by rotating the dish is to make a change, then, after...

I don't know what the price of aluminum is, but I think I would have spent more in gas than I'd get for the metal, plus I'm not sure my trailer would have made the 60 some mile round trip to the nearest metal yard. I had a hard enough time with the 16 mile round trip to our local dump. The...

I guess I'm in the same boat. Yesterday, I took my 10' Orbitron AND my 6' Winegard to the dump. However, I kept a few of the mesh panels from the Orbitron, and I kept the Ajax spinclination mount, and the much less massive mount from the Winegard, just in case someone has a use for it. I've...

Yeah, I have the same observations. The general wisdom says that the 9/10th FEC transponders should be much harder to lock, but I USUALLY don't have problems with the 9/10th, but do have problems with others that should be easy, so it's probably some other issue like interferrence from other...

It's even worse than that. As I posted a few months ago, one of my 4200s finally lost it's battery, and now it can't even play ZK . It tunes and locks transponders, and all menu pages work fine, but ZK and FP channels will not play. This receiver worked fine the last time I used it, several...

cracklin & greenguy... Initially, I had the same thoughts that you both had, however, particularly seeing these comments; "Of course already they have H or V on automatic. How much harder could it be to turn and set a servo thing with the receiver power?" "USALS power could be applied to the...

It's not at all clear re what you're suggesting. Ie first of all, if you're using a G-box, then you can't be using USALS, and I don't understand what you're referring to as "USALS power" anyway. Also you talk about skew control and servos , and applying "USALS power to the LNB", and this...

I agree with skysurfer. There has got to be something seriously wrong with your system if you can't get a lock on the NOAAPORT signal. But more than that, I am a bit mystified when someone who is unable to get reception comes on and tells people who ARE getting reception that they're doing it...
