Ice, I believe this was the site: http://www.northernmostsat.com/ but for some reason, I cannot log onto it today. Weird! Thank you Stargaze and PrinceLH. I'm going to have to come back to the C band install later, as now I am pressured to get AMC 9 up on our Ku rig and my receiver doesn't even...

I stumbled across this message on a programming website. The message was not dated: "Motorola has ended all activations of Cband 4dtv Receivers. Because of this we had to stop selling Cband programming. I suggest that you convert your CBAND system to a FTA system to get all the free...

5150, got it. Thanks, Corrado!

I bought the wrong LNBF I just found out from some of the members on the C-band forum that I bought the wrong LNBF to hook up to my 4DTV. I bought the Eagle Aspen C-Band Stacked LNBF with a scalar ring. It was a blowout sale... they were going for $29.00 as I recall. Now I find out that the...

No wonder these were on a blowout sale. I'll just toss it on the pile of scrap satellite parts in my garage. Can you tell me what I now need to buy, and from whom? Thanks.

It's an Eagle Aspen C-Band Stacked LNBF, with scalar ring included. Man, you're making this sound too easy. I went through flames back in Las Vegas with my old rig. I'm actually looking forward to this new install. I bought the polar mount antenna and a slightly oversized (24") actuator.

Okay, that sounds good, but does my ancient 4DTV unit know that? Also, I remember something about autoskew. How does that fit in with this newer LNBF? And thanks for your help.

I just bought a new LNBF (to mount on my new 1.8m dish) from a dealer that used to be listed at the top of this page. To my surprise, the only connector on the thing is the F connector for the signal. There are no terminals for skew or polarization. What have I done? My old ten footer required...

I'll go up on the roof and assess the situation. If it breaks down that easily, I'll take it. But if it is too much trouble, it stays. Remember, I already know that I would have to replace the LNB. It may be easier to find an unused fully functional BUD in Monterey County.

Again, I have been away... sorry to anyone who is interested in this thread. We are almost finished now, so here is what happened: .. Even though SPS has an email-only tech support policy, the sheer volume of my emails finally convinced one of their techs to phone me concerning the Sci-Fi...

Wow, this thread has been moved. Sorry, I've been away for awhile, to the SPS and NPS sites, trying to get the Sci-Fi channel to work. I guess this topic is more accurate, since we've moved away from the setup and gotten into reception. .. As I look at the past few posts, I need to update: ***...

That's an interesting possibility, that the remote may have been previously programmed to skip to every other channel. I sure don't know where they mention it in the manual, which I downloaded Monday. There is far more information on the NPS website, than in the manual.

Sorry Lak, I didn't mean to skip over your post. I did the soft reset procedure as you described and magic!! All the subscribed channels (except for one) came through, the FTA channels are still there, and the clock now displays what must be East Coast time. Amazing! After all this work, we can...

Although you are far more experienced at this Euro, I know what it told me to do. Since you have called me to question in front of who knows how many people, I have gone back and photographed the first part of the series of a dozen or more channels it sent me to, in search of my VideoCipher...

Well, I caved in to overwhelming pressure on this end. I know you would have preferred that we went with NPS, but my son wanted the other guy's package. So I signed up using a phony VideoCipher number, but using our actual Unit Id. The Hits counter then went up from zero to 8, so I thought all...

No longer used? I've been beating myself up over that foolish pink thing! .. This whole project has been for my oldest son. So I showed him the packages, from NPS, but he wasn't satisfied with the combination of programs offered. Any of them. After searching the web, he found what he wanted from...

The NPS website is loaded with good info. I was able to find out that my receiver's memory was full, requiring a master reset, which I did. After that, I had to start all over again programming satellites back in. NPS website also recommends a new servo motor for my polarizer, based on my...

That's it for today. NPS tomorrow. .. Thanks, Lak. ..

Where do I find the updated channel list? .. C3 is gone. X9 has now appeared on my screen of Satellite choices. G1 seems to be the same.

Okay, I'm on my way to unplug it for two minutes. And then plug it back in, I assume. .. Then in twenty or thirty more minutes, something will have happened.

G1 Channel 5, the Arts are coming through loud and mostly clear. There's a little bit of snow that we don't see over in our Ku band setup, so maybe it's just because the receiver is old. .. Down on channel 3, it's just as you said, nothing viewable, no sound, but the DCII light is on.

Just horizontal (odd channels, right?). .. I turned the receiver around and found a broken terminal connector, the kind you have to push down with your finger while inserting the wire. The red wire was just hanging there, so I doubled it up and jammed it into the hole. .. Here's my observation...

Been off for the holiday. Returned rented scaffolding. I guess we're ready to move into the area of what you called a Polarotor. Hopefully, it can all be done from inside the house, as summer is just about here in the Mojave Desert. Should I start a new thread, or just continue this one? We...

Thanks, Euro. I appreciate all you and Lak7 have done.

I think I've hit a wall on this skew matter. The unit doesn't let me save settings by channel, only by satellite. So if I set horizontal to 30 and vertical to -5, it stays that way for all channels. And it only allows the H or V to be changed, if the signal is strong enough on that channel. If...
