I've actually tried this operation using a program I have called Video Redo. Joined the TS files, tho I didn't resize (I don't think I have that option) but it wasn't seamless, and it created somewhat of a corrupted file that's difficult to play back (according to a friend I shared it with)...

Maybe this is asking for the world here haha, but I have just recently been getting back into C-band FTA programming, and am looking for a good DVR solution. I have an Amiko Mini HD SE, which has the time shifting and yes, it can record...but the files are huge (over 10 gigs!) and if I wanted...

Correct, the dielectric slab was not used in the feedhorn. That scaler ring is only barely oversized, the feedhorn almost fits but still needs a spacer. I have a temporary fix for now and the feedhorn is stable and appears centered as the last one did, but as you point out needs to be...

As mentioned in a prior thread, I'm firing a DSR 922 back up & getting ready to try a FTA system. In the process it was recommended on the forums here that I get a C1-PLL LNBF for ease of use (takes care of the polarization/skew), as opposed to my current setup with a Chaparral Corotor II...

I was able to lock in AMC 18 (W5) using a generic that just happened to match up with the satellite specs - thanks waylew for the tip. Using the old X4 in it's place now. The file you sent me is good for reference in checking the other sats if I need to, I have all the ones I want programmed...

Sure makes the process that much more interesting and throws a lot more variables into the mix that we didn't have 10 years ago! This used to be so much easier haha... we shall see how easy once I get set up with FTA!

I was able to get a lock on 18 channels on X4 (edited my message above a bit late sorry), so this must be it. Now to figure out how to get locks on some of these others like W1, G4, T5 etc. For the moment I feel secure in knowing that the dish is indeed following the arc pretty well, but each...

Hold the phone, I think you might have helped me nail this! I never did get a lock on W1, but from the existing position in the receiver, I programmed CF 100 and moved west, and hit a DCII lock, Quality 99. Is this W5? I don't have KU hooked up so I'm sure I didn't move as far west as Anik...

That should work, and am trying it as I type this, but something is messed up. I cannot get a lock on W1 using CE 180 at that position. I've tried slowly moving the dish east and west a few ticks, nothing. Maybe the skew is off? There does not appear to be an option to change the skew for CE...

Yes, I definitely checked "Program Satellites" and no W5 exists - my system was pretty much offline before there ever was a W5, and the X4 mapping appears to be for the old KU satellite. At the moment, the 4DTV is controlling the LNB and polarity. I am planning to get an LNBF soon with the FTA...

One small problem: I don't have W1 300. The channels go to 400, then a random handful of channels up through the 900's and that's it. Also, there is an X4, but no 280...a few in the 100's, some at higher numbers but not much else. However I completely follow your technique here in finding...

Thanks for the guidance here! I did find two analogs today, C-Span on C3 and I think a shopping channel on C4 or nearby, and also a DC II lock on G1 03 (the old Motorola stream, something is there), but can't find much else going eastward - maps are far too old. Ran into a snag today that I...

I'm firing up a 4DTV & getting ready to hook up an FTA receiver (on order), but ran into a snag today. I am missing a satellite tile, W5, and appears I never updated or bothered to download it back in the day. I can still get a lock on G1 03, but have no idea if there's an active stream there...

Gotcha...I thought you had to have a VCII module for receiving any analog. Thanks for clarifying! :-)

Titanium, this is very much what I was looking for...a guide. Thank you!!! Hey that's a very generous offer, and I would gladly reciprocate, but I was in a bad car wreck a few years ago and cannot lift much of anything, let alone a 65' radio tower (yikes!), otherwise you could count me in! Oh...

Would be great except I no longer have the analog module. Will have to peak digitally.

Thanks guys for the advice and support here, keep it coming! I've been giving this a lot of thought for sure this past week, now leaning toward replacing the feedhorn with an lnbf that controls the polarity (Titanium) and something like an Amiko Mini for the FTA receiver...I need to check on...

Agreed...don't need the Ku, thanks for the link and plenty to watch on C-band. So to confirm with you guys, I can keep the 922 basically as a "dish positioner" only, change out the LNB for a PLL LNBF and this would eliminate the need to make polarity adjustments in the 922? It can all be done...

Thanks Fat Air & bpalone - sounds like an easy investment to upgrade :) Question, I was not expecting to replace the feedhorn, there are different "PLL LNB" types out there - which one would I need? Do they have one that does Ku as well or is most of the programming on C-band? Current LNB has...

Hello all, I have a working DSR 922 along with an 8 ft C-band dish that's been parked on the Music Choice channels on G5 (using a generic tile) for the past 5 years. Those music channels vanished about a week ago, so of course was giving thought to getting rid of the dish entirely. Then I...

Before you unload everything, you might consider picking up a used HDD-200 or 201 high definition decoder, getting a sub to the C-band digital movie channels (if interested), and you'll get five 1st generation hi def feeds that will look better than from any other source (two HBO, two Starz, one...
