    Discovery Channels

    I agree. Let's urge Discovery to be included in C-band again. Just got finished sending them a message. :JACK

    Rumors of Discovery

    Hi... It's been great having 4DTV back, except that the basic Discovery Channel is missing. I've heard rumors that Discovery, Animal Planet and TLC will be returning to the W5 slate some time real soon now. Does anyone know more about this? Thanks. ::JACK

    FTA and 4DTV 920 Receiver on one Dish

    Thanks. Okay; nothing is fried. (I thought about the DC affecting the other receiver but the guy at the place I bought the splitter said that was the correct device, and he had been using them for years in this sort of application. You just can't trust anyone!) At the moment, I have replaced...

    FTA and 4DTV 920 Receiver on one Dish

    Hello, I have an FTA receiver with a GBOX dish positioner driving a (fairly old) C- and Ku-band dish. Everything works. With the return of 4DTV on W5, I dusted off the DSR-920 receiver and got a proper 2400 MHZ splitter with DC pass on both legs. I installed the splitter between the GBOX and...

    Official 4DTV Conversion to W5/X4 services only infornmation post

    All right... it's working! I tried selecting 216 and leaving it there for a really long time. For anyone else who encounters this issue, the guide seems to download way, way slower than it did in years past. It was half an hour before there was anything even slightly guide-like, and about two...

    Canonical list of 920/922 Secret Screens

    Hi... In working through the issues surrounding getting 4DTV working again on X4, several of our 920 receiver's secret screens turned up. This made me wonder. Does anyone know if there is a complete list of all the secret screens and the key combinations to activate them? Thanks ::JACK

    Official 4DTV Conversion to W5/X4 services only infornmation post

    It's 1040, and we definitely get hits for subscriptions. SciFi popped right in as soon as I paid the WebSAMs page. Is there anything more that I need to do to receive the guide? Thanks. ::JACK

    Official 4DTV Conversion to W5/X4 services only infornmation post

    Ditto what Lone Gunman said. I have a GI 920. I used WebSAMS to subscribe to SciFi channel, and all is well. However, I can't get a guide (if I hit the Guide button on the remote, it wants to go to G3.) The Options 6 7 7 8 sequence gets me to a Diagnostics screen that starts with "1. Manually...

    FTA and 920 4DTV

    I need to do just the opposite - use the FTA receiver to move the dish and have the 920 be a slave to the FTA. We've only got the one coax coming in from the dish now. For one thing, as I understand it, I'm going to have to lose the maps for all the satellites except for W5 / X4 in order to...

    FTA and 920 4DTV

    Hello, I have a FTA receiver connected to our big C-band dish, and we replaced the old two-wire, servo-based feed horn at the dish with a modern feedhorn that the receiver can drive (with a V3000 GBox in-between to move the dish). We also have the old 920 4DTV receiver, which looks like it...

    VCII in 920 - Is Anyone Home in There?

    Hello, We have a 920 4DTV receiver. When its programming runs out in a few months, I figured I'd take the opportunity to replace its ancient lithium batteries, then maybe look at W5. I know the battery on the main board needs replacing, but I'm curious about the VCII module. Does the VCII...
