    Guide update

    many times my guide does the same thing. I will hit the guide button and it pops up and says "guide info is on G1" but I left it parked on G1 overnight. sigh. recently it has been really bad for me. It will download the guide overview (program titles) but no detailed info. I can let it sit on G1...

    Help with Missing Guide this morning, please?

    Glad you got it taken care of. Another thing you can use for the future to try to force a guide re-load is to go to the Diagnostic screens (Options 6-0-5) then use the right arrow key to scroll through until you get to screen F. That is the IPG diagnostic screen. Once on that screen, as long as...

    4DTV Diagnostic Screen Info

    yea.. some of those screens just go on forever.. mainly I was trying to cover a bit on each at least for what a "general" user would want to know.

    dishman: it's really hard to compare the packages between providers.. I've put together a couple spreadsheets to try and help.. one of the problems with these big packages is that one will have a couple channels you want but not others, and some other package will be the reverse. with SRL I go...

    opinion on srl

    I've been with SRL now for about 8 months. Bailed on NPS pretty quickly in the spring. I've not had any trouble with them in the short time I've used them. One of the nice things with them is that you can ask to be setup for their "WEB SAMS" which allows you to manage your subscriptions...

    4DTV Diagnostic Screen Info

    thanks screen F is another one I'll get added. That's the program guide, shows you each day, which has data loaded, how much RAM is left for the guide and how long it took to download. You can also clear the guide from that screen and start it downloading again

    4DTV Diagnostic Screen Info

    In order to help fellow 4DTV users, I put together a quick down-n-dirty flash 'tutorial' on the diagnistic screens on the 4DTV. I do not have all of the screens done (only A through C) and I do not have all of the fields marked, only certain ones. I am also going to make a non-flash version...

    NPS Subscribers

    well, I had also assumed that they were one in the same, just different package names & prices. does explain the differences tho . I currently use SRL and when they set me up with their online system, they asked if I wanted to be able to do SRL or Skyvision online.. their websams isn't the...

    Thompson Saginaw actuator

    NPS Subscribers

    Yep. I checked SRL's website. Their prices went up (on the packages I checked) by about $1.50 or so.. discovery 4 pak went up like 50 cents.. pick 10 pak went up maybe 75 cents

    hmmm. I sub thru SRL also, might have to give em a call and see if it impacts us too thanks for the heads-up. History Intl is one I watch all the time edit: Katy at SRL said she had heard nothing about this. She is going to check into it and contact me back. Might be strictly NPS

    Thompson Saginaw actuator

    yea, I read that post and looked at mine. the brushes are fine. commutator is a little scored but not badly. but there's definitely something wrong in the linear portion. as I unscrewed the inner tube, it suddenly got really difficult to turn, I could also feel it sort of 'grinding' inside...

    Thompson Saginaw actuator

    ok, any tips on how to drive that little roll pin out? I talked to the previous homeowner, he said that from the new install, he had to replace the actuator once. so this is the replacement .. would make it around 18-19 years old or so

    Thompson Saginaw actuator

    The saginaw actuator on my dish finally gave up the ghost. I replaced it with a venture.. ok, back in business. I want to check out the saginaw to see if it's possible to fix and worth fixing. I have the motor apart, aside from a ton of dead bugs, everything seems okeedokee in there. but as I...

    Motorola contact info

    There was a post here somewhere a bit ago about powervu receivers. The one that the original poster mentioned really stood out from the others in cisco's list. Most of them were definitely commercial units, but one was an STB that sure looked like home use.. the PDF even talked about small...

    4dtv Diagnostic screens

    I have the stuff from the wayback machine. I was just trying to make the screens easier to interpret/understand. That's why, for now, I just drew right on the screen shot. I can host the pages on my server, but figured that since we now have a 4dtv section here, we might include them for forum users

    4dtv Diagnostic screens

    4dtv Diagnostic screens

    I know that some of this information used to be readily available on the internet, but one of the major sites that had it, is now defunct. You can get their pages out of the wayback machine at the internet archive, but that's a bit of a PITA. So, I figured I'd grab the screen shots and just slap...
