After near 20 years After nearly 20 years of C band,I also finally gave up and got Dishnet. Sad to see my (not very old 4dtv)still hooked up and just sitting there. Hate to admit it but am really enjoying the HD programing,and since I got the duel input receiver,can record HD two different...

Greg,Im about 40 miles from Houston Tx and at times have break ups on HBO,but never on Starz(150) Recorded four programs earlier in the week,all on the same night. Three were good but HBO(100)was breaking up like we were having a wind storm. I checked and it was recorded from 9 to 11 am. When I...

Dobie,using 167 instead of 3 on G1 has made an improvement with my guide and so far have not had to re-hit the guide. This morning It hung up while flipping thru guide(second time its ever done it)and had to disconnect AC to unlock it. As like the first time,it came back on with no guide...

Signal strength on GI-3 and 167 is 98. Now I guess the reason G1-3 works better than G1-100 is its strength is only 64. Signal has always been lower on the HBO channels,but they get a very good picture. Have a relative new top of the line LNB.

Dont understand why NPS,who has the most Sats to offer is pushing pizzas,as their web site(which is very helpful for C band)is 95 % with C band information. Just to check out the opposition I wanted to see what the pizzas had to offer,and its barely mentioned on the site. Maybe the site hasn't...

Thanks everyone for information,will try try the Guide rehit and use Gi-167

At times my guide doesnt download properly. I always leave it on G1-3 and never record from 1 to 2 am (download time from Motorola and is checked for automatic downloading) Yesterday morning,was bad,no information on movies and guide only went to 3 PM,(always have it on G1-3 when on guide)and...

nps subscriptions Thanks Iceberg,too bad motorola supports both,as if Motorola quits C band,it would have been nice to have an alternate to the Pizzas. Too bad about NPS,as they seemed to be a little cheaper and have a few channels that the other two doesn't have,but will change over to which...

nps subscriptions Just called NPS and they said they are still selling 3 and 6 months subs,but gave me the sell about Motorola getting out of C band. I asked them about DSR-410 systems and they said that Motorola also supports that system.(does Motorola support this system also) I think they...

What is the exact time each night for the download for the 4DTV. I read in Orbet that if you hold the on, off button down for 5 sec,you will reset the unit. In my 15 or so years with C band,have never heard of this. Have any of you know if this works?(am sure theres a lot more things I haven't...

First,I want to thank everybody for their help on my last post. Have found out some information on new recorders and hope it helps someone else. I bought the 455 Sony recorder and could not record most newer movies as they were blocked (am using C band) Reading the manual it said that on using...

Am thinking of getting a HDD-200 decoder for my 922. How well do they work and do they cause anykind of problems. Since I record a lot of shows(have a HD TV with DVI connector),but my recorder is not a HD recorder,will the recordings be some better recording a HD show. Will get a HD recorder in...

I read a report from a owner of a new recorder and he said he couldnt record some movies. I have been looking on internet and have been told that networks like HBO broadcast the protection. Im not sure of anything.

I record everything I watch with a 2 year old Sony(with hard drive) dvd recorder and have never had any trouble recording any and all movies from my C band. Am wanting to buy a newer dvd recorder and am reading that the newer ones have a copy protection chip in them and I wont be able to record...

Truckracer,I didnt make myself clear. I get all Sats with good signals with out any elevation changes.so my polar axis is ok. I thought that maybe a very slight adjustment on the ant would change my Vert skew away from -90. After reading your reply I did some some checking and found that: On Sat...

Most of my skew settings are in range where you can adjust them up or down from the best setting (to make sure you have the very best setting) I have a couple of sats where the setting scew settings are at -90. Since this is at the end of adjustment and moving the BUD left or right makes no...

Truckracer,if I removed my cover, the goverment would get me for destroying a home for about 5 tree frogs I found in there.(wont tell them I pluged up holes) Thanks for information and if I ever need more signal I will do it. But now I get 50 on HBO and 80 to 99 on most of others.

ACradio,thanks for comback,am not good at explaining my problems. Your right, was replacing a shorty LNB. You answered my question as did it make any difference the way I mounted on the LNB on the flange. The darn thing is 10 ft off the ground and a dog to work on so thats why I wanted to be...

I didnt make my self clear,as I was wanting to know which way to install the new LNB since it can be installed 2 ways (180 apart) On the old LNB its easy to figure which way they install but when you use the 90 degree waveguide the LNB sits 45 degree different.(which makes the antenna in LNB...

After reading your board,am installing a new Norset 8115 LNB. When using the 90 degree waveguide that came with it ,I am not sure how to install the LNB as the ant in side the LNB is a completely different position than the one I am replacing. In other words should the ant in the LNB be pointed...

About a month back I told of my signal on all sats at times going from 70 or 100 to o and then back on. It does it at no set times,but last time it did it,the weather was in the 60s. After a time it will clear up. It is tuned good as I get 70 on HBO and 99 on rest of G1 and I have tried tuning...

Thanks everybody for comeback, Since last Sat when I had the trouble,everything is working good. Remember that when I had the trouble Saturday, G1 was not the only sat that was acting up(but it was the worst) Naturally at the time I tried tuning in and that made no difference. I get G1 between...

First of week,G1 was irrattic for a while around 7 am,then a little later it was ok. Quick check on C3 and W5 and they seemed ok and system was ok rest of week untill This morning at about 7 am G1 was acting up bad and going blank(no dc lite)but only for 2 or 3 sec. Checked C3 and it was a...

Thanks everyone for your help,it was the LNB. My Sat man here told me that LNBs can get zapped with lighting just being in the area and never hitting ground. In my 20 or so years with Sats this is only the second one I have ever replaced. (dog chewed wires and shorted first one) Thanks again...
