I just got cable, and will probably keep it for a few months (unless I get tired of paying the bill), so I thought it would be a good time to go ahead and rebuild my FTA setup. Right now everything is kind of strung up, and looks really unprofessional... So I am trying to fix that. So I am just...

Anole, I don't know much about 22KHZ switches, but I guess this is how it works? Reciever sends 22KHZ tone to multiswitch, which switches that port of the multiswitch to 22khz. So, that would mean what I had mentioned above would not work, since the C-band would need 22KHZ off, but KU band...

Hello, I was wondering if there would be a way to convert a 22khz signal over to a 0 khz signal. Here is my application: I have a DSR 905 that I want to watch C and KU DCII feeds on. I have a 4x4 multiswitch that connects my C band and my KU band sats (22KHZ for the KU).. My 922 is in another...

Got it working! I've had my 922 working for a few days, and I came back to the 905 again to see if I could figure it out. Here is what I did: - Master Reset - Tuned to a manual frequency for G0 on the 905, and turned my 922 to G0 also. (Entered for the frequency:3795 - 5150 = 1355,SR...

That was it.. One of those old stored sats that the Previous Owner had must have messed things up.. I reset all sats, and limits, and everything is working fine now. Gotta remember that next time I have that problem.. Glad its wasn't the actuator or a hardware problem with the 4DTV

I checked out my 4DTV unit... i measured the voltage it was putting out when I clicked the up and doen to change the pulse position. I got a reading of voltage reading somewhere averaging in the 20's, then 0. I then went into my limits, and tapped pulse and gnd.. the reciever read my "Simulated"...

K I'll leave it alone tonight.. (on W5 now.. guess i'll stay there till tommrow at least).. Your thread did have some good info.. I'm probably going to be on the lookout for some old dishes that are damaged, that are good for parts (like actuators).. doesn't hurt to have more than one around...

That's what I was thinking... I know the guy who I got the dish from said it was a new actuator, but it had been sittin for 10 years.. so plenty of time for that.. everything worked fine yesterday with the sunlight hitting it... I am able to move the dish if I keep holding down the button...

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't... I first noticed it when I was trying to changed to another mapped satellite, and it seemed like it didn't want to hit it.. i had to move it manually.. now it seems like its not hitting any of them.. I didn't stay out there too long, but it seemed like...

It is around 14 degrees here, and I noticed that when I tried to move my dish with the 4DTV reciever, the actuatuator count on my reciever doesn't change, but I can hear my dish moving. When I try to re-setup a satellite, when I try to move the satellite east and west, it gives me the message...

Cabral, I don't know anything about the SRD4000.. I searched quickly on Google, and didn't find anything. Chances are its an analog reciever (since Motorolla only mades the 4DTV.). If it has a battery it's for a VideoCipher unit that you wouldn't need anyway (as you can't get programming for...

SUCCESS! sort of.. Thanks Lak for the 91W/410 suggestion! I hooked my 922 up, went to 91 west on the analog receiver, added GB to usable satellites, choose ch 410 and low and behold, color bars!!!! at least one of these units work!!!!! YES!!! The other question... why won't this 905 download...

Greg, Here is how the 905 and the 922 compare (I think) I only have a Unit ID on my 905# - XXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXX. I think that someone posted earilier in this thread that this has to be converted to HEX. SPS converted my unit id to HEX to get the real Unit ID which is used for programming. 922...

Well, I called Motorola,and they said they don't do Tech Support on 905 receivers anymore.. They told me to call Skyvision (which charges a fee), so i dunno.. My unit id starts out with 000, but I converted to hex and it starts 0014 That's what I gave SPS when I signed up with them, and on the...

I just did a master reset again.. When I booted back up, I didn't have G1-3 to choose from.. In fact, my channel listing just showed ch 255... so I had to do the following 1. Set usable satellites.. (Choose all on the list) 2. Tuned the 905 to G1 channel 255 (only option)...red lite on box 3...

tdti1, I saw that notice earlier while I was researching.. I converted mine to HEX,and I told the programming co I talked to about it.. he gave me a corrected HEX id, which I just checked, and his was correct. I used the corrected HEX id, but I still don't get the hit

Lak, Here is a copy of my System Status screen (Options, 6, 4 on the 905.. Opt 6,5 is the sleep timer).. I saw on some site where the 905 doesn't have a channels box to look at. I've been on G1 3 for the past coouple of days... did the unplug trick, master reset, all of that and went back...

Lak, I was able to submit a rehit.. and I wait 20 minutes on G1 - 3 and the trip counter didn't change.. and I also changed over to G1 167, and rehit again.. it still didn't take on my reciever. I am posting a picture from my "Memorize Usable Satellites" screen. I noticed that the 922 had a lot...

I signed up with SPS (no programming yet), and I filled out the Online hit form with my HEX address, (Since my unit ID starts with 000). Their hit form goes to NPS's website that says that unit ID is invalid.. Then I got an email saying that a customer rep would process my rehit... That was...

I tried calling them.. all of the ones I called said that they won't do that, and that I would have to buy programming from them before they would re-hit.. but I don't want to authorize the box for channels, when I don't know if they will even come in after the re-hit.

Nope.. I was wanting to wait until I knew the reciever was good.. do I need to sub to a channel to get updated maps? I was going to sub to small just to test it out, but then it got too late in the evening, and all of the providers closed for the night... but i guess I can sign up for a 3 or 4...

Quality is showing 42... In the user's manual, it says that the sidecar needs at least a signal of 20 to pick up a digital channel (appears that the 905 has a lower meter than the 922).. when I had it hooked up (the 922), I believe it had 79% quality on that sat.

905 sidecar Well, I called a few places, and not many programming providers know anything about the sidecar.... I did call one place, and they were wanting 20 bucks for tech support.. but I don't want to invest any money in these units if they don't work... Here is what I did last night.. I...

From what I understand, VideoCipher is completely dead. I know that there were some network channels up there, but I think they are gone now (I can't tell since I've unhooked my analog reciever from the TV). If it does analog, you may be able to use it to get some wild feeds and religious...

Hello, I was able to get a good deal on a 905 sidecar and a 922 4DTV unit on Sunday. I am off tommrow from work, so I am hoping I can figure this thing out. I'm pretty good with the DVB stuff, and I always try to search and experiment before I ask a lot of questions... but it seems like this...
