Progress... Okay, well I almost did it right. I forgot the first time to have it on the right satellite before doing the master reset, but I wasn't far away, C4, and I knew where I was, and I had recorded all the sats I had programmed. The settings had slipped a bit from one thing and another...

C3, X4. ??? Others? So it looks like C3 is dark, and X4, what else? I am only interested in C or KU on a DSR922 4DTV, cause that's all I've got.

DSR922, MR to get W5, what Sats should I save? Okay, so I guess I have no choice but to do a master reset... So I want to do this as smart as I can. I guess this is the plan, anything I am missing? 1) Update my spreadsheet list of the counter values for each satellite before I do the...

Ugh --- so how do I do a master reset? I finally got through to NPS. Fortunately they were in the office on Saturday, I kept getting home too late during the week to be able to reach them. Bad news is she verified my counter had reached 1920... and she said that means I have to do a master...

A master reset? So that means I lose everything and have to begin from setting the limits? How do you do a master reset? I really don't want to have to go through all that. I have done it several times myself, after rebuilding my dish, but geez its a lot of work. What is this that I...

I have read every message I can find here and everywhere else on the web, including the NPS instructions. But this is still not working. Everything has worked perfectly in my system for a long time, except that I need to add W5 now that X4 is gone. 1) W5 has always shown up in my sat map...

I have not had any time to look at it yet because I am in the last month of working on my MBA (at age 53...) and pretty busy right now, and I was also hoping someone might recognize the symptom and post something like "Oh yeah, that's the big electrolytic cap C52, just change it out and it will...

Update with some more info... A bit more info here: I have discovered that if I unplug the sat receiver from the wall for a while (I've only tested several hours, don't know how short would work), when I plug it back in I can get complete function, good signal everywhere, for about half an...

So our system has been working flawlessly for six months 4DTV, C&KU, 12' mesh dish, strong signals on X4, GB, G1, G5, etc. Many sats with 100 / 99 scores. Today the power went out for a little while (not uncommon in rural areas), no obvious weather cause, probably a car hit a pole somewhere...

SRL subscriptions... I am not familiar with SRL. Do they offer monthly subscriptions? Anybody have a link, or know their rates?

SciFi anywhere on BUD? I gather that SciFi has left G5-18, but has it re-appeared anywhere else, either C or KU, analog or Digital? I searched G3 tonight and didn't see anything. Will the 4DTV guide page get updated when NPS puts new channels up, or do they take awhile to get that done?

If I understood you correctly I should be able to get the AMC6 and AMC7 on my 4DTV receiver. If that is correct, does anybody know what these sats are called on the DSR922 setup screen? On that subject, I could really use an updated sat chart that includes all of the analog and digital...

I have had the strangest experience with KU recently, I wanted to put it out to you folks to see if anyone had a guess what could have caused it. 1) About a year ago I upgraded to 4DTV, and C/KU. After some fine tuning, I got very good signal reception and was quite happy with it. 2)...

Does NASA still run a channel on C or KU? I seem to have lost it since I switched to 4DTV.

TIVO works fine also My TIVO works fine for this stuff also. I just program the timer on the 922 and then set a manual timer on the TIVO, or if I can find the same program on the DirectTV channel list (that I setup on my TIVO), I just select that channel. Otherwise the name of the TIVO...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5874395030&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1 See the ebay listing above: Anybody recognize this thing? Could this be a commercial broadcast distribution receiver for radio or TV stations? I am going to be involved in setting up a small LPFM...

voomvoom "new" math...? Ah, no, I don't think so. Are you remembering to use consistent units? I am very curious how you got 53.7? I believe these measurements with that formula should come out to 56.8 or so.

dish focus regression... Okay, now I am even more confused. I thought that the formula for the focus of a parabolic dish was: (D x D) / (16 x d) .... (or "D squared, divided by sixteen times d") Where: D = dish diameter d = the depth of the dish measured between the line used to...

further comments, bottom drain... Before I confirmed that my conduit has remained bone dry after fifteen or twenty years in Oregon, I was prepared to believe that there was no way to keep the water out, but now I would say that it may depend on how well you seal your conduit. When I was...

No water... Well, I am frankly surprised, but I secured a strip of terrycloth from an old towel to my electrician's fish tape and sent it more than twenty feet into my PVC conduit and it came out bone dry! (That got it well into the lowest elevation portion of the run.) This is a run of...

Focus confusion... I know this is crazy, but this is not an off-center fed dish is it? That would totally invalidate the formula for focal distance. An off-center fed dish is a segment of one side of a larger dish, so to apply the formula for focus, I think you would need to know the depth and...

measurement errors, adjusting focal distance... As others have pointed out elsewhere, the diameter of a dish is often not what it is advertised to be. An eight foot dish may actually be seven and a half. That would throw the focal distance calculation way off, so don't just assume the dish...

How much should I worry about 20-year-old sat ribbon cable that is buried in PVC conduit? I was thinking about trying to push an electrician's fishtape into the conduit a ways with some shoestring attached to see if there is water in the conduit. Did I mention that it rains in Oregon...

Mesh size for Ku?

Firmware Upgrade? Thanks! Has Motorola ever released a firmware upgrade to the DSR922?
