    Just saw this nice collection of dishes

    Ah yes. Here we have a nice selection in their natural environment. Notice how the smaller ones choose to look in one direction while the larger male of the flock looks up in a different direction to keep an eye out for new signals. You can notice in the back one of the smaller ones have been...

    2 or 4 c band lnbf scalar ring. Anybody order one?

    I wanted to make a small correction after reading your the responses. The you tube video in another language called them Skalar rings. But to find them for sale on another website. They are called lnbf holders. They are for over sea and I noticed that it seems you can even have smaller c-band...

    2 or 4 c band lnbf scalar ring. Anybody order one?

    So I was watching you tube and saw something interesting a blue plastic 4 lnbf cband holder. So you can get 4 sats. So I started looking around for one. I found a 2 model version. Just wondering if anybody ordered them and what they are like. TTFN, Josh

    Rural TV

    Hate to bump the thread to something slightly different. Would a DSR-4200v be worth? No dead battery or anything to worry about? THanks, Josh

    Old dsr-922 battery replacement jitters?

    Okay I did it. The 2nd receiver solder job looks worse than the first one. But everything is solid and checked out. I removed the old batteries and took the time to blow out the dust. They both needed it. I chucked the one video cipher card left. They both had the Varta (the battery experts) 1/2...

    Old dsr-922 battery replacement jitters?

    But that is the problem. That 2nd hole is not marked, to small for the leg and farther away from the battery than one would think. Perhaps I'm looking at the wrong hole. I might have to take a picture of it. Yes, it is the pencil type gun. Heh. I do like those older 70's style though.

    Old dsr-922 battery replacement jitters?

    So I got some batteries for both my dsr-922 receivers. I see the 2nd plus hole but were is the 2nd minus hole? I remember reading something about this. I have no problem leaving the receiver plugged in. There is plenty of room between the power supply and the battery for volt meter and solder...

    so how much is a new 14ft dish. Well I found out.

    Sometimes last year I found out on the forum that there was a c-band dish mfg about 60 miles from me. They make business dishes. So with tax return in hand. I decided to email them for a price. xxx mfg does offer a 3.0m and 3.8m antenna w/ polar mount. The mount requires a 36" actuator...

    LAST LAUGHS - 4DTV Extinct In STYLE

    Well my experiance with problems with the pizza pan is bad lnbf, bad mounting of dish, or tree in the way. If you have a good install. I never was effected by anything. Except sunspots and coudy days. I think the last one I had a pizza pan it had a bad lnb but it only acted up when it was really...

    I know years ago there was a pbs station on ku in 4dtv. Is there anything up there in ku still. I got a ku dish with motor on my fta system. I would like to test both my 4dtv dsr-422 receivers. Please point in right direction. Thanks, Josh

    Big dish update from your friends at Satellite Receivers/Programming Center

    So I emailed srl and got this back If customers choose to do the conversion the receiver will act just like the DSR-410 which only picks up W5 and does not move the dish. This is the only way for it to work to get on the new HITS/W5 only authorization stream. I know it's not ideal but it's...

    Any of you hear about Brute Force DCII signal Search?

    Yes. I figured it was zk or fp then we would get a picture. This DSR-4500x give you a picture? I was looking at one online after I get a big dish setup.

    Any of you hear about Brute Force DCII signal Search?

    I was looking around for a way to blind scan a dsr receiver. The closet thing I came to was something called brute force. You turn to a empty channel and see if you get a higher signal reading. This was when you had more of analog and digital was new from what I was reading. Then you hit some...

    So after a master reset So after a master without any firmware changes. You will have satellites and channels. But nothing extra. Like no manual way to add new satellites, frequencies or anything. That is were the map comes in. Among other things. Channe list/Guide, clock, and adding new...

    new 6ft cband for 4dtv

    I have a bigger dish in storage right now. But do to size, weight and I would need me to find a big pipe. I was thinking newer, lighter, smaller 6ft dish with motor. But I would hate to setup such a critter that was easy to use and move around with a temp mount. Like cynder block on a pallet or...

    Setting up a 10 foot dish

    don't know why nobody answered you As for the dish. There is still a few analog feeds up there. No I don't know were they are at. IF you still have a analog receiver you can catch one of those to make sure the dish is okay. As for the digital. You need a fta receiver like a cool sat 5000...

    Dish indentification

    yes signal finding Yes signal finding is a work of art. Especially if this is the first time aiming a sat dish. Even if you setup dtv or dish dish. This is alot more fun or hardwork. I also hope you lubed the actuator too. As for the receiver. I read something about the older lnb requires a...

    shawdirect/starchoice 4dtv?

    no problem I did find a few other things after posting. I did know that bell will not sell to us and dish will not sell to canada. I didn't realize it was for all. I found a website from canada for large c band dishes that says they will sell to U.S. But they didn't do alacart and most of there...

    shawdirect/starchoice 4dtv?

    So I was reading around and seen that shawdirect formal starchoice uses digicipher 2 from motorla. Um is this not the same as 4dtv? Lets flood shaw with requests to alacarte their stuff for 4dtv receivers? Heck I know when I get my bid dish up or even a small ku. That would be killer. Instead of...
