I am a little confused on how an LNBF works versus an LNB on a feedhorn.
1. On a C-band LNB the servo motor moves the wave guide from a signal from the receiver when going from odd to even channel numbers. The LNB gets the Ver or Horz signal and sends it to the receiver.
2. With an LNBF there is only the coaxial cable from the receiver to the LNBF. When I installed it I rotated it enough to get a spot where I got both Horizontal and Vertical channels after I set the receiver for using a LNBF. This is where I get confused. Is there a servo in the LNBF that is controlled by the LNB's power? I was told there is a servo inside. I do not think there is. I think the LNBF works because of the way the wave guide is set and the fact it receives the signal both vertical and horizontal at the same time and the receiver does the internal "switching" of the polarity. Am I right, if not please explain.
3. The reason why I am asking the above is because the instructions that came with the DSR-410 states you can use a LNB and make sure it is on vertical polarity when on W5. Are all the channels vertical?
4. The Skyvison instructions also show a diagram of a C-band LNF(f) with a high frequency splitter and the passive side of the splitter goes to your analog or 4DTV receiver and the other goes to the DSR-410. If you are using your 4DTV and an LNB how does the DSR control the polarity if you are on a vertical channel and need to be on a horizontal channel on W5?
5. Where do you get one of those splitters? Radio Shack does not have that type, at least my local does not. I would like to use that to hook up my Uniden so when I do move the dish monthly I can land back on W5.
6. Also in 2009, where there still be analog C-band such as the welcome page on W5 / tr 23?

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Not sure saving $24/year is worth it unless you're a hardcore Philo user. I'll stick with monthly.

'Rockford Files' Reboot Gets NBC Pilot Order
I grow tired of all the reboots. Most I don't bother with but will depend on the actor chosen.

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.
Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.
It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list.
Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?
