I have one moving c-band dish that I've got a Traxis FTA receiver on and looped through that into my DSR-410 for W5 Hits programming.
I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to drive my dish over to AMC18 (W5) to watch that programming on my 410.
Because there is no C-band programming on that W5 bird that a generic c-band FTA will pick up I can't save a position for it on my Traxis to move to, then flip on my 410.
So what I'm doing for now is using the Traxis to move the dish over to 103 AMC1, then giving it 2 hits on the Traxis/V-box to manually nudge it 2 degrees to the west and get my signal light on the 410. I have to them kill the power on the Traxis at that point so it will leave the dish where it is (manually parked at 105W).
Imagine trying to explain this to the wifey... there's got to be a better or more straight-forward way to do this.
....any suggestions?
Also, having the 410 connected to the loop thru on the Traxis, should I expect the 410 to work normally? Meaning I can watch any channel on any polarity as per normal and not be limited because of being looped through another receiver? So far I haven't noticed a channel I can't watch.
thanks for any help...

curious
I've not followed the 4Dtv/410 bandwagon, and that surprised me.
I thought the 920/922's had only composite video?
No doubt, any real 4D'er will set me straight. -
I can see the 920/922 being used as a dish mover.
But since it can work just as well with a voltage controlled LNBF (such as the C2, DMX242, etc.), I might suggest using a multiswitch to get multiple dual-polarity outputs for various receivers. -
Oh, you can? I guess that makes sense.

Assuming the 410 service stays on the air (again, I'm not following the story enough to be sure, but maybe), wouldn't the 410 be the choice for a receiver due to Svideo or maybe Component output?

That would require multiple lnbfs in order to use to receivers on opposite polarities
In order to have hd quality outputs an hdd200 is required. The 920 has s video, and the 922 has svideo and digital audio output.
Well, the C2 and the DMX242 have LNBs for both Vertical and Horizontal signals.
So, feeding those two outputs to a 2x4 multiswitch or better, would give four receivers the ability to choose either polarity.
So, the 920/922 have Svideo output, eh?
Well, that's better than I thought - :up
Shame you can't rely on the 410 having the 'right stuff' (svideo).
I'm gonna pass on all this hardware, but maybe the info will help guide the next person to read this thread.
Thanks, to all. -

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?
