Dear FaT Air,
Sadly, there is little I can tell you.
We bought our ten-foot mesh dish in 1994, but we do not know its brand. With it came a General Instrument 550i receiver. Together, the salesman from Salmon Harbor Inc. told us, they made up the "Ultimate" package. We used the 550i until 1997, when we bought a DSR-920. In July last, I bought a Norsat 3220C LNB and a 1507HA LNB, both to fit inside our new Chaparral Corotor II Plus feedhorn. They replaced two 14-year-old Eagle Aspen LNBs and a similarly aged feedhorn of indeterminate ancestry which the repairman told us was a Chaparral knockoff. They are connected with our DSR-920 and our Pansat 9200HD, but indirectly through an amplifier installed some years ago to boost the signal.
The ten-foot antenna, through the amplifier, is connected to our DSR-920 and, via a splitter, to the Pansat 9200HD. The DSR-920 is connected to a video source selector. The DSR-920 directs the dish and sends a feed to the video source selector, which forwards it to the television set. When I want to watch FTA, I use the video source selector to send the 9200HD's feed to the television set.
Most of the time, as C-SPAN and Nebraska PBS are our only 4DTV sources, we do not watch much 4DTV these days. So, we watch a lot of pre-recorded DVDs via our DVD recorder, which is also connected to the video source selector.
So, that is about all I can say: the brand names and numbers of our receivers and our LNBs. I know that you are trying to help me, and I wish I could give you more information.
Please let me know if what I have said has been of any use.
Gordon
