no idea what the heck you on about, but wild guess, you want to be on G1-3

 

[porra1]

to do updates can you be on g9-05 which is aka G0?

 

[sergei]

You need to be on G1-3 like trinidex posted.

ok i found out that the most i can catch is 127W so any satellites in there thst i can get 4DTV 920 updates other than G1-3?

The answer is still NO....you need to adjust you dish to get a better view of the satellite arc

NPS state that for hits/rehits you need to be pointed at one of the following:
G1-03, G1-13, G1-150, GO-05, C3-101, G0-05, GB-24, or W5-194.

I have received a hit from NPS on W5-194 which is 105W

For channel maps/guide/updates you MUST BE ON G1

I get static on those 2 as well, but I get my DC lock on G1-3

When you're on G1-3 bring up the "Adjust Picture" menu (Options>5) and look at Quality, this needs to be at least 10 (IMHO) to get a hit/update.

There got to be another satellite to receive the remapping. I can barely get a picure on G1-5. G1-3 is next to impossible to have a DC2 lite, same on 151, and other channels the same. G1 seem to be a really weak satellite.

remaps or guide?

guide is on G1 only
remaps are any premium movie mux. I've got channel maps updates via G5 Starz mux

 

[porra1]

so h/o if i point to G5 ill receive 4DTV updates along with new added satellites to the program satellites list?

 

[Mr Tony]

correct. You wont have a guide update but you can get the channel maps

 

[porra1]

ok ice im on G5 ch 9 espn 2 ? what channel do i leave it on? and do i turn the box on or off?

 

[Mr Tony]

you would need to put it on a premium movie channel
Starz 100-109

 

[electrician]

you would need to put it on a premium movie channel
Starz 100-109

Do you actually have to be subscribed to Starz or we just need a channel to download?

 

[Mr Tony]

nope. I use my 905 that has no subscription...just a green light and a decent ebno # (options 6-0-5 right arrow to diagnostic C)

 

[porra1]

Thanks Iceberg! I was talking about remapping. I always thought all guides and remapping are on the G1 satellite.
It has been a long time since I had the 920 remapped.

from what I have read and seen here that any premium movie mux will work fine to get the new maps

I remember someone mapping a box using AMC11 to get the new maps to subscribe to the Discovery mux
