4dtv help

i tried using a dsr 922 and dsr 410 aimed at amc3 for the free dg2 chans. I factory reset them both and tried to manualt tune them to the signal they both show good signal but i cant get anything

 

[Mr Tony]

on the 922 you need to download the channel maps first off of a premium movie transponder (C-Band)

do some reading on the 410...we've never been able to get any other maps other than starchoice

the 922 has to be on cband to work?? darn i gave 75 for it was that a good price?

 

[Mr Tony]

to get the channel maps you have to have C-Band..once its set up then you can use KU only

but doing the master reset makes it so you need to use C-Band first to get the channel maps downloaded. The 4DTV arent like FTA DVB boxes for loading channels

I had no luck with the DSR-410 on AMC3 Ku. I was trying for GPB. I've since bought a DSR-4200V commercial IRD and it gets GPTV and the 5 sub-channels perfectly on a 1.2m P* dish with oem LNBF. Search DSR-410 on the forums....me and Iceberg wrote a novel on here when we were experimenting with 'em!

That's a real good price for a 922! :up

If you know someone who has a C-Band dish, you can ask them if they would let you use there dish to load the Maps into your 922.....? Then you should have the channels you need...?

 

[Mr Tony]

yep you're right Al....as long as they can see a premium movie channel they should be good to go. I have issues with G1 TP3 but I use the Starz mux on G5/14 just fine to download maps

 

[Techfizzle]

The receiver has a serial port can you load them onto it using the serial port?

 

[Mr Tony]

nope...gotta get them from C-band sat

Hey, Techfizzle... I'll give you your $75 back (maybe even $100)
