Since there is not a thread on this and there seems to be renewed interest in BUD's... lets all put our ideas in this thread, from which a proper FAQ's Thread can be made and maintained.

Is there any way to use a diseqc switch for a c/ku band receiver? Perhaps something that will hook up in-line that lets use the switch to select different dishes ?
The 4DTV / Analog receivers won't control a DiSEQc switch that I know of. Some people have used A/B switches to select different sats or even setup a fixed small dish for X4 connected to the Ku side. This is especially usefull for guys who have dishes with large mesh that can't do Ku.Texanmutt said:Is there any way to use a diseqc switch for a c/ku band receiver?

added to FAQ's... (been away for a few days)Shawn95GT said:4DTV Passwords:
Installer password override: 92121
Entering this password will get you into the installer menu where you can set your own password. I've read that this number is GI's Zip Code .
Parental Lock Password reset:
Call your service provider and they can do this for you. I did this earlier today with NPS .
These two are VERY handy when using a used / second hand reciever.
