Along with my new job, I inherited a satellite dish and receiver. they are used fairly infrequently as a part of a distance learning program so I figure they could be put to use in other ways. The system is as follows, my receiver is a Uniden ust-4500 and it is connected to a 2.5 m dish with a single Ku/C band analog LNB.
Everything works fairly well. Although I can never figure out a schedule of whats on.
I've been told I could switch to or add digital fairly easy by purchasing a digital receiver and a coaxial switch.
There is what seems to be a digital receiver kicking around the shop. It is manufactured by General Instrument model DSR406MN. It powers up the setup and menus function but I have no idea how to integrate it into my system or if that is even possible or worthwhile.
as you can probably tell from this post I am fairly clueless concerning the whole satellite FTA thing. I would appreciate any comments, ideas, or sugestions.
