How to use Generics and Manual entering frequencies???????

[Desertnight]

Could someone please explain to me how to program in a Generic satellite and what to do after it is programmed in? I realize that the question may come across as huh???? I've seen info at GoFastMotorSports, but I apparently do not understand the procedure and what to do after it's done. Do I just go through each channel and see if something is there? Or what?

I also do not know what to expect on option 6-7-7-8 Manual entering. Is there a specific way of doing it? ??????????

Where might I find detailed info, also?

Thanks.

Lots of good info here 4dtv.drlev.com. I think it has what you are looking for.

We don't talk about the generics much in the open forum. Read the info the other poster posted and experiment. Thats exactly how I started. When you get a handle on how to look for what you need to go to Lyngsat and try different combinations to see what you can find. Every so often you find a gem or two ITC .

There's a trick to it. I've never had much success at it mainly because I don't have the motivation to sit and do it.

The thing is it's not how to do it that is not openly discussed as is what is (usually temporarily) there. Of course a person can post anything he comes across if he chooses, but don't expect it to "stay open" once that info is circulated around enough to get back to the source. Much of the "Free" in Free to Air is of this nature and not intended for "public consumption" outside the originator's established distribution network.
Simply stated...."A word to the wise...."

I savvy. The less said the better.

Thanks for the input. I have already started checking out the webb site suggested.

Oh, fun, fun, fun!!!. I'm thinking of all the figuring out to be done on the coming cold, wintery, days ahead. Not much snow here, just plain cold.
