I asked my x-wife to listen and she said the sound was OK and suggested that it's a hearing problem. I am hard of hearing and recently there was some kind of cold going around that blocked up my ears and made them worse. I have two hearing aids so I went out there this morning with them, and it...

I would say to get a motor to move the dish if at all possible. You'll really want one later so you might as well start out with it if you can. If you motorize the BUD when you get it, then you will need some way to control the motor. The Ku dishes are easily moved by the receiver over the...

I tried to listen to some radio channels on 91W C band and it seemed like they all had fuzzy distorted sound. I noticed the same thing on some of the TV channels on 91W. I switched amplifiers that I was using as I had just set up the Azbox and manually aimed the dish, but the problem remained...

I'm a former newbie who still doesnt know a lot, but I second the advice that your mounting pole needs to be perfectly plumb and solid. When I first got my system I attached the dish to a pole and lashed it to a clothesline pole. After a few hours I was able to receive something but it wasn't...

There used to be a group of a few powervu channels where only the audio could be heard, and one time during a blind search my receiver started receiving the video for one of them. I discoverd that this one channel that I could receive had different PIDS than the non-viewable version of the...

A little C4 may help too ... That reminds me of a brochure someone sent me from DuPont about "Farming with Dynamite". One of the wonderful virtues of the product was that when used for tree removal, dynamite blows the whole stump out of the ground, avoiding the difficult labor of removing...

I was watching AMC9 last night and right around 11 p.m. EST the signal strength went way down. Is that something they do, or was it just conditions? I thought maybe they reduced power or used spot beams during certain times? I've been having some trouble with RTV on Ku band. I thought it might...

Uh oh. I knew that there could be a huge variation of features and capabilities for commercial receivers with the same "model number". The Alteia looks identical to the Standard, but there are a lot of differences between the Alteia I have, and the manal I have for the Standard, and...

Thanks, Tron Upon closer examination of the auction pictures it appears that there is no ASI on the unit I'm getting.:confused: I couldn't find the manual for a Tandberg, but the Standard SDR-422 looks like the same receiver. The place for the ASI jack on the one I bought is blanked, and...

What can the ASI out be used for? I'm planning to get a Alteia 942, and from the pictures and reading the manual (for a Standard SDR 422) it has an ASI output, so is there anything I could do with it? From the manual: "....The receiver includes ASI-serial copper output of the transport...

Thanks. Does it just have to be factory reset if it gets the bad download? It thought it had to be sent for repair or something. If it's just factory reset then that's not so bad for me right now because I don't have anything in it yet. I found a ku feed today. I used the old Pansat...

I am only able to do Ku band right now. Is the damaging data on Ku? I found another one but it's a few degrees away from Anik F1.

Too Late :( Maybe next time.

Thanks a lot. I'm not in the room but I just heard the feed go to 1khz tone. I hope it lasts long enough for me to try it. Thanks again!

The analog feed on Lyngsat for AMC 9 at 83W seems to be active now. I can see it with my old analog Pansat and I want to attempt to see it with the 922. I have heard that Canadian satellites can do harm to the DSR 922. Nimiq 4 is at 82W and I can see the NTSC feed with the dish pointed to 82...

I didn't get those channels either. I think I might have to try my Mercury II for the dish mover. It seems to be more reliable.

I tried to manual tune it but I didn't get anything. I subtracted 10750 from the transponder frequency and entered the result (1042) into the manual tune box. I had it set for Ku 4880 and 3/4 as it is listed. I moved the dish and set it's polarity with my FTA receiver and when I checked...

Thanks. I see it listed. I think I may have tried that one before, but I'm going to go try again.

An RTN OTA channel from Delaware just started in my area. They haven't sold all of their ad time yet becaues a lot of times it's just the RTN screen saver during commercial breaks, and they have a lot of ads for themselves. I was getting the channel with a weak signal when I first...

Thanks to everyone for their help. Now I have another question. I saw on lyngsat that the FordStar Network is on Ku band, with digicipher. I think the listing was an old one so maybe the network is gone? I was wondering if I could point my 90cm dish at 101 and tune the DSR922 to that...

kbghdg and Lak7, thanks for the additional information. I switched to C and Ku LNB's and it brought the G1 and a lot of other satellites back, but since I don't have the big dish yet I am sort of at a temporary halt. And then I didn't realize that the DSR922 doesn't do the DVB. That was a...

No C band dish yet. I'm only connected to my existing FTA dish. I do have a 10' dish waiting to be set up but the cost of a piece of pipe and other things have delayed to start of construction; now I have a new incentive to do that. The seller was kind enough to throw in his ring and...

I tried to program something from G10 or whatever it's called now 123W. I looked up the frequency for some of the FTA channels, subracted 10750 from that and and tried to use the manual tune function. But now I realize that this would not work. I have the 922 connected to the IF out on my...

Thanks. I was using similar guides today but the link you sent is better. I don't have the G1 satellite on the list of satellites anymore. It only has B6, K1, and A2. I'm thinking the only way to remap it is with the C band. I think I needed to read more before I started trying to use...

I did the factory reset and now there are only 3 satellites in it. I was trying to use it on Ku band with my FTA dish. I couldn't figure out how to make it receive anything and I thought the reset might help. I went into the menus and I think everything was set correctly. I tried to manual...
