    501 with balance

    The balance is $80, and it is not worth it to me to spend that kind of money. Maybe I will yank the drive out and just format it for use in the computer and just junk the rest. I hate to do that to a more or less working peice of hardware.

    how to check tof a dead LNB?

    Ok, did that, turned out that I was picking up 110 on the 119 LNB. I moved the dish, and tried it again, turns out that I just could not find 119 where the dish was at. Moved it back over by the RV and picked up 119 right off the bat. Go figure... Thanks for your help!

    how to check for a dead LNB? I have an older dish 500 for my RV and just set it up and now I can not find 119, 110 comes in fine, I have tried everything I can think of. Is there an easy way to test for a dead LNB? The system uses an SW21 switch, and I am almost sure it is ok. Any ideas would...
