    Installation question, south of the border

    Success, finally!! I went up last night and rechecked all my connections, cleaned all the copper leads on the coaxial cable, and so on. Came back down and have a signal between 86-92. Now I have to make a new line for the PVR, but that's no problem now. Got through the hard part. Thanks...

    Installation question, south of the border

    I was able to tune F2, up on the roof. But after i put the switch, signal fell to under 60. I had 93 with the cable directly into the receiver. Can this be a faulty switch? I connected F1 to LNB A (0 Hz) and F2 to LNB B (22 KHz). Signal on F1 is a bit lower, but I can still watch everything. Any...

    Thanks, going up on the roof to tune the other dish. While it's not raining. I'll report back when I do.

    Installation question, south of the border

    I finally got my system authorized! It's up and running now, good signal strength, too. What is the procedure now to aim my second dish to F2? Do I tune to a channel on F2 and tweak the antenna?if so, which channel? As I understand it, I should point the dish lower and to the right (from behind...

    Installation question, south of the border

    Bad news guys. It hasn't stopped raining all day. I was unable to go up on the roof to aim my girlfriend's dishes. I'd like to activate both at the same time. Hopefully, tomorrow we'll have better weather. A bit of good news, though: I didn't lose picture with the small dish all day. We're used...

    Installation question, south of the border

    Made a big mistake. I just plugged my big dish directly to the receiver and found out both dishes are aimed at F1 (I can see the same channels as before). I'll tweak the large one and see what happens. I see where the satellite says A4, but the provider ID is 0. I'll report back in a while.

    Oops, forgot. Is there a way to reset the receiver? That might do the trick. Thanks

    Installation question, south of the border

    I finally got picture, i connected the small dish directly to the receiver, on antenna input 1. Took a while but i got 72 signal and am able to see the free channels. I then reconnected the switch but it won't recognize the other dish. I'll get on the roof in the morning and try connecting the...

    I'll try that tomorrow, too late to activate it now. I didn't know the provider code, I do now. Thanks for your help.

    Installation question, south of the border

    I'm in the process of installing a 530 PVR receiver in Mexico City. I have two antennae: a 6' offset and an old Sky dish. I've aimed the smaller (Sky) dish to F1 and get a signal of 74. I'm positive I'm aimed right, since I can see the free channels (351 Access, 354 Knowledge, for instance). I...
