    Self install problems with a Vip 211k and a 1000.4 Eastern arc dish

    That explains a problem, but how ambiguous can they get... "align it with the edge" top edge or the bottom edge? just checked, no red paint, I'll try both.. Top edge it is... I guess they make the instructions intentionally vague to discourage self installers, or the word "top" is too...

    Self install problems with a Vip 211k and a 1000.4 Eastern arc dish

    I think I have a bad LNBF from the store. any deflection on the analog meter is a lot less than I see with my FTA setup or the old SD dish setup I have used in the past. How common is it to get a dead LNB out of the box? Also I am assuming that elevation is measured from the middle of the bolt...

    Self install problems with a Vip 211k and a 1000.4 Eastern arc dish

    I have been looking at the new meters, I just hate the idea of having no TV for about a month while the meter ships. (Xmas season, Nothing ordered today will show before the 2nd week of january.) WE don't watch it much normally, but with family coming over for holidays it keeps the kids busy...

    Self install problems with a Vip 211k and a 1000.4 Eastern arc dish

    Satellite finder shows that I need to point at 160.3 with an elevation of 38. and the iphone app I have used for the past year also shows the three birds in the sky where I am pointing, but It just seems to elude me. I get a signal deflection on the analog meter and then go in and the Vip211k...

    Hey everyone. I just spent the day fighting with a 1000.4 Eastern Arc dish and my Vip 211k receiver. I have tried everything to get this aligned and have failed every attempt. I have set up older SD dishes over the past 10 years without problems, and spent 2 years being a nomad where I had to...

    Need US satellite details...

    I looed in the manual and nothing allows you to switch to NTSC. I set tv and video out to ntsc but nothing will change all the stored sattelites from all Asian, middle eastern and european to United states with a simple switch. Where in the manual does it way that it can do that?

    Need US satellite details...

    Problem is that it's a PAL unit with the SCART connector on the back and everyplace else I have looked online about it said that if I flash it with the US formware it will not recieve anything because the hardwaqre is different. I had to chop off the power cord and change that as well as use a...

    Need US satellite details...

    I unfortunately was suckered into a "great deal" on ebay for a fortec ultra lifetime. It's a china/middle east unit and has NO US sattelites in it's setup. I need to enter them all by hand, but I can not find any details anywhere on what is what. I need the sattelite name, location, LO freq...
