That is so old it almost qualifies as an antique. It was great equipment when it was new but it is like a Model T compared to a DirecTiVo HD receiver. Have fun playing with it but don't spend much money on it.

I don't think the Videocipher II data stream is supported anymore. You would have to get a Videocipher II+ which would cost a couple of hundred dollars. The receiver I know nothing about.

My C-band receiver just died in June and I switched to Dish Network because it was going to cost me way to much money to upgrade my receiver.

C-band Conversion

I have a question if anyone's reading this thread. Can I convert my C-band dish to a DBS dish? Is it worth the trouble? My interest got spurred when I saw this in a catalog.

The one I bought from them didn't work very well I had to move the dish for each satellite the 10' dish had to narrow a focus. Small dish worked far more reliably.
