How long to let channel maps download??

[Mr Tony]

Well I'm at my cabin today and decided to take the 905 and the new 6 foot dish I got up there (the 6 footer might stay here at the lake)
(yes the dish was in pieces)

Took me a couple hours but finally I got the 905 to lock on G5 TP12 (Starz)
Nice 78 signal/74 quality/+7.6 EBNO
Have the "you have not subscribed to this channel" on channel 100

So now the big question...how long do I wait to let the maps download and can I change satellites to check or if I do that I have to start over?

I did NOT do a master reset yet

Also I noticed this 905 doesn't like to play with a C-Band LNBF...no signal. Run it through the Pansat (looped ouot with a DC block) and it works just fine

dang that was fast...they're already done downloading the newest maps

I have to get my 905 going

 

[Mr Tony]

yes you do
Since it only takes 10 minutes that was enough time for me to grab a coke and post this thread

Not much free on KU so far (PBS on K5 & K3 and the music on X4) but I'm going to try the stuff near the top of my arc (GB-W1) on C-Band

I need to build another shelf... I have my Audio receiver, Direct Samsung, Replay, Coolsat, 622 and Uniden 4200 all on the same shelf... different levels (had the 921 there also, but it has died )
