[4DTV] Motorola DSR 922 as a FTA reciver

[Jacob lieberman]

I'm staying at my grandfather's house and he has a 10' satellite dish a Motorola DSR922 and a pansat 3500sd. And was wondering if I could get a taste of FTA with only that. I am new to this so I know nothing about it.

There are a couple channels in the clear on the DSR922. I'm not sure where the channels are since I don't have a cband dish. You can use the DSR922 to move the dish and control the polarity.
The 3500 will also get you some channels that are DVB-S and standard definition. It won't get a lot of channels since most are HD or are DVB-S2. You would need to get a new receiver to get all the goodies. You Pansat 3500 can also control the polarization to get you both horizontal and vertical channels.

Is everything,or anything, already hooked up?Was it a working system?When was the last time it was actually used?Can you take,and post,some pictures of just what you have to work with?

I'm getting a freesat v7 to make my life easier

Getting that receiver will not necessarily make things easier.
It will not control the polar-rotor on the dish, nor will it move the dish.
I recommend upgrading to a LNBF and replacing the LNB/Feed-horn/polar-rotor if you are going this route.
The Titanium C1-PLL would be a good choice.
Then you can use the 922 to move the dish.
