PowerVu receivers

[Tron]

There are a couple of Digitrans 7100/7150s out there on Fleabay, but they're a bit pricey. The 7150 is another option for DVB 4:2:2 as well as fixed and zero key DCII. The 7100 will get 4:2:0 DVB and DCII (no 4:2:2). Be sure you DON'T get the ASI only model (DTE-7150ASI), get the one with four standard LNB inputs. These are commercial, broadcast-grade receivers that are not in any way user-friendly, but they will work for these applications.

I work in TV and the place I work at has a D9850 that use to be used to get LeJournal feed and that was encrypted but the program provider had the S/N number for it. The other S/A is used for BBC World and that is encrypted too but that SA will get free to air channels too. You can only set up one transponder at a time and these units we have are rack mounted. Give yours a shot see what you can get Free or not. My 2 cents.

The 9850 has around 54 presets...use the network interface, it is easier to set up...you need to pay attention to the "lock on" setting...PAT or NIT....take your pick, it matters...:up

Perhaps someone can help me with my D9234 issue? Somehow, I've managed to get mine stuck in what is called the Download Decoder Status menu. I have no idea how I got there and now I can't get it out.

Any suggestions?

Factory reset or power cycle...

Factory reset or power cycle...

I can't get it to reset and a power cycle just starts the download decoder process all over again. Still not sure how it has defaulted to this menu on startup and can't exit out.

I sent Ice a URL that discusses this process and hopefully he can figure it out.

The receiver sat for over a year and was working fine. I've got good signal lock on G18, 11720 with a signal strength of 75 but nothing for quality.

Can you connect a different receiver to the same dish and Lock a TP?

What is the EXACT Front Panel display upon boot-up?

I've never heard of it doing that. I just powered mine up and it shows 0000 for channel. I had it on G10 as noted in this post

My 9234 has no display. It has a green LED for power on and another green LED when it has signal lock. Maybe it is an early version.

When I power it up all I get is the power LED and a solid green LED when it locks on signal.

 

[Mr Tony]

I dont think the 9234 has a display because thats all mine does too

 

[Krapola]

That would be a good thing...:up

well I heard from the guy. He sent it to the wrong person (oh nice). He said he is getting it back in a couple days and then would ship it out. He did offer to refund my money but eh I can wait.

so we'll see what happens...I think I'd be moire pissed if I didnt have a remote for the 1st one and was waiting for this one. But the universal remote works on about 99% of the menu options....there are some options that it wont work on

That's interesting... -Well at least it's coming sooner or later, anyway!

 

[eurosport]

...Oh and having a universal remote that does 99% of the functions is pretty darn good! Usually those things only do the easy stuff like channels, volume & power!

 

[Mr Tony]

my Radio shack 4-1 light up remote works for the menus too which is what I need it to do to program...the secret menus use other buttons that the universal doesnt have
