Reset? Does the Reset have any other effects? I.e. does it lose any settings or timers you've programmed, etc.? Is this the same as the menu option to restore factory defaults? So far I've just unplugged the unit for a second or 2 to get my subtitles back.

I've had a 522 for about 2 weeks now, and I've been doing a lot of recordings etc. (+/- 80hrs total) with no problems so far, except for the following: - short (1-2 sec)drops of audio/video, pretty much like everyone else seems to be experiencing. I can live with that, it's not really happening...

I have not verified this by checking for myself on the roof, but after some googling I think the setup is as follows: A Dish Pro Plus Twin LNBF for the 110/119 satellites (http://www.satelliteone.com/dish/store/accessories/dpptwin.html) A DishPro compatible single LNBF for the 61.5 satellite...

I just upgraded from a 4900 to a 522 this morning. I had a 2 dish setup (61.5 & 110/119), with 1 cable run to a single 4900. So I thought they'd have to run a second cable from the dishes to the 522 since it has 2 satellite inputs, but much to my surprise he simply installed a 'separator'...

I've programmed a lot of TP settings in my receiver, and I am wondering if there is a way to get information from the receiver transferred to a PC for backup purposes (so I can then move it back to the receiver if that would ever need to be reset). I have a DB9 female serial connection on the...

I have finally completed the setup of my system, and have been watching FTA for a couple of days now. One thing I noticed is what I think are 'MPEG artifacts', i.e. with rapidly moving images I can see the image being updated in small square blocks of pixels. I didn't notice any of this when I...

When I setup my SG2100 motor, I found that the angle markings on the motor are indeed 'approximate' - see attached image that shows the relation between the azimuth angle of the satellites I set up and the angle marking on the motor. Basically you can use the angle marking to get the dish 'in...

Peter, thx for the reply. I wasn't going to use this function anyway, until I found that the Position button on the remote doesn't allow me to fine-tune into a channel unless I have set the limits for the satellite in question. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to live without that ;) Chris.

On my receiver, in the Antenna Setup menu, there's a function for 'Limit Setup' that allows you to set the East and West limits for the motor. I'm confused how this works. Here's what happened: - I added a new satellite, and did not set up any limits - I went to channel search, moved the dish...

I found Satmex5 and G10R tonight! Turned out I didn't have my SG2100 motor aligned correctly to true South, causing it to point the dish too low for these 2 satellites. Redid the true South alignment, and found them without problem. Thanks Peter! The only ones I would now like to find are...

Awesome! Exactly what I need!! Thanks!! :) Chris.

Getting ready to put the dish on the roof, and I realize I'll have another problem: Since the roof is sloped and I need to put the dish on the back side of the house, it'll be pointing towards the rooftop. Also, the SG2100 motor lowers the dish on the standard mount. As a result I need a...

For SatMex5 and G10R, can you give a couple of freq/pol/SR that are likely to be active tomorrow evening? I'll be continuing my search then. Thanks! Chris.

I'm setting up my system (30" Ku dish with SG2100), and have found most of the satellites between 74 W and 103 W. I'm now trying to go more West, but am having trouble finding anything (I'm at 84W, so the elevation angles get quite a bit smaller as I move more to the West). Are there any active...

The scale from -80 to +80 on the SG2100, does that have any relation to Azimuth degrees? E.g. Azimuth 180 is due South, i.e. 0 on the SG2100 scale. Basically, I'm wondering if e.g. Azimuth 210 would correspond to +30 on the SG2100 scale? Thx, Chris.
