The "dumbed down" DSR922

[elgemcdlf]

The DSR922 is not really a dumbed down receiver. It has things hidden that are not noted in the operators manual. A perfect example of some of these items can be found here 4DTV Hidden Menus

This is aimed towards Bill's comments concerning the 4DTV receivers but for anyone who owns one and is not aware of these features you might find them interesting. Providing you know what they are

Have you been able to tune that transponder I PM'd you about several months ago? When you do, and/or when you're as happy about the receiver after the IPG goes away, then I'll change my opinion.

A decade ago, that used to be one of the best TVRO web pages. However look at the date on it. Like 2001. Actually, I think I remember hearing that Gary Borgoise died several years ago (hope I'm wrong about that), but I don't think that page has been updated for a long time. I think Robert left Gary's page on his web page just for historical interest. It lists clean wild feeds for programs that haven't been on network TV for years, and sats that aren't used anymore. I doubt that you'd find much of use on this page. There are more up to date versions of this list

Satellite Wildfeed Listing ,

however it is out of date too, mainly because of the switch to digital.

Bill I have been so busy I have not had time to even try with those channels you sent me. Currently am pulling min. 12 hr days at work but do have that down to 5 days a week. Well at least last week was. Have a 2 hr drive each way from home so kinda makes for long days. Still are on my list though

I have ran my receiver with no IPG. Just drop your sub and away goes the IPG. It is one of those free things as long as you have at least one sub. Funny thing is most providers show a price for it but you can not buy it seperately and if you sub to something they throw it in for free.

I think we may be talking about 2 different PM messages here. I was talking about the one which referenced a DCII signal that was on a frequency not found on any of the 4DTV channel maps, not the PM about the "free" DCII channels. The 4DTV is really crippled with respect to tuning Freq/SR values that are different from those found in the various channel maps. The url you posted shows that the potential is there for coping with this, but I have yet to read a post from anyone who has had much success with this, which is why I PM's that example several months ago. I think you tried it at the time, but I thought it might be interesting to see whether you could get better results using DRLEVs info.
When I mentioned IPG above, I really should have clarified that I meant the channel maps (which may come down on different sat from IPG). Ie the 4dtv is dependent upon Freq/SR values mapped in for each satellite. If you drop your sub for a while, I assume that you still have the old maps in there, but when things move, you'll have to do a lot of trickery to get things to work, like the recent post by the fellow over on Satforums who was trying to follow a mux that moved from one sat to another, which was complicated because he couldn't see the sat that uploads new maps, so he still has the old maps. Last I checked he still hasn't been able to tune it, even though it moved with identical parameters.
Anyway, even though my 4200 is a bear to tune (about 60 keystrokes to reset to a new VCT), for free (FP/ZK) signals, I'll take it over a 4DTV anyday.
