Hello to all, I have a 922 slaved off of my Traxis3500,with a 36in. dish and motor looking at x4. I am subing with SRL. I have to have both boxes on to this, but I only get Horizontal channels. I know it has been asked before,but someone explain what I change to get get the Vertical stuff? Thanks so much in advance

if you are slaving the 922 off of the traxis then the traxis will control the polarity so switch the traxis to a vertical TP and you should get vertical channels on the 922.

Rainman, Thanks for the reply. I have tried what you said and still nothing. It does not matter what I do to the Traxis,nothing changes. Does this have anything to do with Mapping in channels? Is there any thing I need to do on the 922? I also called SRL and they could not help me as I expected.

shouldn't have nothing to do with the mapping it maybe that your TDT count is to high and you will have to do a master reset on the 922 to take care of the problem.

Make sure that you have the dsr922 set to Ku-LNB-f, an that you are putting the coax from traxis in the ku-port (lower port on 922). an when the traxis is power off in stand-by mode sud get both polaritys, an if not take the coax off the traxis an put it right on the 922 to try out, an see if they come in.
good luck...

I would reverse the slaving to start. Mainly because I understand it better that way

Should not really make much difference either way but you are having a problem. You are using DC block on the slaved side correct? I know I tried this reverse slaving thing and did not have that great of luck.

1 more thing DBS if that dont work, is to check the DSR922 to make sure that it working correctly. is hook up a multi-meter to the ku-port of the dsr-922 an when you change cannels or swith from V to H you sud see volts go from 14volts dc to 18volts dc or just the reverse of the voltage, but they sud change, get back an let us know if works or not

Hello again and thanks for the response, The one thing I am missing is the DC-block, I understand it is best to use one. Can I be doing damage to my receivers without one? Also, I understand RS has them, does anyone have the part number for it?
