They just moved FNC to Digicypher II. I dug out my DSR-406 and went to G-3 and set the freq. and sybol rate and FNC popped right in. But 24 hours later they turned on the need for authorization and it was gone. I called my program provider (NPS) and they can't figure out how to hit my DSR-406. ...

Hello, everyone. Is it true that C Band no longer has any PPV? It's been years since I've experimented in C/Ku band TVRO and I've recently gotten back into it with an 8.5 foot dish with C/KU LNBs and a Motorola (or Next Level or General Instrument...whoever) 922 4DTV receiver. Any insight...

I just upgraded my analog receiver to 4DTV and tried adding a HDD200 HD decoder yesterday. I'm trying to find out if I connected it right because I'm not getting a HD signal/picture through the 200 decoder. The receiver is working properly with several digital channels present. I connected it...

Are they still on C-band and using Videocipher 2? Thanks!

I've had my BUD set up for about 10 years consisting of a 10.5' mesh dish, heavy duty actuator, GI 450i and I can't remember which LNB but, I seem to remember I bought a better one than required and think it's 17 or 15 degrees. I just ordered a 922 and HD decoder and was hoping to find out...

Hi, Well it was there at news time yesterday, but it is gone now. This on and off again feed is becoming more and more unstable. Now that they fixed the bandwidth, they killed the feed. Hard to figure what the purpose of all this is. uh
