Looks like I've gotta take a break from this issue. Windy today, winter blast after that. Early next week again I hope. I have an IPTV service so I still have tv, not quite as reliable though. Thanks everyone for now.
It would be good if you know of someone with an iks setup that you could try your stb in to confirm/eliminate it as the problem.Is that an option for you?
There is so few of us left. I don't know anyone else.Quote:

have you gone to dishpointer dot com yet ? if not then I suggest you do that "FIRST" to be able to properly aim "YOUR DISH"Quote:

You have to get your dish pointed & locked on to the sat or sats you want to hit, before you do anything else
Very windy today. Tomorrow and going up for sure. Got a helper here with me. Gonna work on it till it works.
That's the spirit.Quote:

would you be able to get your hands on a older Bell receiver, they work way better for Dish pointing, and will lock on toQuote:

Dish for 82. do you know what type of LNB's you have ? (legacy, dish pro, dishpro/plus) because the dish-pro & dish-pro/plus have
a built-in switch, which you have to account for in receiver dish settings setup.
You're in a tough spot now because you don't know if it's a hardware issue, or simply aiming the dish.You have disturbed the dish aim now,so you're staring from ground zero.If there's someone you trust to send your DL to that has a functioning system, I would try that.At least you can confim/eliminate the state of the DL itself.If it's good, you're down to dish aim/cabling/switches/lnbs.I have no idea where you live but I'm willing to help if I can.
I am willing to test your T5 on my setup just to rule out that it's not a receiver or hardware problem etc.
If you are willing to send it to me, willing to do Free of $$. If interested send a P.M. and we can work out something
If he happens to be in the Windsor/Essex County area, I will also do that for him to rule out the receiver issue.
I've been helped here many times so it's no probs to help out another member.
And I'm just south of Owen Sound ON.
It would be a lot more handy if someone was in the west, maybe edmonton.Quote:

All this at "NO COST TO YOU" other than the shipping cost to send it to me. So if still interested in doing this send a P.M.
And we will "GET-ER DONE"
You're a good man Auggie...you remind me of me.lol.
call me OLD-FASHION, BUT that is how I was brought-up, and your "WORD" is your "BOND"Quote:

I know when I'm beat.
Your more than welcome to send it to me to see if it can be saved.I'm not sure what signal you saw with the Bell ird,but it may be misleading you.All it will cost is the shipping.I will return it to you in any case.Quote:

either way you are in good hands with us, we will test it out and let you know if receiver-hardware or something else.
Thanks Auggie
As in post #62 you are more than welcome to get it checked out
I'm done. I'm too old to climb up on the roof. I injured a rib last time. That's all. It's been a slice. Thanks again everyone. Anyone close to edmonton can come and pick up the dreamlink for free.
I sent you a PM, you can send it to me (I'll pay shipping) if interested.Quote:

Does anyone have an explanation regarding the red signal & quality bars but still receiving channels. There has been frequent brief freezes for the past couple of days and I thought it may have been due to a server problem. Now I think the T5 may be having weird problems instead. Thanks
Noticed the changes also. Bell is moving channels to different transponders. Do not change anything till they are finish moving things to there final location. It maybe a few weeks till they stop moving things around. Till then watch what you have.
Same...... Not a T5 issue though, in my opinion.Quote:

Read the sat91/82 up/down thread:changes on Bell end.Quote:
