4DTV Online, nice site TvroPro! So there's been a discovery in not having to brick the 4Dtv in order to get W5 next year?

Yes. For some reason I had my understanding backwards. Dolby Digital is a higher quality than 4DTV's Dolby Pro-Logic. What's going to happen to the sounds if the 4DTV is converted into a DSR410? It'd probably be better to buy the DSR410 instead of converting the 4D I'm thinking.

Well, here we are - 4DTV inching closer to extinction! I'm sitting here in (LITERALLY) a "BLIZZARD": CONSTANT 50++ MPH WINDS (hilltop/pinnacle) with sleet/snow... watching my 4DTV WITHOUT any interruption of audio/video! Merry Christmas all! Somebody sound the bugle.

Sorry again everyone. Because I was missing the 4 channels, I changed my settings to just LNBs and not LNBF, allowing me to change the skew. I noticed that the missing channels were for Horizontal, and all other channels I was getting were Vertical. Thought my hardware must have gone bad...

^^ well said

At second glance, these are all the WEST channes for HBO/MAX, with the exception of 743 and 744.

All of a sudden the other day, I'm now not getting channels 101, 103, 151, 160 on W5. Anyone else having issues?

damn, sorry my comments above aren't right. Not sure what I was looking at (or drinking) to think I had 900's mapped, I don't. Found the settings. I've got an LNB type set as c/ku lnbfs When listening to 825-829 I get sig 72 qual 28 When I go to 830 or above, it drops to 68,0 my dish...

Yes, the url for that page says 4dtvguide.htm. I have the 900 channels mapped on the 4dtv - I wonder why? - if they're exclusive to the 410. :confused: Of course none of them work. I need to figure out why I'm not getting the larger chunk of DMX in the 800's.

The dish is big enough, the lnb should be adequate. What is funny, I'm getting the channels you are missing, and missing the channels you are getting. I've stepped through all of the cannels, they are mapped. I should recheck the dish also since it's sat untouched for a while. I don't think...

how many dmx channels Anyone know how many dmx stations are on w5? I'm only getting 5 out of all the ones listed here: http://www.skyvision.com/pages/information_center/4dtvguide.htm

For me, it's a matter of cost/quality. I know what my television is capable of, the quality being received by w5 is less than the tv's weakest qualities - that's saying allot. There's nothing that can be done to improve the quality, and I think it stinks. Comparable to VHS. I've even tried a...

I subscribed for one month, just for W5 channels. I have to say I'm disappointed in the picture quality. The biggest thing I notice that tells me that the quality is very weak - when there is a lot of black in the picture, I see a lot of blocking going on. This is truly sad. I've made...

Thanks for all the intel. Really appreciated. HITS is all major movie channels?

The tv won't upscale the signal itself, that's why I'd run the sig through the audio/video reciever (which has Faroudja DCDi cinema, it does okay) to upscale to 720p, and then to the native 720p tv - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
