frances........I truly appreciate the advice and offer, honest, I do. Please understand my position here. I have wonderful posters who are kindly offering to help with the expense. It is something I could not afford to do, just to get this one channel. My big dish is "frozen" pointing at the correct satellite. It cannot move off that spot, which means I do not need to have a receiver programmed for every satellite up there.
I just need it to work for the E6 one. tho, if I got a new acutator motor, it would come in handy to have a new receiver programmed already for everything. But how would someone in Indiana know the direction from MY location?
So, o.k. I get the receiver, it is preprogrammed. Then what? How do I install it, hook it up, etc. Do I need other cables, does it operate instead of or in conjunction with my present receiver?
Just so you all know.....I have been in contact with Prevuze, and know all the problems that occurred. The equipment was ordered, received, and an attempt to self-install was a failure. fortunately, a tech person resides in Prevuze town, and wqs able to come out and get everything working properly. Being as the feed does not come til the middle of the night.....it means getting up, staying up, until showtime, to be sure the feed came in. Fortunately, it worked.
Now I do not have a tech person in my town....so unless I can do it myself, correctly and successfully, I am very reluctant to ask my friends and fellow posters here to pay for something that I could possibly not get to work.
So, thus my dilemma.
I am trying the best I can to try and get back with the program. I run a full time business from home, and that comes first. And while I am not stupid, it was very frustrating not being able to get my VCR to record other channels besides CBS on my regular TV. LOL. I spent hours trying to get it to record NBC to no avail. So thank heavens Norma came to my rescue with a way to have me download Days onto my computer. (This takes about 40 minutes, then another 40 watching, and another hour or more to write it up)
and God Bless KathyLu and DJM who have stepped in to help me out.
