4DTV EPG for those having troupble getting it

Archived from groups: alt.video.satellite.4dtv (More info?)

For those of you getting the EPG every day without problem disregard
this post.

To the rest of you, I think I've figured out about why it downloads
sometimes, but not others.

Apparently whoever is downloading it now is only doing it in the middle
of the night. There's no going to G1-3 at 4pm and getting it loaded if
you missed the night time download.

Additionally, because G1 is a weaker satellite unless you are getting
max signal at the time time of the download you run the risk of missing
it. As an experiment every night this week what I've been doing before
I go to bed is manually moving my dish to G1-3 and manually peaking it
to max signal (about 35) before I go to bed. And voila', I've had the
guide every day.

Of course this method doesn't work if you have the dish moving all over
the place during the night to catch wildfeeds or whatever. Unless you
care to get up at 4am and manually tune the dish.

Take care,
Rich

God bless the USA
