Get ya one of those C band dishes and a GTmedia satellite receiver. Azteca is on 99W and there's a bunch of other Mexican TV on 113W. All in the clear and free. I like to watch the boxing on Azteca sometimes.....

i will investigate that...i like free....

this morning, i noticed the left watt/vu meter on the sx1080 pegs full max...hits the peg...
unit plays normally...no adjustment affects the meter...no noises...no static, crackling, popping...
ideas???

Might want to recheck bias and DC on the speaker jacks.
Think about the meter wires on your PL400. There's a ground and a signal wire. The Pioneer works the same way. If bias and DC are within specs, then start checking components in the ground and signal path for that meter. Good thing is you have one working correctly to compare the bad one with.
It's also been said that static will make a meter stick. Maybe rub it with a dryer sheet or something. Doesn't sound like static though.

Also, try swapping your speaker cables at the receiver. Perhaps the issue is outside the receiver causing a difference in the meters, like a impedance mismatch between channels.

I'm never stress testing a 400 WOPL again, my head aches just thinking about it. Lee's gotta be damn tough testing those 700s.

Hard for me to believe that this bird is still flying 2006, hell, I was still messing around with satellites back then. QUOTE="George S., post: 310573, member: 1592"]Kyle, what's a good site to learn more about free satellite TV, or how to get it free. I'm googling C band dishes and that receiver now. What's 99W?[/QUOTE]

I guess.

Going to keep a eye open for old sat dishes locally. Past spring I threw out a direct TV dish I had converted to wireless G wifi with a biquad antenna at the focal point. Worked really well for long distance wifi.
Going to do more reading. Collect parts. Something to pursue once I retire.
Really though, most anything available on satellite is also available on the internet, I'm thinking.
