Default repair/schematic for directTV receiver

Hi All,

Looking for a site or place to get some tech information and schematic for the
older DirectTV recievers.

I understand that the reciever for the DirectTV box is around 1GHz, the 12GHz
from the disk is down converted to this range so that the loss in the cable can
be less.

I am interested in the 1 GHz receiver for some amateur radio projects and I
have seen a few of the receivers around the yard sales for 5 bucks or less.
Complete systems for about 15 bucks.

I was considering getting one and see what I could do to make it usable at
around 915MHz. I also understand that voltage is on the cable and this could
be used to power a rf amp at the antenna end.

This reciever most likely has a wide bandwidth, which is good for some ATV
work.


Has anyone here opened the receiver box up to see what under the hood?

Maybe a tech site with data on the reciever?
