still doesn't show it but you should be able to use Brazilsat at 84.0W and just rename it...that's what I did

But that brings up the motor issue. Let me check tonite if you can change the satellite location

Thanks Iceberg, I appreciate it!

I actually have a Visionsat on the way here, still have to pick out a motor tough. I've decided the 3ABN $50 dish should be a good candidate for motorization.

I received my Visionsat today and when I updated it to the 9-19 firmware from VisionSat I was elated to learn that it includes the AMC 2 satellite at 85W!

I'll have to look if mine shows 85W or not

I was waiting on the giveaway today..I didn't want to jinx myself...

I've had one of these for about 2 weeks now. I am either a dumbkopf or this is the most confusing thing I've ever seen. Blind scan....WHY does it have to load TP info EVERY time it blindscans? Blind scan IS finding the TP's, I thought.

With the old firmware, it was much better at ID'ing channels, the new 1.12 firmware broke that, it just says CD1, CD2, etc.

I have a audio issue with the radio side. I was sitting listening to the audio on E* 7 and it just went silent. I put it back on the video side ( NASA channel ) and still no sound. Put it in standby, turned it back on, still no sound. So I started pressing buttons until something happened. When I pressed the MUTE button, and pressed it AGAIN,whammo, sound. It did the same thing three times that same night, and twice the following night. I emailed Visionsat, received a nice return email instructing me to call them. I did, they requested that I do a factory reset and try again. I did that, and am still having the same issue.

Its also very flaky on a switch. It will just drop signal for no reason, and you have to do a hard power off (using the switch on the back) to get it to work the disecq switch again.

I either got a bad one or this thing is very flaky. Other than that I like how its laid out, it has great use of color, menus are pretty clear, although the scan functions are confusing to me.

Don't think it's your problem Stogie. Downloaded Ver 1.12 and minedoes the same thing. Good thing I saved Ver 1.1. Going back to that.

You know, in a way, that's a relief. I thought I was going CRAZY.

It does seem like Visionsat is interested in making it better as a platform though, so maybe they'll fix it.

Someone answer this stupid question for me. A regular disecq switch....is that 1.0, 1.2, or what on the Visionsat? That may be my issue with the switch, bad setup. I am going to move this receiver into my bedroom to replace the Sonicview 4000 in there, its so flaky on the motor I am gonna give the Visionsat a try.

That's something that Iceberg can answer.
Update on Ver 1.12. Before I re-installed Ver 1.1 I deleated G10r and did a blind search and everything returned. The only problem with that is why have to rescan all the birds everytime they change Version's? I saved everything and reinstalled the channel data, which is where I ran into the sound problem.
