I got my satellite finder meter off fleabay a few days ago and just now tried it out,I was not out there 5 minutes and had galaxy 19 tuned in,this $5 meter worked like a charm! I came in did a blind scan on my Geosat pro and WALLA..got lots of channels with 80% signal...I couldnt be more happy...

I ordered a meter off fleabay for $5 simple and no bells and whistles,I really only need it one time or so,I will post when I get it and try it out.

It would be hard to drag a 50 in.flat screen outside. How about one of those $10 satellite finders off fleabay do they work?

I had to remove the motor from its position on the pole and now Im having a hard time hitting Galaxy 19 or any other satellite,its a PITA running back and forth from dish to inside the house to see if I have a signal,any easier way to locate a satellite?

You are exactly right! I took it apart and losened the motor bolts and lifted the motor off the jack screw and got it turned around,I found the reset button also and reset the thing and it seems to work again..thanks for the help!

My motor is stuck in the most west position and it will only come east a few inches then stop,I have only 1 button that controls E-W movement,I press the button twice then hold and it moves east a little then stops,then press the button once and hold and it goes full west and stops,I checked my...

Got my Geosat pro 3500 today and hooked it up and so far LOVE this thing...the built in WIFI was easy to setup and works flawlessly. Now...I am having a problem with my motor on my dish,I have a powermax Sg 9120 that has a red light on it,it moves all the way to the west but will only go about 3...

I seen it in action on youtube and I think I will give it a try,it has to be better than that Sonicview 360 I had! Thanks for the headsup though.

I checked into the openbox and its only for the european market,I got in contact with SatelliteAV and I am ordering a new Geosat Hdvr3500 60gb with wifi built in,it looks like a good one!.

Since I got rid of my Sonicview 360 a few years back because it was turning into a real job to get it work,viruses or something,I have been looking at the latest recievers and came upon one called a Openbox V8s,it looks to be something in my price range and needed some input,first,do I need an...

I was outside looking at the motor Powermax SG 9120 and the led light is green,when I go inside and use the reciever to move the dish east or west the motor gets a red light and again,the motor will move a few inches and stop. Sound like the reciever?

Well...I decided to try my Sonicview 360 Premier today after not using it for about a year,to my surprise I couldnt get the dish motor to move more than 20 degrees, I tried everything in the setup and no luck..it will move 10 inches east and 10 inches west and stop,I did a factory reset and no...
