    OTA Adapter Availability

    I was told to keep checking and when they get them in stock give them a call to get one sent out for free. I have a feeling they will never be in stock until the dispute is over. Just so they don't have to give them away.

    Is Russia Today showing?

    Galaxy 17 at 91

    Its back up now. I didn't even move the dish or anything. I think they were messing with it since the other sats were all coming in good.

    First timer needs help setting up new dish and motor.

    The motor should be in the center and the whole dish and motor setup should be alligned to true south and of course the pole should be plum. Not magnetic south. Use a compass to align it to true south, yes an imaginary place not a satellite. I don't have a viewsat so I don't know how to...

    I need a good Universal Remote

    I have the Universal Remote MX-500. Universal Remote Control Model MX-500 I think it is one of the best around. I have had it for about 4 years. If I were going to buy one today I would get the MX-850 or 650. They have RF capabilities.

    merury II/amc 6 72.0 w

    I have version 1.53 from July 16 2007. How do you add transponders? I think I have seen the 'invalid parameter' before. And after that I changed the way I manually add transponders. I always manually add my transponders from the 'TP Scan' Menu setting on the installation menu. I don't...

    merury II/amc 6 72.0 w

    Not sure why. I have that channel though and I don't think I manually added it. If I didi it was a while ago. That channel is one of the stongest that I receive. It comes in at 72 quality when the rest of my channels on all sats come in around 26-50. I also have the latest firmware.

    Can't get Signal on 129 with other Sats in the Arc

    Thanks for that scan that is good information. I think I will try adjusting the east/west again. Since 72 comes in at about 62% and all others come in at about 52% and 129 doesn't come in at all I guess I will try that first.

    My receiver is a Mercury II and my LNB is a QPH 031 and its skew is set to 0. The cable length is about 60ft. I have a clear view of the sky. I am using USALS for all satellites. So what effect does adjusting the motor elevation have as apposed to the dish elevation if its not the...

    Can't get Signal on 129 with other Sats in the Arc

    I can get a signal on all the sats in the arc except 129 for White Springs. I think my signals are low. My typical signal quality is about 52%. When I adjust the elevation at the 129 position slightly. I can get about a 30-40% signal quality and then when I go check AMC 3 87 for the Patient...

    I am not sure why it rebooted. Thats the first time it did it except when it was going slow when viewing channels on Galaxy 25 TP 12152. I have deleted that transponder and that problem has not shown up again. I found out how to fix the color problem in the mini picture. I am using...
