    AMIKO Manual for DM3800 DiSEqC Motor

    Today, I saw that the "West" LED was blinking twice after both "East" and "West" LEDs flashed normally three times. I've look around, but cannot find the included manual. It's around here somewhere, but I'm not yet sure where. For the moment, is there an accessible PDF copy?

    AMIKO DM3800 DiSEqC Motor Issues

    I recently purchased an Amiko Mini H265, which arrived yesterday. I’ve been using an Amiko DM3800 motor since October 2020 and it has worked great. However, yesterday, something happened. When I connected the coaxial cable to the Amiko, everything was working fine. About 15 minutes afterward, I...

    OTHER Trouble Aiming 1.2m Dish with Amiko DM 3800 Motor

    For nearly 7 hours today, I tried to aim my GEOSATpro 1.2m dish with an Amiko DM 3800 motor, and got absolutely nowhere. I believe my declination angle is completely wrong, but I don't know how to calculate it. The manual for the motor says "35º-DECLINATION ANGLE," which for my location would be...

    OTHER Looking for DiSEqC Motor for 1.2m Dish

    I am having lots of trouble finding a DiSEqC motor for my GEOSATpro 1.2m dish. I’ve been looking for one recently because I have enough money to spend for one. The only problem is that the only listing I could find on eBay was for a motor that can only support a dish up to 36". I don’t know of...

    4080 H - Galaxy 16 (99.2W)

    I remember a few years ago, Fox/MyNetworkTV had a distrubiton feed at 99.2 west on 4080 H. I remember they had 2 channels on the transponder: 'G16/19' and 'G16/19 HD'. Are those feeds still around? I know Fox has their syndication feeds on 4060 V, but these were slightly different.

    OTHER Signal Strength Weaker at Night

    About one week ago, I replaced my old Avenger LNB with an Avenger Universal LNB with dual outputs. Ever since then, however, my signal strength has been noticeably weaker and sporadic. I have a GEOSATpro 1.2m dish parked on 125W for the PBS feeds. Before I replaced the LNB, these were the Q...

    "Troubled 3" on 101 Having Trouble AGAIN

    Not sure if it's on my end, but earlier today, the "troubled 3" (Decades, H&I, Movies!) are having trouble once again. They didn't have trouble for months. As soon as "My Three Sons" comes on the Decades Binge, the channels start acting up. :crying

    Using Dish Network HD Dish for Ku-Band Reception

    Even though I have a 32" Ku-Band dish, my neighbor gave me an old HD Dish Network dish about a month ago. I was curious if this would work with Ku-Band if I replaced the LNBFs with one singular Ku-Band LNBF? Here's what the dish looks like (it looks similar to this):

    Problem with H&I - SES 1

    I used to get H&I at 72% signal quality. Now recently, the signal has dropped. Now, I've also noticed that the signal will completely drop a few times. Like today, the signal will jump from 62% to 60% to 58% to 8% or 0%. This just keeps happening. No other channels on SES 1 have this problem...

    HITS Quantum?

    I've always seen this over on AMC 18 (105W), but I've never knew anything about it besides it being scrambled (presumably pay) channels all scrambled via DigiCipher II. What is HITS Quantum? Is it subscription based? Could I still buy a subscription by chance? I need some information on this.

    Need Some Help

    I've been thinking about trying to receive Ku-Band signals. But I'm stuck between two options: buying a separate dish for Ku-band or buying a C/Ku LNBF. I'd like some repose on this. Which would be better?

    New Shows Coming to Me-TV - Fall 2015

    It's that time of the year when Me-TV changes the Fall schedule to make room for new shows and remove a few others. From what I've seen, there's only 2 ‘new’ shows coming to Me-TV this year. Those two shows are Matlock and Have Gun - Will Travel. Any thoughts? And what shows would you like to...

    Problem Playing MicroHD Files on WMP?

    When I record some channels, in this case Me-TV, I try to play them with Windows Media Player and in Movie Maker. When I play the files in WMP, there is no video; only audio. This goes for Movie Maker. Something wrong? I like to edit on Movie Maker to remove commercials very easily.

    No Reception from Me-TV

    On SES 1 at 101°W, I can get Decades, H&I, H&I Alt, Movies!, the TCT channels, the scrambled Viacom channels, Daystar, and a few others. It seems the only channels I can't get are Me-TV 1 and 2. All Weigel channels (Decades, H&I, H&I Alt, and Movies!) come in with a signal reading of about 70%...

    A Newbie with a 10' Dish

    Hello all. First of all, let me start off by saying that I'm a new member. And that I am very new to the world of FTA satellite. Though, I am learning quite quick about it. So far, believe it or not, I have no questions, but I may think of some. But here is a question about a satellite; the...
