    DW

    I used to watch DW in German on I34 55,W; since some time I can get the signal but without video and audio. Am I alone ? I saw somewhere that that Information for America: The satellite transmission via Intelsat 34 - aimed at our partner stations for DW Deutsch+ and DW Español - will be...

    Help with the Acme Nut

    Just a follow-up. I ordered the Roton brass nut, cost 30$ as already know, but the delivery (in USA) was 20$ (Ouch!). Finally I found this week a local shop to complete the process. I followed the suggestion from Snofly (Initial thread by Lone Gunman, March 2010) : .... Do not cut the outside...

    Help with the Acme Nut

    If the grease application is a one time one, then the bronze nut is more attractive. Some years back, I have dismantled the actuator and applied Lucas X-TRA Heavy Duty Grease to the shaft; I have just to renew my application, if I understand correctly. Mike

    The last time that I scanned SES1 I got without difficulties Decades, Heroes, Heroes ALT (Q70%), but no MyTV. I had to play with the skew to get the signals, getting around Q63%. You might try to do the same. Mike

    GeoSat MicroHD, no hdmi ouput

    Yesterday I made a hard reset (disconnect and connect the power cord) of my TV and A/V receiver and MicroHD too (once more) and the signal (video and sound) is here again:). So for now, all is working OK. Meanwhile I will continue searching for my component cable of the MicroHD, just to be...

    GeoSat MicroHD, no hdmi ouput

    I should have been clearer, sorry. The MicroHD is connected to my A/V receiver which is hooked to my plasma TV. Also connected to the A/V receiver, via hdmi cables, a STB from my TV provider (ExpressVu Bell) and a BluRay player. Those are working A1. I tried to use another Hdmi input on my...

    GEOSATpro I want to be REALLY sure

    Like I said yesterday, I made a Factory reset, rescanned some 12 satellites C/Kku from 107 to 55,5 W and saved the userdb.udf which I edited with MES. No problem to import, though the ports of my Diseqc for the satellites were not carried in the saved userdb.udf file, curious. I made some...

    GEOSATpro I want to be REALLY sure

    After the STB was updated I did a Factory reset and then did a power cycle if I recall correctly. And after I used the new default satellite/TP list installed with the firmware update.

    GEOSATpro I want to be REALLY sure

    Thanks Iceberg; your comments are always helpful. From what I can see, there are three files that can eventually get updated (not speaking of the logos ones); the Allcode.abs (I suspect that it is the software), the defaultdb.ddf (default channel list ?) and the userdb.udf (user channel list...
