Excellent!! RADAR

JMC, OK. You know that you had the signal from 97W locked in originally, albeit a little shaky, right? Then you tweaked on the dish (and/or the motor) and you lost contact with that signal. Therefore, you should simply realize that you are merely just misaligned. You could attempt to...

JMC, Sorry that the guides confused you. After you have spent more time experimenting with your equipment and have re-read the guides then the directions will become more apparent to you. I happen to have the same dish (1.2M GeoSat Pro) and the identical motor (DG-380) as you have. My...

Vallenato, Yeah, that sounds like it should work just fine. Coolsat wired to motor to control motor and then to one port of the LNBF. OpenBox wired to 22KHz switch then DiSEqC switch and then to the remaining port of the LNBF on motorized dish. The other 22KHz and DiSEqC switch ports feed...

Hey Boris, Sorry, I missed this reply from you when you posted it. Great FUN video! I assume that what you typed are the lyrics of the song by Valery Kuras: "Pampushechka" Really good! It doesn't translate perfectly, but I understand the meaning fine :) "The first days of spring March 8...

Jim, I am not certain of how this motor retains that memory. But, the BBRAM IC that i spoke of looks like a typical IC, except it is "fatter" (taller and wider). The lithium battery cell is actually built into the IC so there wouldn't be a separate battery like a coin cell type on the board...

JimS, Which receiver are you using to control this motor? This could be a receiver problem since there is nothing stored in the motor when using USALS. The motor positioning is all calculated from the lat/long coordinates of the site and the orbital position of the satellite selected, all of...

darkCoklat, From all appearances, it looks like all your hardware is in good shape. You were able to communicate past the point where my first failed AZBox was, I never got to the point of recovery with my failed box as it was a physical hardware failure and I had to send the box in...

Vallenato, Regarding question #1. This is not recommended as the current demand of the motor will typically destroy your switch and it may not always work in the first place. This is the accepted answer. Now, just to contradict myself, I personally set up just a system to test this, running...

SeaRay, Welcome to Satellite Guys forums! We are very glad to have you as a member for certain! There are individual forums for FTA sat, OTA terrestrial and DN and DirecTV and others, so no matter what you decide upon, you will be very well served by being a member here. As stated by Lone...

µHD or AZBox Premium + Both have advantages over all others. I have both units, but I haven't hooked up my µHD yet. The µHD is less expensive and more user friendly (as I have been informed). The AZBox has other capabilities like 4.2.2 etc, but is much more expensive and has some glitches...

Excellent! All the videos are great and I love the comedy "submariner", but BELARUS is simply beautiful! Thank You Boris, RADAR (Gordy) EDIT: added this song since Sweet Home Alabama was removed.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZv2s7fU0v4 EDIT: Added one more...

Brandin, You are welcome. I commend you on your desire / willingness to follow through with this enterprise and accelerate the use of FTA in Alaska. I do comprehend the fact that FTA satellite TV would be a desirable option for the residents there. So, let's discuss this in more detail so...

Tonguetwister, Be sure to pick out the best quality RG-6 cable and connectors you can obtain. You can get most everything at one stop on the net through Tech Tool Supply: http://www.techtoolsupply.com/?gclid=CNK16pyZw7UCFa1AMgodUEIAIw I recommend the compression type connectors...

Brandin, In my opinion, I believe that the future is going to be more and more based upon streaming internet and the content therein as opposed to any home-based/personal satellite avenues. Obviously, someone has to set up a receiving station which would include a satellite based access to...

Plus and Plus! A double win both ways for us! Aw crud, the slogan even rhymes! :p LOL RADAR

FTAalaska, FTA satellite TV is primarily a hobbyists endeavor today. It does not replace or substitute for the programs that can be found through pay-subscription services like DN or DirecTV or Shaw/BellExpress etc. However, it can be a really engaging hobby for those with the background...

Tonguetwister, That is a fairly high dollar LNBF. I would recommend verifying if the LO drift is the actual cause before you pitch it. Erase all the TPs logged in on a specific sat and when the LNBF is cool, like early in the morning when it hasn't been powered up for more than a few minutes...

Avenger, I am not meaning to sound so much like I am just parroting Brian above, but I did want to add a few personal points to watch out for and a couple explanations/tricks. The main items to be sure you set correctly are the latitude on the motor, the elevation of the dish and the plumb...

Anymore I deal directly (and solely) with the sponsors of SatelliteGuys and those companies which advertise and visit the forum here. I have never found a reason to gripe with them, not once and not in the least! I have never come close to a bad experience with any one of them here...

If I may chime in here, too... I have never utilized the standby mode on any receiver, I always leave them in the FULL ON mode 24/7. Reasoning? It's always ready to go, doesn't appear to create any problems, doesn't consume enough power to change the electric bill, and I don't have to fret...

Avenger, When you are setting up a motorized dish to track the entire satellite arc, these coordinate entries are highly important. HOWEVER... You must realize that a few minor discrepancies or differences in these coordinates are not going to BUST your alignment. Tenths of DEGREES and...

I would personally double-check your coordinates using GOOGLE EARTH. Compare GE's result to your other results and use the set that matches the closest. Google Earth is generally quite accurate, but it will display in DEGREES, MINUTES, SECONDS and you will have to convert this to decimal...

Mahajar, Welcome to the forum! As Brian asked in the post above, I would also like to know what all the equipment you have is (the LNBF, the cable, the FTA receiver). You already mentioned the motor - SG-2100, so we got that covered. One of the main items that I would like to know...

I'd like to make this comment: I don't know if all jurisdictions use the same light bars for their patrol vehicles, but here in Nebraska, both the state and the local law enforcement vehicles are equipped with lights which are brighter than the midday sun! My eyes are very sensitive to bright...
