I bought this a couple of weeks ago, new (refurb), and no longer need it. Beyond opening the box and checking that all the bits are there, it hasn't been touched. Portland, OR area for anyone that wants to pick it up. Outside that area I will ship it via UPS. Original bill of sale available...

Last week, I left my Sat Buddy 2 outside overnight, and, of course, it rained. It was pretty soaked, and water would spray out as I shook it. :eek: I opened it up, dried it out, but of course, its dead. I have asked what its likely to cost to repair, but my guess is that repair will be close to...

Ok, I have tried to make some sense of this in my mind, but fail miserably. The question: Why does best signal quality not necessarily coincide with maximum signal from a satellite. I am assuming that skew is correct.

Does anyone have any advice on decent satellite meters? They really seem hard to find. I bought a Digisat Pro III thinking that it would do all that I need -- which isn't much, just set up my Dish DP for the RV, from time to time set up the home dish(es) - Dish 1000, and, of course, find...

Many (most?) FTA receivers seem to support digital audio only as far as relaying the digital signal to a port (SPIDIF usually). This leaves the user with the task of finding something to decode the digital signal. Most high-end home theater systems will do so these days, but many people, like...

I have a VBOX-II which I am using to control my 1.2m Channel Master dish, and wondered if anyone has tried using one of these with USALS ? (Having spent the time setting up the satellite positions I don't want to throw it all away to experiment :-)

The clock on my Mercury II loses around 3 minutes per day. That is REALLY annoying ... Does anyone else have the same problem? (I want to know if its a generic problem before contacting Sadoun about a potential replacement).

Just a gentle rant about picture quality... A long time ago, my first job out of school involved redistribution of off-air TV signals. We spent a lot of time and effort getting clean pictures, and I was trained to look at TV pictures critically, to the point where when I went to visit relatives...

After scanning G10 I have one or two chanels with no sound. Isuspect that the audio PID may be incorrect and so want to add/change it. However, I cant see how to do this. The "Edit Channel" function is practically useless, all it can edit is the name, position in the list etc. I could delete...

Lyngsat shows BBC World as ITC on Galaxy 13. Does anyone happen to know if this is 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 ? I have a sapre 10' dish I could put up to get this, but don't want to bother doing that if it turns out to be 4:2:2 and would need another $5k or so for a receiver!

As I understand it, the satellite at 129 (Echostar 5) has mechanical stabilization problems requiring them to use maneuvering motors to hold station, resulting in limited lifetime (runs out of fuel) and poor station keeping (varying signal at edges of beam). It also appears to have electrical...
