Here's my CSV satellite file that I know works as I just reloaded it a couple of days ago doing the 1.6 to 1.8 editor upgrade. You may try this just to see if your satellite file is corrupted on the off chance. It is zipped to ease upload. === Bill

Did you do a Global Reset then power off for 30 seconds then power on after loading your update? Also... Do you get an error message from the editor? === Bill

Vu+ Duo2 keeps time using NTP server queries, too. === Bill

I have already deleted MS10 and MS20. === Bill

I saw the same response Brian. I really wanted a 10 footer and anxiously waited for Mike Kohl to resurrect the SAMI but saw health and other problems caused issues for him. I actually ended up buying a commercial DH spun aluminum dish new for an eye popping and wife hating price. I replaced a...

Congratulations, Brian. Nice to see your success in this hobby! === Bill

Satellite AR works on Android phones and tablets. I use it on a Samsung S4 and a Nexus 10 tablet.. Best free app out there === Bill

Ham Nerd... If you have an Android phone or tablet then download the app "Satellite AR". It is free and you can put in the satellite (or even all visible) and the virtual reality app will use the camera to show exactly where in the sky the birds are at. There is most likely an iPhone version...

Duct Tape! Is there anything it can't do??!!? Great use there Mr. Iceberg! :) === Bill

Epic! I pissed my HOA by putting a GeoSat Pro dish in my front yard and invoked the OTARD rule to get them to back off... But this is over the top cool. My Nerd-O-Meter is maxed. Well done... well done! === Bill

If lead-based paint absorbs RF energy then I want a refund as a taxpayer for us spending so much on stealth technology! /end sarcasm === Bill

I dropped $175 a month DirecTV about a year ago and went a combination of Netflix on AppleTV at $8 a month + Ku and c-band FTA. FTA is a hobby. If you don't think you will like tinkering and hunting for feeds and hanging on forums for hints on what is on the air at a given time you may not be...

I am just north of you in Jensen Beach. I cannot get Star One C2 at 70w here at all on my 10 footer. Star One C1 at 65 w is fine. === Bill

Great question but highly dependent on what you like for programming. Me? I would center that 40 degrees on 99w. I watch on c band 58, 91, 99, 101, and 105 the most (i.e., NHK, Reelz, KBRK & ABC feeds, and NBC feeds). For Ku I like 83, 101, 121 and 125 the most (I.e., TuffTV, Pentagon...

You mention the cell phone app but don't really indicate why you are not using one. The best one for Android in my opinion is "Satellite AR"... and it's free. If you load "All Active Satellites" it will show the geostationary belt in detail. There is no guessing at all. It uses the camera...

What did you use for a pole? I used a chain link fence post and filled mine with concrete. Works great with the Geosat Pro mount. It's a great dish. === Bill

I have a neighbor that is another development behind me that is an absolute nut-job. All sorts of harassment because her neighborhood has rules about clearing vegetation that mine does not. Somehow she got it in her head that I had to follow her rules even though the HOA, the county and the...

I have a 1.2m dish with Universal PLL LNB north of you in Jensen Beach and I get 34.5w just fine. === Bill

Here is a post I put on another forum... I'll cross-post it here to just show what is possible with a programmable remote (this is not a $15 universal with macro capabilities). Personally, I am not into my Ford is better than your Chevy so I am just offering this up to show what is possible. I...

Radar Unequivocally, going to a Logitech Harmony One is worth every penny. Mine covers Panasonic plasma, a Yamaha audio amp, a Delphi SkiFi XM receiver, a Manhattan RS-1933, an AzBox Premium Plus, a Panasonic Blu-Ray DVD player, an AppleTV box, and a 4x1 HDMI / Toslink switch. Only thing in...

"Do you work for the CIA or something?" Actual question from neighbor. === Bill

Even Georgia is too far north. I can get this bird in south Florida but even at that signal quality is only about 36% on my AzBox with 1.2m dish. (You guys aren't missing much. There are 4 FTA barker channels for a Mexican pay-tv service and that's about it.) === Bill

I find USALS works well for me from 125w to 43w. But to get 37.5 and 30w I have to use DiSEQC and bump my 1.2m dish west almost a degree. I can get all the way down to 15w but also have to manually find it with DiSEQC. Not a lot on that bird worth watching and having my dish flopped way over...

Here's a thought. I used USALS for all my ku satellites. ONe of the last I tried for was the French channels on 34.5w. I tuned it in and was getting 30 - 40% quality and terrible pixelation. For grins, I went to the dish and hooked up my meter. Playing with the east - west position on the...

no issues with 30w here in south Florida === Bill
