My old USS Maspro receiver died several months ago, so I had to come up with something quick as a dish mover/polarity switcher. I had a used Supra, but for the life of me I cannot figure the darn thing out. Trying to adjust the polarity, setting the satellites, it has not worked out well. Can someone suggest something simple to do that task for FTA? I also have old GI I have not tried, but since the old VC2 cage leaked, I have not plugged it in. It may be fine, but it may not be any easier to work with. I even looked on ebay for an old USS Maspro MR2, but no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Going out of production because of Chinese tariffs! You need to get one now!
Primestars link of an open ASC-1 box for $135 is the best price out there!
I paid $180 for my first, and then bought another for a backup after i heard the news!
I had a Linkbox 9000i as my FTA receiver slaved to a 4DTV unit like what you are doing!
I had that ASC-1 almost 2 years until the 4DTV finally died, and then I was forced into hooking up the ASC-1
I admit, I was scared of it! ( diseqc 1. or 1.2 or whatever diseqc?)
As it turned out, it was even easier to program in all the sats than it was with the 4DTV!
The Linkbox is in control of the dish by way of the ASC-1 including Horizontal and Vertical ( no more scanning one side and then the other and having duplicate channels)
My ASC-1 remote control is in a drawer without batteries, I can do everything except change the skew, that has to be done at the front panel of the ASC-1.
The only problem I had was to get up off my couch to go look at those small #s on the front when I could not find a sat that, I needed math to find! (how many counts for 1 degree)
