Sathero SH-100HD

[wallyhts]

Yes I did, but i haven't had a chance to use it yet. I'm re-doing my c-band dish, so should get that chance later this week. It has a Russian user manual it came with! However, I got an English one emailed to me from an Australian user. It also came with a European 100-220 volt 50 - 60Hz adapter, with those odd round prongs/plug on it, and no adapter to change the prongs for the US. However, you can power it from your receiver inline through coax, or use one of those dual 9 volt battery adapter plugs. I ordered an American power adapter plug from Ebay for like $2.00, just to have one.

It only took 2 days to get from China to New York, and then 10 days to get from New York to Mid-Michigan! Go figure...

Great, will you post some pics of the display when powered on later this week.

Look forward to hearing how it works out.

Software update is like pie in the sky.

1- You plug usb cable into computer and meter.
2- Meter comes up as a drive letter.
3- you copy .bin or .xls file over
4- unplug usb cable from meter.
5- That's it your done

Well how does it work?

 

[wallyhts]

Well how does it work?

Yes sir. On the road tonight so I only had about 30 mins of testing so far it's looking good.

 

[wallyhts]

Meter is working good so far only about 3 hours playing with it.

I had to call the tech line (BOO) because I could not find the sathero.exe after about 10 mins on the phone I found the file myself in the SH-500G_V20120825-sw.zip file so I suggested perhaps they list it under the SH-100HD section. (That makes sense to me ) "sathero.exe is used to convert .xls to file that you drag and drop"

I was able to line up SES 1 TPG no problem very easy. Will post more in next few days.

Try some DVBS-2 signals and let me know how it works.

[rrob311]

do you have to hook this meter up to a receiver to power it or can you use it by itself?

sathero 100hd

I purchased a sathero 100 from China and when it arrived found the DMS would not support it so the search was on found a site that had the software but the USA satellite map was bad so I am making my ownView attachment tp am mod 3.xls
The 100 will only accept 20 satellites and more will cause a lock up. It will not test 8k turbo and 129 has a sd tp for locating satellite. My meter is now working as advertised and worth $33 delivered.

Company link for converter from DB to sathero, file is dragged over to load sat finder.

Wild, thanks for posting your satellite list. I noticed on the
Dishnet 119 and 110, you are using V and H instead of R for right and L for left. Is there a reason for that?
O.K. figured it out, it is suppose to be like that.

 

[mr.crane]

Meter Works Great

Well I tried the meter after making a short list, since I only have Dishnetwork, and have not set up my FTA.
It worked great, meter very easy to use. But you do need the receiver for power. Looking into a battery pack.

Just a little bit of information about the Sathero SH100. It does not play well with Linux. I could not get it to update the satellite list when I copied the converted Excel file to it with Linux. When I used a virtual machine running Windows 2000, it took just as advertised. Thought this little bit of info might help someone down the road. And maybe save a little hair.
