Occasionally, Steak and Eggs, but generally 2 slices of toast with avocado and a fried egg on top. :) This is my kind of thread !

Thanks for the responses. I'm having no success and plan on relocating my dish ( easy to do ) to another temporary location with a wide, unobstructed view. Trying to acquire a signal thru a gap in the evergreens is not helping my confidence. :)

Yes, all those green blocks look inviting !! I'll give it a go !! Thanks. :)

C-band . I have a motorized Ku setup that works just fine for my humble needs. I'd like to get back into C-band again, but have severe limits on the arc that I can hit effectively. I'm in Holland , Mi which is almost azimuth 180 degrees to 87W .

I'm looking for the hottest tp between 87W and 95W , to set up my 4 foot little ugly dish. This is my first setup of a fixed mount prime focus dish ( which doesn't make it any easier) , and being a 4 footer, not as easy as my old 6 footer. :) Thanks for any help ! Brent

1) I, too , have NEVER had any luck controlling a Ku motor via any multiswitch. Which port on the multiswitch guarantees command delivery to the motor ? 2) The only 22khz device that I have EVER heard of , that can drive a downstream diseqc switch, is the Ecoda 22khz switch. All other...

Mike, I notice you're at Barnaget, NJ ( Home of the Hardy Boys ). :) Lots of Yankee knowhow in that area. Good Luck ! :) I once lived in Red Bank, NJ , and visited the Longbranch piers to fish for "stripers" . Nasty out there today !

I use the usb Profs 7500 with TSreader, quite handily. The DVB-S BDA Source driver works with the tuner. :)

I'm also using the Digiwave switch without any issues. One on a Solomend 800 and one on the MicroHD.

Negative, it needs a null modem cable. The transfer should be started at the PC, then the CS8000 powered on at the back switch. :)

I picked up a new SG-2100 from HyperMegasat a couple months ago, to pair with my GeosatPro 90cm. This SG-2100 has worked exceptionally well . My previous SG-2100, from several years ago, was a piece of junk in comparison. The SG-2100 seems to be a "crapshoot" on whether you get a good one or...

The Ku band CBC feeds are strong on my 1.0M dish, in Michigan. I just scanned the C-band side and didn't pick up any CBC feeds on either 4040 or 4160 , but had other channels at 75Q .

I never had any success getting it to work using wireless, so I sold my Elite to Iceberg . He doesn't use the networking anyway. Sorry not to be any help. I'm happier not having an Azbox these days. :)

I think if any of our guys actually had this setup, they'd have spoken up by now. As Anole said, it will probably fit just fine without the shim. If you need to shim it, we'll cross that bridge when we need to, but most of has have shimmed these things for various reasons. When I use a split...

I'd get a DG-380 and shim the tube if necessary with split PVC pipe. Might take a little dremel tool work on the PVC to fit it, but it'll work, I suspect. :)
