Check Garage sales too. I picked up a "fat" ps2 for $5 (no controllers) and a couple of weeks later found a "slim" one with controllers and memory for $30. Games too, often for a dollar or so. Max Payne was marked "pre-owned --$44.95" from a used software store. Garage sale price was 50...

Lots of fine units out there - you shouldn't have to spend too much to get something you would like. The "One For All" series has a great bunch of remotes at good prices. Harmony is good, too - if you like "activity based" remotes. Spend a little time on Remotecentral.com to get some...

Actually, he is Christian Lyngmark -- Danish or Norwegian, I think (would fit right in with the MN members of this site) Craig

Do what L Alex says -- I seem to be getting confused as it is clear that my dish is RAISED from parallel with the axis of hte mount, just as he says! (sigh) Craig

Denon AVR-3805 with DD7.1 (DTS too)

NO! -- You are setting a "Look Down" angle because you are not at the equator. Please check the manual again as the 25.5 doesn't sound right at all -- and I don't have my manual here to help. Here in Albany at about 43 degrees North the lookdown is ( if my failing mind is still working) 8-10...

Use the 30 degree setting -- newer units use 40 degrees - meaning that yours has been sitting around for a year or so. (Probably!!) Personally, I would try my best to get the dish parallel to the axis of the motor arm and then use an edge of the bracket as a reference to move the required...

I want to win the Motek Motor from Sadoun

Don't sweat it! :-) You are using a motor and, I'll bet, have USALS capability. Be sure your pole is vertical. Be sure your 2100 is at the center position ("0"). Point the dish generally toward the south. Now, using USALS, drive the dish to something close to your true south -- the EchoStar...

Thanks for all the replies. CBC has been FTA for YEARS, and I really don't understand scrambling something that is freely available on the net -- But then I still don't understand BEV cutting off an income stream by shutting Mike down after all the work he had done to support BEV in the US...

Thanks -- I guess (sigh). Looks like one of my fav programs - Disk Drive - is gone forever!. Craig

Maybe it is just me, but a couple of weeks ago I hadno problem getting CBC Radio - Radio2 T is my fav. But today - nothing, and a scan of NImiq 1 gives a few radio stations, but not the CBC feeds that have been FTA since C-Band days. Any thoughts?? Craig

I'm glad that it worked for him, but shouldn't one move the dish to the "0" position and then do the reset? Craig

Pete -- Thanks, I suspected as much. I find that if I delete all the tp's and do a blind scan of the sat that all is well until I leave the sat and return -- then things freeze up again! HUH!!! Craig
