Yeah, I know. Maybe worth a shot. Guess I could post as a give away.

I am interested in the 48". Is it still available? I posted this reply earlier but it seems to have disappeared.

I have a Sony XDR-F1HD not working for many years. Apparently these have an overheating problem which damages the power supply and might be repairable. I've never bothered to investigate since there is only 1 HD station in my area. Yours for shipping cost.

Yes, it is. After reading your comment I applied voltage to the terminals and the motor spins. I guess I could have done that before I disassembled the gears. (On the other hand nice to learn how something works.)

I ripped the whole thing apart. I noticed the motor would jerk as I released (not when I depressed) the manual switches so I took the gears apart too, to make sure nothing was froze up. Everything checked out including the limit switches (checking with volt/ohm meter). So I guess I'm stuck, but...

I already opened it, noticed some tiny spiders and cobwebs near the switches but the inside looked dry. I'll give it a one more day of investigation. But days (and daylight) are short and snow is coming here in Michigan's UP. I just wanna' get it back online. If anybody wants to play with it...

Yeah, 5 year warranty looks good. I have plenty of things to tinker with already. It took me a day just to figure this one out. Thanks.

I don't understand what you mean about putting a volt meter and testing Horz and Vert. I did put a volt meter on the coax jack on the back of the reciever and tried running it east/west and didn't seem to get a reading either way. But it could be I don't know how to run the meter, it's one of...

I have a problem I believe is the reciever but not I'm not sure. It will not move my SG6100 motor, I reset several times by pushing both switches on the motor, etc..., (It had been working for a couple years.) The motor is stuck at 3.3 east as shown on the motor display, the east green light on...

Single partition. I wasn't aware of your thread. I already had the 3TB drive for my PC. I plugged it in and it worked, so I just kept using it. I also used it with a Geosat Micro SD which read from it, but eventually crapped out. I wonder if it was a factor.

I think I may have discovered the reason (or maybe one reason) I am having problems with this unit. I've been recording to a WD 3TB hard drive. I've also been storing my PC backup files on this drive. Now the Amiko will not record or even read from this drive, presumably because there are too...

Take the FCC site with a grain of salt. If you can, talk to your neighbors to see what they are pulling in. My map showed that my local PBS station wouldn't come in and it's the most reliable. I have a 30' tower (here when I moved in). When OTA went digital I lost everything. I bought two...

Go to the fcc site: https://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/ Put in your zip code and move the map to your location to get and idea of what's availble at your location.

Thanks. Anybody out there have experience with programmed recording from satellite with the 9000i HD? I've searched for reviews but haven't found a lot.
