Check how easily the part in the feed turns. (that which the servo moves)

First thing I'd do is Verify operation, Run direct to each dish, with each receiver. Then add just the switch. Then an LNB, then another.etc. Might find a certain combination that has issues. Maybe moving the fixed 103 C-band to another (spare) port? Might be the diseqc switch 'leaks' from...

They're getting rid of the three I watch most. good thing is I have 'alternate means' of receiving them. Can't see the need for HD when all the content, except some commercials, is 4:3 aspect. And the video quality of BEK Prime, which pre-empts COZI from time to time, has video quality of a...

Before replacing the servo. I'd first remove the feed and look down the throat and see if the probe moves the required 90 degrees (when selecting between H and V). If not 90, but it does move, try adjusting the skew for a 90 degree change. If it's not consistent, Or jumps about somewhat, most...

Heard a blirb on the 6:00 news on 'DAZ. Coming soon. No date mentioned. Will have to see what exactly is covered. As some times there's not much to report on to 'fill' the 10:00. (But not lately with all the storms and accompanying damage)

W.U.T. would be my guess. (??)

1 - check for excessive play in the actuator action. Push/ pull the dish trying to extend the actuator, and pull to retract. Any movement of the actuator inner tube? (My almost 30 yr old Von Weisse has this somewhat) 2 - Open the actuator and watch the magnet wheel. Does it get closer to the...

Well, it took a few years to get a red flag notice of a post, so I responded. So. what's up with that??? (That's ALL I looked at earlier) Hey, just realized, I wasn't a member in '06, now I'm a bit confused. In, or about, 06 I just started following as a 'guest'. Joined in '10.

AntAltMike, If you're running Windows (ANY Version) Quicktime Media Player, Remove it, READ THIS Install VLC from videolan (the switchblade of media players) I've used it like forever, it's my default player for all media on both Windows and Linux)

Don't think the software version will effect readings, but incorrect TP info will. Should be able to change an existing TP. 12152 H 20000 is one to look for. Also make sure the L.O. matches what's on the LNBF. Your LNBF skew should be, top of LNBF, twisted to the west 20° Looking at the dish...

30W is only 6.4 degrees elevation here. I went 'sidewinder' fashion when I had the 1.2m on it. Now have a .7m inverted on 30W

I'd say there are shorted turns in that "HOT" transformer. As long as it's got the voltages, and physically fits, KE4EST's transformer will most likely work. Once it's operating again, I'd monitor the output voltage and current while running the actuator all the way across the arc. Should be...
