    Openbox S10 motor issues

    I think you're right! All along I thought it might be the S10, but I never had the reboot problems like most folks had. Tonight, kind of convinced me that it's probably the motor. I'm going to stay on a fixed dish for now. Thanks to everyone for you input.

    Openbox S10 motor issues

    Yes, I have 22k on in antenna setup. I use a universal lnb so it needs to be on. For testing in the house, I switched it off, but didn't make any difference. Thanks

    Openbox S10 motor issues

    Ok, it's a little crude, but I brought the motor into the house and hooked it up to the s10 receiver with a short coax. I setup 58w and 91w as usals and hooked my voltmeter to the lnb out on the motor. Both satellites were on a horizonal transponder and I got a reading 19.45 volts +or- 1/2 volt...

    xtgold, Is the varistor on the power supply and what voltage reading should I see? The receiver tunes channels in fine. I have it fixed on 97w for now. Thanks.

    Openbox S10 motor issues

    I've had an Openbox S10 since April 2011 and had been reasonably satisfied with it, other than some of the issues that have been hashed over many times on this forum. Last week, when I tried to change satellites, my SG2100 wouldn't budge (Usals and yes my latitude & longitude settings were still...

    A New OpenBox Firmware

    Thanks for your work on this ke4est. I have tried different versions and the 10-11-11 release was the closest to fitting my needs, but still suffered occasional freeze ups and audio not in sync on some channels. I just downloaded this version this morning, and I'm very impressed so far...

    How Long Have You Had Your BUD?

    Got mine off of craigslist less than a year ago. Winegard Pinnacle 10ft. Been stored indoors for almost 10yrs. He wanted $80 for it. When I saw that it was a buttonhook feed, I told him that I wasn't interested. Then he told me he would sell it for $20-$30, so I took it for $20. Great dish...

    FTA Only?

    I dumped cable in August and haven't regretted it. Had the pizza dish from both providers in the past. I get around 40 channels ota from 2 major cities, so the locals are covered. I have ku & cband and even though the wife can't operate either system, I love searching for stuff to watch. I catch...

    A minor request from your FTA moderator

    Tony, I will have your grandmother in my thoughts and prayers through out this Thanksgiving weekend. You helped so many folks on this forum, the least we can do is honor your request and pray for your grandma, grandpa, and the rest of your family, in your time of need. God Bless.

    NPS -- no rehit

    @tvropro, re: "I myself can't see the use of having a 4DTV if your not going to subscribe." Thanks, I just had a 922 given to me and really don't think that I'd want to subscribe to programming and from your post, not much to see otherwise. It was purchased new from Skyvision in 2002. After...
