I have been using an Invacom QPH-031 for a couple of years on a 1m Winegard Dish and an SG-2100 clone motor. I have an 8psk-to-usb genpix adapter, and have finally figured out how to compile and configure MythTV in linux. Have a Nexus-S 2.3 and a SkyStar2 rev. 2.4 in my closet, and was...

Thanks for the PDF file. Read the Backlash Adjustment, but do not understand what that is for, except perhaps when a motor does not go to zero (0) when sending it back to reference point. My motor, goes to zero, no issue there. What I was explaining is that there is the ever so slightest wobble...

Slack? - Please elaborate on what you mean. "stogie5150 Sounds like you have a bit of slack somewhere in the rig. I use homebrew mounts for my P* 1m dishes, and they have a bit of slack in them so I have to bump them about a bit. But I use a standalone box to move my dishes so that's no...

Similar location and Situation I am near Fort Lauderdale, with similar elevation, longitude and latitude. So the motor and dish angles are quite similar. The TS bird for johnny33156 and me is AMC 5 (79.0W). I have adjusted my 3.5 year old Motek SG2100 and tinkered with the dish elevation...

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but it appears that it was concluded satisfactorily, and my issues are somewhat similar. I apologize in advance if I am stepping on anyone's toes or otherwise irritating anyone by not starting a new thread. That being said, I have a SG2100 motor, an AKSA 22khz...

From which elecard software package? From which elecard software package did you find the codec which works with DVBDream and HD mpeg-4???? Inquiring minds (or is that DVB PC genpix card users) need to know.

Other TPs on that bird, what is MPEG 1.5? Pete, thanks for that information. I have a 1m Winegard and was looking to test whether I can get any C-Band feeds with it. Do you know what the MPEG 1.5 standard is that appears on other TPs on Anik F1R??? Is this an open protocol (not sure what to...

Adapter solely for GEOSat Dishes??? Saw the following on SatelliteAV.Com's Website: _______________________________________________ C-Band LNBF Adapter Suggested Retail Price $20.00 New Design Mount C-Band LNBFs on a 1.2 or 1.8 Meter Offset Dish! Now you can view C-Band...

Hi neighbor, good to see you still around Hi there, I may be in the market for an LCD or Plasma soon myself. It was my better half's idea, and who can argue with their wife (oh woe is me). If she wants something, I know I am going to end up with it. Can you picture having to buy a 40"...

Were you installing it while viewing your computer over a television set, or were you viewing everything on a computer monitor? Here's my problem, I do not have a spare computer monitor to use upstairs where my HTPC and Winegard dish are located. So, I had used ProgDVB with my Nexus-S with MS...

SDX Files with AltDVB if compatible with DVBWorld If you could use AltDVB with this device, then you could import SDX files from your Fortec receiver using SharpC's Channel Master software. Just a thought. greyskies in sunny South Florida

Cascade: Doesn't the PAL vs. NTSC sort of make a significant difference. I recall from my fortec FTA that I could not focus in on signal with PAL setting, had to switch it to NTSC. Information on their website only mentions PAL, not NTSC. When I called them a couple of months ago, they told...

Elgato EyeTV 300 Cascade: The EyeTV caught my attention, however, note that it is PAL, not NTSC. It would be wonderful if you could use it with NTSC programming protocols, rather than PAL. I cannot find anything on their website or elsewhere advising as to whether it can be modified by...

Hi there Pete: Any way of finding out if this will indeed or won't work with Circular Ku-Band? If not, whether they have another version in the pipeline that will? greyskies in sunny (soggy) South Florida

Are these USB units Unix/Posix Compatible? Pete: Are these units unix/posix compatible? Curious whether these would work with either Mac OSX or various Linux Distributions? Do you have any information which would shed light on this? greyskies in sunny (slightly rainy) South Florida
