i installed a pansat900 motor to a 31 inch dish and was wondering how far can this motor be driven without going too far?

i recently added a motorized 31 inch ku dish to my dish collection and am hitting from 72 deg to 129 and noticed something, on t6 dr gene scott tp at times i get 99 pct quality and at others as low as 58 pct. even going east and west doesnt help any. is it normal for some channels or...

hello guys, i just bought a pm900 fta motor and am setting it up on a 31 inch dish with a digiwav universal lnb. i do not have my level, but using quickcrete i tamped the pole into the ground a bit at a time for over 2 hours last night and it looks level to me. i set up the dish and did...

i sell fta in houston and can help you out. send me a pm and i will help you out. it is a great hobby to say the least!

my local fta supplier just got in a huge shipment of pansat motors and they are huge! way bigger than the old hh 90 motors,i was wondering if any of you think this would work with a primestar because of the oval shape? looks like it could take and move a 48 by looking at it. he is selling them...

yeah make a trip to the country and find an old primestar dish, a good cheap receiver is digiwav which at times are less than 100.00 new, you can find and scan t6 and not only find your game, but alot of wild feeds and other games. galaxy 26 or t6 as i call it is my favorite as well as many...

i tried alot to fix it, well i have recently played a bit by attaching lnbs to the arms of the bud for ku band. i will try to get up to 12 lnbs attached hitting sats and use 3 disecq switches. i have 3 lines ran into my bedroom already. i would love to get 87 thru 95 and 101 thru 105, and...

yeah i get a laugh every now and then at my 8 ft and my 40 inch primestar dish, but my response is i bet i get 10* the channels you do! plus more international channels and interesting channels.

well i went out to the dish and had my son pushing west, well the dish was moving small increments, but still said act error, i tried lifting up on the dish but it still wouldnt lock in. is there a certain way to pick or lift it up. i was gonna use my birdog to set up a c/ku and dss bud!

it just hit me! last week the last time i used the dish i had my box on program mode. on the back of my toshiba there is a switch for reg mode and program mode, i had it on program mode and wash using my fta box signal meter to get the best possible alignment. i didnt switch back over to reg...

well that is still better than a aad cable! i would hate to have to rerun 100 total feet of ribbon again since 30 ft is on the house and 70 ft burried! i will try first to set it back by myself,then if i cant i will get my boys to help me. i have to re align it anyways since i bought a birdog.

no sir, the maybe my dog could have chewed the remote or something. it is locked up now, usually when i go too far east i can push west and it will go right back west! at least it isnt the wires out!

weird. i havent used the btd since thursday. went outside and it was aimed far east, actually to the limit, but the dish has been on g3 since thursday, now at about 55 deg! the box even had g3 labeled as the current satellite! so when i get home i will try to set it back up. it might just...

will have to check it later, but got an error for actuator, i check and messed with the back of the box wires and still no fix. bad thing is i have 70 ft buried in the ground! most likely a cut cable because the actuator isnt that old. maybe the dog ate the wire!

yes sir, and i programmed 64 sats on it, every sat 45 deg to 148 for both ku and c band, and still was able to fit in three special sats which i didnt know were even up there, one is amc 2 test, one a gal 10 test, and one sky at 101 test sat, maybe i will try to check those out. every dish...
