I want to win an Edision OS Mio 4k with The North America Project image. I have been looking for a new receiver that is better quality than a lot of the cheap ones sold on a well known auction site...

I did that very thing when I sealed it up last night. :-)

Thanks for the information. I guess I will see if STAB ever responds. In the meantime, I decided to try to fix it myself. I had an ant colony living in it, and they ate the paper on the ribbon cable and corroded the F-connector that goes to the receiver. I spent some time last night and...

Thanks for the reply! I messaged STAB from their website and got no response. I have read elsewhere that I shouldn't expect much from them directly. I was hoping someone knew of a US parts supplier. I've been watching satellite group classifieds and online auction sites, and there is not much...

Do any of you know if parts are available for STAB HH120 or DMS SG6100 motors? If so, from where? I need a new main PCB for the STAB and gears for the SG6100. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for all of the info/advice. The links to the motorized larger dishes are great! I may be crazy, but I think I am going to try the 1.2m on the SG6100. If it eats itself, I can always use the control boards to modify a heavier non-USALS motor. I have a ton of BUD receivers, dishes...

Does anyone have a Channel Master 1.2m on a USALS dish mover? If so, which one and how does it do? I tried searching previous posts but came up empty. I have an old Channel Master Primestar dish (the bigger one?) on an SG6100, and it has the same size pole mount as the 1.2m, so I am tempted...

Thanks for all the advise. I finally had a chance to reset the motor this weekend, and as soon as I brought it to the 0 mark, the receiver sent the dish to the correct position. This makes me wonder if it was an issue with the 0 position microswitch (as suggested by rsa2000), and somehow it...

Thanks for the quick responses! I will try this when I get off work tonight.

I have been using an SG6100 for over a year now with an old Primestar dish. A few times during this period it has refused to move, but unplugging the power to the dish usually seems to fix it. This morning it once again wouldn't move (seems to happen when the temp gets below 20F), so I...

I tried that, but it didn't make a difference. Boot Looped! However, Ali Editor does work for fixing the boot loop.

I think I read every post about boot looping I could find... I wired up a little USB to TTL cable, and I have used it more on this thing in the past day than all of the other serial cables on all of the other FTA receivers I have every played with. In the end, it seems to be a problem with the...

I thought I replied to post #14 of this thread. The one about entering PID's for the Muzak channels on AMC1 into the MicroHD. The post was so long I didn't want to quote it... Sorry for the confusing post.

I have tried this procedure for the Micro HD twice now, and both times I have boot looped it. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? I am using the Ali Editor.
