    Nimiq 4 going in service is a good thing for Eastern Arc?

    Dish installer told me everything would be moved from 61.5 to 118 at some time in the future, so that one dish with pick up all their programing.

    DVB Dream Question

    The ten byte commands did work for me in the past on a Twinhan. But they have to be calculated for your lat long. The 8 byte commands are simpler Here are the eight byte commands. Sg2100 Raw Diseqc commands (From SS2Diseqc1.9) Save position 1 = E0 31 6A 01 Save position 2 = E0 31 6A 02...

    LOS expert's statement needed for HOA dispute.

    There are two 30 foot tall palm trees on the South side of my back yard. I could not get any Line Of Sight (LOS) for any satellites between 61 and 101. So I installed a T90 on the South side of the house, which worked perfectly. Now the Home Owner's Association wants to enforce the rule that...

    LNBF Focus Adjustment

    Either you are very good at setting up a motorized dish on the first attempt or you do not realize that setup takes a lot of access.

    SG2100 Insertion loss

    You should do the external power supply modification for the SG2100, if you have the motor that far disassembled.

    Digipower SG2100 DMSI SUPPORT

    USAL calculates a motor angle based on your lat and long and then sends a command to move to that motor angle. To verify USAL, use a program like SS2diseqc1.10 and note whether the motor angle sent by the program is the same as where the motor stops. If the two motor angles agree, then USAL...

    SG2100 H-H motor

    On my SG2100 I accidently sent the diseqc zero command with the software program SSdiseqc1.10 and set the zero at 1.2 degrees. Took me a year to figure out that problem. My opinion "the SG2100 is great", where people run into problems is trying to power the motor with a PCI card. The PCI card...

    LNB Frequency Drifting

    I had a coax cable connector where water entered the cable and coroded the braiding which makes the shielding. I had to cut back the cable 6 inches to find clean braid. My suggestion, replace the cable ends, and only use water proof compression fittings. Another idea. I had a dish very...

    T-90 Elevation angle

    Elevation on the T90 is measured with a protractor resting on the top flat section of the dish mount. But this only works with no skew on the dish. Voomvoom's method is all you need, most everyone is surprise that the dish works when it appears to be looking at the horizon.
