Well, for one thing, you have Galaxy 16 at 99W, and SES 1 at 101W between the satellites you mentioned. Also, do you use Lyngsat.com for information?

X2-Don't know what's up I just got my X2 this afternoon. It powers up, but no video- not on HDMI, not on composite. The remote is functioning, it powers it on and off, but otherwise just blue screen. Any ideas? EDIT- Forget it - it suddenly broke thru on HDMI- this could be interesting...

I'm in Arizona, and I get a solid 70% Q with my 7.5 Echostar and my S9. I watch CBC daily, and enjoy the heck out of it!

Solid 70-75% here in Central Arizona with a 7.5

Thank you very much! I'll let you know about the firmware, I don't have the receiver in my grubby little hands yet; don't know what's in it. BCCPhotec in Black Canyon City, AZ

Does anybody know where I can (successfully) download a manual for a Neusat SP-6000? (not Premium) I've tried on some of these other sites out there, but they come up empty or corrupted. Jim H. in Black Canyon City, AZ

Solid 82 here in central AZ...

Wow, that will be too cool (sat). Now I just have to wait for that adapter to get here. BTW - I was born in St. Paul, grew up in White Bear Lake. I moved to AZ in '84. I've been into BUD since '85. Actually did service and install back in the early '90's. Got into FTA back before I joined this...

Thanks much for the info. One more quick question; this new firmware just expands the audio PID to 5 digits- I still have to more or less manually figure it out?

Yeah, it's version 1.0, so the update is needed. However, next problem; I got that receiver used, had no data cable with it. I got a USB to RS232 cable off ebay, but, as you know, the receiver is male, but so is the cable. 1. If I get a double female RS232 adapter, will this do the job? 2...

Coolsat 5000-Sonic Voom problem I just got my Sonic Voom today. I've tried running both the coaxial and optical lines (yes,I did take the little covers off) hit PBS and America One and This, and I"m still getting nothing. Is there a firmware update I need to do on the 5000 to make this work? Or...

I was given an old single LNB DishNet dish that I'd like to fiddle with. I have a Coolsat 5000. The LO for that is 11250? I know it's circular pol. What would my LNB type setting be? Any other tips would be greatly appreciated! Jim H. in Black Canyon City, AZ

Lets see here; I'll tell you what I've got here, since I've tried multiple different combos. The Coship has a default Univ. LNB setting with the LOs at 9750/10600. Has a 0/12/none volt switch, a 0/22/none khz tone switch, a DiSEqC switch which I know does not apply in this situation (yet),and a...

I've been with BUD since 1985, installing part of this time. Picked up this Coship about 3 years ago. Works great with C band, but haven't tried KU due to faulty co-rotor. I picked up an Echostar .75 offset with a .4 univ. LNBF. My main aim is to get the Equity channels on G 10. I know I have...

Where to start? (first question,dummy) Uh...right,OK! The "1.9 db" figure is comparable to the "noise temp." figure on a c band LNB, again with the lower number generally performing better. The latest LNBs available are ranging in the .3 to .6 range, so yours is quite dated. The "59" figure is...
