    Invacom QPH-031 and HH motor? help

    Thanks Thanks for all for the encouragement and help. I'm clearer on the Invacom configuring process and have had success receiving signals. Hummmmmm! Now I just have to figure out how to add a satellite. NDFEdit will be my first approach. Thanks again. :)

    Now what!

    Now What! Replay Iceberg, Thanks. Am I safe in assuming that the card somehow connects directly with/into the CoolSat 4000 Pro. GlobeCast was advertising "I had to buy their receiver. Any thoughts? mdom

    Now what!

    I have a CoolSat 4000 Pro with linear LNB, 39" dish and HH90 mount. All works fine. I'm still learning. My wife asked me: "How do we watch the "$" channels?" How do I go about subscribing or purchasing a card? I trust this question isn't too far out of the FTA league. Thanks. mdom

    Can't find any satellite

    Alright, I'm starting to reach my limits here. I seem to be missing something here - especially at the dish to motor interface. 1. The metal mast is verticle. 2. I have located "true south" via time and location. 3. Found 105 satellite w. 4. Signal and quality are pegged for the 105 W...

    Can't find any satellite

    PSB, is there a difference between dish and motor elevation. Am I to always keep my motor elevation set to my latitude or is that flexible. Could my dish elevation be varied too? I think I'm headed into a BIG can worms.... I'll keep the motor elevation set and simply vary the dish elevation...

    Can't find any satellite

    OK PSB, I have a question or two about your response on my having to fine my south satellite when moving my setup from fixed to motorized. You say "The motor should be at the ZERO position, never move it until you refind your true south satellite again!" Should the motor ZERO position remain...

    Can't find any satellite

    OK, I beleive I follow you this far. However, without my dish mounted to the motor, I will have to remove the dish from the vertical mast and mount it to the motor mount on the same vertical mast. (Hopefully the motor will point "true south"). Doesn't this "break configuration" so to speak...

    Can't find any satellite

    Fantastic, With no motor I found my "south" satellite. Thanks. Now you say "store it" how, and where? Also, don't I have to move the dish to mount it to the motor? Aren't my locations lost? Ohhhh, since my physical location is unchanged ... Please help me through the next phase...
