I used to watch DW in German on I34 55,W; since some time I can get the signal but without video and audio. Am I alone ? I saw somewhere that that Information for America: The satellite transmission via Intelsat 34 - aimed at our partner stations for DW Deutsch+ and DW Español - will be...

Just a follow-up. I ordered the Roton brass nut, cost 30$ as already know, but the delivery (in USA) was 20$ (Ouch!). Finally I found this week a local shop to complete the process. I followed the suggestion from Snofly (Initial thread by Lone Gunman, March 2010) : .... Do not cut the outside...

If the grease application is a one time one, then the bronze nut is more attractive. Some years back, I have dismantled the actuator and applied Lucas X-TRA Heavy Duty Grease to the shaft; I have just to renew my application, if I understand correctly. Mike

Thanks again for your time wvman! Hobbysat have not the piece (brass or nylon). Waiting for Scott response. I am also considering the brass nut (Roton, referred by Lone Gunman); the cost is 30,77$ and the delivery charge is 13$, so total 43,77$. If that was an Oilite nut I would not hesitate...

I finally got a response from my contact at Weise (Scott Albright); he tells me that they still have some of these nuts, 19.95$ each. He must check for the UPS charge for the good dellvered in the USA (my sister). I also contacted hobbysat.ca as they advertise the acme nut for 19.95$ (nylon) and...

Thanks for your time, wvman! Meanwhile I try to get info on the Von Weise site. When I get to the first page of Index, Gearmotor, Gear Motor, Gears, Linear Actuators, Actuators Motorreductores, transmisiones, actuadores lineales, Motores DC, Motores AC, Gear Reducer, DC Motor, PMDC Motor I see...

Thanks, I will study it with care. Mike

I'll take your offer wvman!, if ever you find one in your shop; if so, just PM me. What is the right procedure to remove the old one ? You seem to be pretty knowledgeable, which I am not :( Mike

I have to replace the acme nut (V6-202) on my Von Weise actuator V76-5. Any info how to get the piece and replace it ? Thanks for your time, Mike

That is the one I got when I installed my XTI-10 in 1994. See my avatar.

The last time that I scanned SES1 I got without difficulties Decades, Heroes, Heroes ALT (Q70%), but no MyTV. I had to play with the skew to get the signals, getting around Q63%. You might try to do the same. Mike

Is the Western Digital MyPassport Ultra USB3.0 2 To (model WDBMWV0020BBK) comptatible with the GeoSatPro MicroHD ? I had before a USB2.0 HDD with external power which worked well, but not sure for the self-powered USB3.0; any help would be appreciated. Happy New Year to all (yes I know, a bit...

Just found this morning the MicroHD box, with the composite cable. :)

That should be good; that is what I have, see my avatar. Mike

Yesterday I made a hard reset (disconnect and connect the power cord) of my TV and A/V receiver and MicroHD too (once more) and the signal (video and sound) is here again:). So for now, all is working OK. Meanwhile I will continue searching for my component cable of the MicroHD, just to be...
