Thank you for the reply. What is the lowest cost subscription that I could get to test this unit? And does it require a two year contract, or could I just subscribe for 1 month? And finally, when I have cancelled service in the past, Dish has asked me to return "their" equipment, even when I...

Whenever I am trying to fix a circuit board I look for dull or grainy looking solder joints, which means that they could be cold solder joints. ... I lost my Edision OS Mio last year. Worked with it for a little while, then got frustrated and snapped the board in half. I think it may have been...

EnoSat, I can record the full TS to a file if you still need it - using my TBS6983. But first I need to find a line of sight to 180E from my backyard and put my 1.2 meter dish there. Maybe Sunday or Monday?
