What I found is the motor is off 1/10th of a degree for every degree you tell it to move from 0 (zero position). So my south sat is 95W, tell the motor to go to G18 @ 123W the motor actually goes to 125.8W. I change G18 location to 120.2W so I can still use USALS.

Sorry to hear that; DJ Rob. Those people don;t have a clue? Or don't care! Anybody know of a direct contact with Motech..

DJ Rob What you are seeing is correct. In this new motor zero position cannot be lost like the older sg2100s. They have mounted the zero position sensor in the center of the big gear. On the movement problem, when you manually move the dish in diseqc mode the controller pcb records the...

Same problem here also, DMSI digipower sg2100. I have had mulptiple problems with both the hardware and the circuit board inside. (2 months old) I found a thread that says there is a bunch of motors with bad magnets. Its a round magnet on the end of the motor shaft that triggers a hal effect...

Tried about 10 different receivers and settled on the Satpros Dsr500s. Stunning video and great audio. Worst I have tried is the new Sonset DTH6500 am radio audio and poor pal to ntsc conversion. Although it has the fastest blindscan Ive seen, but slow channel scan.

CCTV9 on G3 Thanks for the contest!

Ok badhat, I'll give it a try, only $7-$15. I wasn't even sure if the motor would behave itself using diplexers.

Has anybody used a diplexer with an sg2100 and an OTA? I found an Eagle Aspen D2200A thats rated a 2amps and should handle the motor.

Just finished trying the latest Kbox editor V1.06. Works very well and is an improvement over version 1.0. Look for Set_Editor_V106.exe .

Update Found an editor that works very well. Its K-edit.exe for the KBox fta receiver. Give it a try.:D

Thanks for the input jayelem. Thought maybe I was chasing a ghost. Tele-sat magazine and Dr Dish has some interesting information on the technology.

Been to the web site but no mention of that sat. Suppose I could try the vcr on extended record and see if I can catch something.

Anyone know when to catch programming on this channel, I3r @ 43W?

I had a similar symptoms, after removing the motor - found I had tightened the ubolts too much and compressed the pipe. At the time I was using galvanized 16ga fence post. Bought a piece of 2" schedule 40 steel pipe, working good. Rigid 2' conduit is also a good choice and about the same price.

Good Ideas, Folks Yeah I was going for the neat look, the setup is in a highly visible location.
