The first attempt at rotor support for TVHeadend has been posted to GITHub. This release supports USALS and GOTOX. It even allows both rotor types in series on the same DVB card. Please help us test this for bugs and provide feedback if possible by replying to this thread. Thanks. Below is...

I am happy to report that my 10' BUD and 1m KU are not harmed. I did see this on the local news. Very sad...

I don't have time or help to remove my 10' BUD, what position is best to leave the actuator in? Halfway? Or retracted all the way in?

Location is logical to me.

This might be similar to my problem trying to get the CBS S2 TP's. I think I am tracking the ARC, but having trouble w/ high FEC S2 w/ 10 footer. Is the polarity most likely the problem compared to other settings? If so, I was thinking of trying an old LNB and polarotor. I have a Chaparral...

I get 77% Q on that TP now and can lock it. I guess I don't have to tweak it too much more.

I ventured up on the roof to tweak the azimuth and actuator. I have managed to get the CBS TP's to about 55 to 60 Q steady. However, I still cannot lock them. I have tried with linux and XP with my PROF 7500. I don't have a STB that can do S2. I am now going to try to tweak the feed if...

What would you consider a weaker TP? 9/10 FEC? on what SAT?

I did max out the CW mux on 72W to 100 Q. Does this help to elimate any variables? I have an LNBF - no polarotor.

Another suspicion I have is that I centered the dish at 72W just east of the dish's APEX. But my true south should be 74W - there is nothing on 74W. I guessed at how far to drive the actuator east of off the APEX to peak on 72W. It seems there are too many variables to check for. Is there a...

I would appreciate expert advice with my problem locking High FEC (9/10) TP's on my 10' Mesh. I can receive some TP's on the SAT in question (97W) with 100% Q but they are low FEC. The high FEC TP's bounce from 0 to 70 but don't stay at 70 long. I was given this dish from a house about 5...

I entered 29860 but my app returned the SR of 29999. Not sure why...

This is what my command line application shows for the trouble transponders. Please note how the SNR fluctuates to 0. 4101 H 29999 SIG 88% SNR 39% DVB-S QPSK FEC_AUTO INVAUTO PIL_ON ROL_35 4101 H 29999 SIG 88% SNR 0% DVB-S QPSK FEC_AUTO INVAUTO PIL_ON ROL_35 4101 H 29999 SIG 88%...

I think I am. Can you please verify what settings work for you?

I can view 4:2:2 with mythtv and vlc. I think I have a signal quality problem of some kind rather than software problem. I can't lock the TP with mythtv but I can dump what I receive using a command line application called blindscan-s2.
