All u guys have been great.....thanx. I won't get to work on this project again till next weekend. I'm mostly interested in getting CBS (which can also be WSEE TV) in my area so if anyone knows which sat gives me that channel free in PR I would appreciate it. Someone mentioned G4, which...

Once I get the dish completely assembled,what do I have to do to start searching for satellites? I read in another thread about finding G1 and to check ch 11 and 12 for horiz and vert and then leaving it on ch 3 for updates but I can't find G1 at the dishpointer website for my area here in...

Surfdevil.....I did what u asked and the counter did move. I then chose another sat and selected "Move Dish to 4931" and the actuator moved and the counter counted for a while this time and then it stopped..... so the actuator is OK.

I guess there's no polarity then so maybe I need to hook up the screen mesh and lnb or could it work without them? My hope is that I can use the 4DTV receiver to find the sats and then I will hook up my sonicview 360 premier to capture the channels I want from that sat.

Earlier in this thread I posted a photo of the Von Weis actuator and tvropro said that the red and white go to M1 and M2 and the orange and green go to Pulse and Gnd which is located just above the M1 and M2 terminal in the back of the receiver. The only thing I haven't done yet is assemble the...

I checked the limits and there set as follows: Dish Pos=4931 East Limit=4239 West Limit=5015 This was set up for 4DTV here in PR so I guess the limits are normal for this area....am I right in assuming this?

Thanx guys for all ur help. I got the actuator working but when I select different satellites it moves a little then stops so I fed 24 volts directly to the actuator and it moves all the way up and then all the way down when I reverse the wires so the actuator is OK. I still haven't mounted the...

Thanx tvropro....I'll let u know how it turns out.

Any idea where those wires connect to the receiver? Looks like the top 2 go to M1 and M2 but the other two I'm not sure.

After checking the link that mike gave me I found out that the cable used in this unit was not original so I decided to take the cover off the actuator and photograph it to make it easier to figure out where those wires go. I made a mistake on the colors of the wires,the colors are...

I have a 4dtv-920 receiver by General Instruments that has no wiring diagram or installation manual. The 10 foot dish has only one coaxial wire coming out of the feedhorn and the actuator uses 4 wires (red,pink,white,green) and its made by Von Weis. The LNBF is made by Astrotel Comm Corp and the...
