    Actuator for BUD

    Up and Running again! Thanks for the input. My repair person put another reed sensor on and I am up and running again. He says I am lucky it was not the wires. Will look for here help the next time. You were right about the two wires. When it was hooked up 14 years ago they used all 3...

    Actuator for BUD

    Model of Actuator The actuator is a Super Jack (Venture-V81074-319827). There does not appear to be any rust when the cover is off. The Jack arm appears to be extended more than usual. When I look inside I see a red, black and a white wire (Small), but the white wire appears to be not...

    Actuator for BUD

    Wires I have two bigger wires for the M1-2 panel and then the one with white, black and red inside for the actuator panel. This has been this way since 1994 when the dish was installed. I keep getting the error message that "dish may be at its limit, check actuator wires". Help! Any...

    Actuator for BUD

    My BUD is locked on one place and will not move. What is the correct wiring (a red wire. a black wire and a white wire) for a Motorola 450i's actuator? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Missing Analog Channels

    According to previous information received, the BEC only controls polarity on the digital channels(the 450i controls the polarity on the analog side).Currently I am only using the C-band side, since I have the Ku channels on the Wineguard and the Pansat 3500S. I had used both sides previously...

    Missing Analog Channels

    Missing Analog Signal Sorry bout the confusion. I guess I should have explained it better. The coax from LNBF goes to the BEC and then one to the 450i and then one to the VCR. The split is after the VCR because of the OTA locals going to the DISH DVR.

    Missing Analog Channels

    Missing Analog Signal I know I am on the right satellite because on the channel I use most G-4, I can get the digital channels perfectly. I tried changing the polarity but nothing happened. No amount of nudging the dish helps.

    Missing Analog Channels

    Missing Analog Signal I have the coax from The 621 running to the 6600+ and the coax to a splitter to the TV and the Dish DVR. Haven't checked on direct to a regular TV, but will do so in AM(It was viewable just before I changed TV's).

    Missing Analog Channels

    Missing Analog Signal Gabshere Yes I got the signals just fine with th BSC 621-2, until I added the Plasma TV. Photoman. The hook up is from BUD to DB6600+ to Plasma through the Analog connection (my local channels are also going through that connection, so I know it works). Yes I can...

    Missing Analog Channels

    I recently hooked up my C-Band and digital setup to an HD Plasma TV. When I try to get the analog channels all I get is snow and then a blue screeen. With the other Tv I would get the analog channel (G4 15-16). I still get the digital channels through my BEC 6600+, but no analogs so it is...

    Locking in CBand Satellite Feed through VCR

    I guess I did not understand because you were not as clear as I would have liked you to be. I hope you treat the next new person to your section of the forum a bit better. You have to remember that some of us have more "Senior Moments" than others and it takes us a bit to understand and...

    Locking in CBand Satellite Feed through VCR

    No need to be nasty. I don't think I am dense, but I do think you are very inhospitable to say the least. I guess that comes with being from central Texas. If you think my questions are nonsense, please refrain from answering them in the future.
