I have all three. All execllent. V9 fastest to lock and get picture.

WORKING!!! As I suspected, the problem was in the receiver. As soon as I swapped the box, it worked perfectly. The only other thing I did was reprogram the limits. Anyway thanks for all your help.

When I put it up, there was a monstrous tree that overhung 4 houses. It was simply huge and was two doors down and directly west. So this was the solution. Sure enough, three years later, they cut it down, it took them five days, working all day to get it down. Back in my twenties and thirties...

I wish I still had this one, but I sold it about 12 years ago. Besides, it would not fit between the houses, but I loved it.

I used to tweak the dish by hanging a rope off it and pulling on it from 30 below. It worked and it hash't moved in over 30 years. The dish is 36 feet to the centre, 41 to the top. Never moves.

WOW! Good eye, yes it is a Prodelin solid. Dead solid, never has twitched in 39 years. Only the snow slows me down. I made the column out or 16 inch heavy wall steel tube. At the end I have a schedule 40 pipe box fitted into the square tube (three 1 inch thick plates with a hole in the centre...

Thank you. That is what I thought.

While resetting my KU dish, I found QuetzSat 1 at 77. I scanned and got these signals. My qusetion is how. I have a linear LNB yet these are listed as circular. Is it that their signal is so strong that they are picked up. Would I be able to get other circular signals? Anyone experience this...

It is actually a SM3D12 by Multistar that is a clone of the Stab. I swapped cable (new one I ran just to test). I can move the dish with the east/west keys on teh rec. disec2 screen, but Goto X has no result. Same with changeing sats. So no problem from rec. to dish. Problem is in receiver. I...

Yes, rec to stab to lnb. Going to switch receivers and try.

YOU WERE RIGHT!!. I never noticed the green button changing function. HOWEVER, still no love. Even when I programmed all the sats to USALS, there was still no movement initiated by the box, only by using my MP02 when in USALS mode. I am sure the issue is in the box. I ordered a new box and it...

Not using USALS. The box is a gtmedia v7plus. I cannot find anywhere to enter the lat/long. It worked perfectly with the last box, also a gtmedia v8, also on disec 1.2. I can move the dish with the box's move commands, and with my MP02, but the box will not move by going from one sat to another.

Greetings, I replaced my reciever on my Ku dish. I can move the dish with the onscreen east-west controls in the motor set up screen, I can also move the dish with my MP02 Stab positioner control. I can memorize the position. But the reciever will not move the dish on its own. I am stumped. When...
