Yes, but be sure they are rated at least 50v

Typically, if needed, the capacitor is placed between the two motor wires in the actuator. I've seen it either soldered at the motor or connected between the screws on the actuator's terminal strip. Have used a torroid 240, type 43 at the actuator and wrapped the control wire bundle around the...

Good catch! The manual was last updated over 10 years ago and no one noted this typo. 0.1 µF, 50 volt would be a good starting value.

The HH120 has a 55mm post suitable for larger dish bracket mounts. The SG2100 was available in two sizes, 42mm and 55mm. In my experience the HH120 has provided better reliability, less slop in the backlash (manual adjustment) and has a much heavier gauge bracket. The Stab motors require a...

Why not assign one of your current receivers to position the dish controller using DiSEqC 1.2 or USALS commands? Maybe network into the Edision or other similar STB?? )I also used TSReader and DVBS PCI / USB device on a PC to remote control using DiSEqC 1.2 and USALS commands. Research Concepts...

It has in the past....

This is how I display streamed content from the Samsung phone (or generic tablet) to the TV. www.amazon.com/Anker-Aluminum-Pixelbook-Compatible-Thunderbolt/dp/B07THJGZ9Z A few years ago, sideloaded a 3rd party generic streaming app on the Samsung 4K TV and was able to watch content directly...

Up until last year, used an old dual core i5 PC running Win 8 and VLC. Also have used an old Android tablet with MX Player or VLC. Als long as you have the codec, no major horsepower to playout the stream.

The GEOSATpro DVR1100c, DSR100c, DSR200c and microHD used the same remote. Later models kept the same key codes, but changed layout and design. Bet that Satellite AV still has NOS units for sale.

OK.... That's just crazy! I thought $500 USD was high!

Possibly fractionally? I think that claim was made by the brands that only offered leg support designs.... LOL!

Hands down, prefer a well constructed buttonhook design over a 3 or 4 leg support. Optimizing the FD and FL is a breeze with a buttonhook... Not so much with 3 or 4 leg supports and shims. Always carried several cans of penetrating oil and added many buttonhook guy wires to customers BUDs over...

Another option is to use "One Cable" solution LNBFs and switches if your receivers support the LO / polarity "one cable" (band stacking setting.

A few members on www.satellites.co.uk forum have done a lot of SWM hacking mods. Might be a good resource for your project.

The VU+ Duo supports Unicable (Band Stacking) for typical "one wire" LNBs , but the satellite tuner does not support the IF range of a SWM LNBF for the Ka B-band (250-750 MHz). Maybe the terrestrial input could be used as it covers the lower input frequency range. The lower IF range is not an...
