    Only true south

    Now this is odd, I can only get my true south satellite and nothing more. Its not really my true south (since 74W is gone I am talking about AMC6 72). I even bumped the elevation a little and it didn't help. My setup is Primestar 84E SG2100 Coolsat5K and Prof7500

    Installation question

    Hello, ever since getting into KU I want to go bigger and get a C band dish. The problem is, I live in an apartment building I know they do not care if I put up a C band dish. I noticed that Galaxy-Marketing still has the 6FT WS1870P still for $69. I would like to buy that dish and try to hook...

    LNB placement

    So I have a primestar 84E dish and my lnb is invacom QPH031. No I have read that the 84E should be only used with its original lnb. I do have that lnb it works fine, but it doesnt get all the channels. I know if I use a multi switch I can get both V and H signals. But I just want to use my...

    Wiring Help

    I think my wiring is slowly dying. For the past few weeks when I turn on my receiver the signal and quality level will be from 4-8. I thought maybe it was my Lnb. So yesterday the lnb was frozen I took it off from the roof, hooked it up directly to the Coolsat7100 and my level was at 85. I...

    Well this is odd

    So I scanned in an SD feed. It even scans in as Service 2 SD, yet when I go to that channel on my Coolsat 5000 its scrambled. I do not want to post the feed here, but if you go blind scan 91 West right now you will find it. The FQ isn't an HD one either.

    Primestar dish and Invacom LNB

    I hooked up my dish but I want to use my Invacom lnb and not the original primestar lnb. The primestar lnb is the one with 2 ports on it one V and one H. But I think that lnb is on the outs. Because I do get good signal on it then all of a sudden the signal will drop from 75 to 4. When my...

    Primestar 84E dish and SG2100 motor

    I have done some searching on how to install a 84E dish to the Sg2100. I did the install this evening and its all hooked up. But my issue is the elevation I do not know how to set it. The way I hooked up the dish was I took off the original elevation bracket off the 84E dish. I put a piece of...

    Coolsat 7000 micro pvr

    So I just got this receiver on Saturday. I got it for cheap at the flea market, I got it for $5. I only really got it because of the pvr. I already have a coolsat 5000 and this 7000 box is way different than my trusty 5000. I found the firmware on this site. The box had hacker software on it so...

    So I finally got one!

    A free satellite dish that is!. Its a channelmaster 84E dish. I have seen this dish for years, I was walking home today and I saw the dish on the floor and I asked them if they weren't using it anymore they said no. I asked if I can have it they said yes. Even though I only had to walk 1 block...

    Low lnb signal level

    Does anyone know why my QPH-31 is reading low all of a sudden? The signal level is reading in the 68-72% range. Since its low I cannot scan in any channels. Everything was working fine a few days ago. The only changes I made was I tweaked the dish via diseq1.2 move fine feature because I wanted...

    Fortec elevation

    I have a 36in Fortec dish. Now I know that the elevation on these fortec's can be off by 5-7 degrees. So all day I was playing with the elevation and a few times I would be able to get my true south locked on(74W ONN). The picture on my coolsat 5000 came on ok with 68quality. Then I would move...

    Need some help with lnb

    So last week I had my satellite dish hooked up and everything was working. That dish was a 31in motorized sg 2100 with a qph-031 invacom quad lnb. I was tracking the arc everything was fine. I sold that dish and put up my Fortec 36in dish I was thinking since that was a bigger dish I would have...

    Feeds on 74W

    I am pretty new and hunting for feeds. So I would like to know how many feeds are there on 74w? Before I started blind scanning I always thought there was a lot of feeds. But most of the feeds I find are on other satellites. Thanks

    coolsat 5000 blind scanning

    I have a question. Why when I scan with my coolsat 5000 at times it will take around 10 minutes to scan 97W. Then other times I try to re blind scan and it goes to 100% in less than two minutes and of course it doesn't find anything?

    A true south question

    I asked this over at sadoun forums but didn't get any response. So I figured I should ask here. Since I cannot find anyone in NYC to install my motor onto the dish. I was wondering could I just install the motor and point the dish to 74west(my true south) and I will be done?

    No quality help

    Ok so I had my motorized dish remounted because trees were in the way. So when they remounted everything they the installers couldn't get any quality. They tried 2 different sat meters as well. Pole is plumb as well. We even tried two different lnbs. All we get is signal but no signal quality...

    Another true sat question

    I have been reading that when hooking up a motor its best to use your true south. So my true south is 73.8 longtitude so I will just round up that I should choose satellite 74w. Horizions 2. But then I was reading on another site and they For example for New York City, the true south will be...

    Satellite pole

    I think my pole that holds the dish is no good. For the life of me I cannot get the pole plumb. I can move the pole up with my hand, I used to be able to move it down but since I put on a new screw on the bottom that fixed that. I even put a new long screw in the middle of the pole and it can...

    Motor bracket question

    I have a sg-2100 motor. Today I had it installed, and I noticed on the elevation bracket there is two sides. One is elevation the other is latitude. Now my elevation is 40 and I put it to that side on the bracket. But on the side is latitude now isnt that the same as elevation?

    Power Drill

    Does anyone know what kind of power drill I can use to install the satellite dish. I bought a 12volt drill and 5/16 bit but it didn't drill through the red brick. I read on Sadoun's site that you would need a Drill and 7/16 5/16 bit. Then I spoke with someone at homedepot and they said I would...

    satellite dish not tight

    I have a problem I was trying to move the dish to hook up the motor but I couldn't. So when I rehooked up the dish I tighten all the bolts but now its not tight and the dish moved up down left and right. So I have no quality what did I do wrong?

    A question for Sadoun

    I bought a 90cm dish and company where I bought it from apparently they buy in bulk from Sadoun. Because on the back of the dish it shows a Sadoun sticker. So I had an installer come by but he couldn't get the motor on. He says the 3rd bracket I need is supposed to come with the dish and when I...
