Okay, it was the firmware, near as I can tell. I tried many different versions of firmware that I found on various sites. Some actually moved the dish, but didn't have audio. Others just didn't move the dish. Until I go my hands on one named HDS2_America.abs (actually version...

Thanks Chichwalla. Took a while to find, but I found the file you referred to. Menu is more like the older SatHawk file, but with a fruity looking white unicorn in the background. At any rate, Deleted all the Euro Sats and manually added G19. Success! Now, is there a way to import the sat list I...

Okay, so finally got the SatHawk in. When the Pansat 9200 Died, the dish was at 101W. I unhooked the Pansat, hooked up the SatHawk making sure to connect the power last and turned her on. First thing, upgraded the firmware with the latest from Sadoun (June 2010). Next, went to the Sat list...

Okay, so first off we have to know that you bought the right antenna for your location. Just so you know, there is no such thing as an HDTV antenna or a digital antenna or any of those other marketing terms they use. I live quite a ways (~50 mi) from the broadcast towers in my area and I don't...

Thanks Satellite AV.

Thanks for the help, Carlos. I doubt it's a power supply issue. I checked the voltage on it and all seemed fine. I do have a question about changing receivers. My dish is not currently at the 0 position and I can't turn it back to 0 using my current receiver. Do I need to have it at the 0...

My Pansat 9200HD bit the dust on New Years Day. After doing a blind scan and Menu out to a new channel, the unit became unresponsive to anything. After multiple reboot attempts and even trying a reflash of the firmware, it was evident that the unit would not live to see another day. All the LEDs...

My Pansat 9200HD Broke on New Year's Day, so I am unable to comment on current reception. I did find this though: TV POOL US Best of Luck, Wes

So while I was out at Fry's yesterday, I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to pick up an external drive so I could start recording with my 9200HD. Silly me forgot that the 9200HD takes an eSATA; not USB 2.0. So the question is does anyone know if I could use a USB to eSATA adapter...

Who makes the OpenBox? I can't seem to find a website. I want to check these out, with information from the producer.

I did not find TGN on 97W when I scanned. I did however find TGN and all the TV Pool channels on 101W.

So, on that note, I'm gona sit back a few days and enjoy my newly erected dish and new found networks. ThisTV was taken away from my OTA setup in November, but RTV is filling the void nicely. :)

Thanks for the insight Radar, I will have to wait until I have another pair of eyes to try out your suggestions. For now, though, here's another data point for you. The other satellite I am immediately interested in is 125W to get PBS. I have been having trouble with this one as well. This...

I looked at that TP and got 0 for quality on the 83 TP's but 50-60 on the 85W TP. So I decided that since all the other sats have been working alright, I just went into the menu and changed it to 82W and moved the motor. Wham! TuffTV at 84%, RTV at 80%, the test card at 99%. So, I don't know if...

Take a look at the power supply and see if you can see any bulging caps. I had this problem with my Samsung TV (not under warranty). Luckily three capacitors were the obvious problem, so repair cost me $10 and half an hour of my life.

This time: 1. 11775 H 4232 (no channels) 2. 12182 H 3978 (no channels) 3. 12059 V 29270 (no channels) From previous Smart Scan: 1. 12181 H 3978 (AMC16 TP 24 color bars)

Yep, I am using USALS. And actually, AMC9 was not in my list, so it is one that I added and I have double checked that I put it in as 83W. I was able to get four channels on this one. Three color bars and a news feed. All shown on lyngsat as being 72W. So, yep I hit 72, but should I be getting...

I scanned 11735 H 4.444 Msps (is the 4444 the SR?) with no luck. I don't know what's up. I guess I'll try scanning all the feed TP's listed on lyngsat.

Okay, finally got aligned yesterday and started pulling in channels and adding sats to my sat list. Everything worked fine until I got to AMC 9. All the other sats were right when I typed in the coordinates and did a blind scan, but when I put in 83W and scanned I got only one TP for AMC 16 (TP...

You mount the elevation bracket upside down on the dish you just received!

Got it this time! Reconfigured the dish as mentioned and did a whole bunch of aiming. Ended up on the wrong satellite a couple of times before finally getting Galaxy 19 in. I have found that I am unable to get better than ~80% Signal Strength and ~40-80% Quality (but everything above 30% comes...

Thanks for the quick reply and all the info. Armed with this, I will attempt this again, and hopefully succeed this time.

Okay, after doing more reading, I am positive that I have the motor mount set up correctly. It was confusing because there are two scaled slots on each side, one above the other, but I am fairly certain I can only one scale with the motor that I have. The users manual makes no mention of this...

Thanks for the photo! That helps out a lot. I'll have to take it back down and reconfigure it like that. So, I am seeing in this photo that the elevation Bracket is not adjustable with the motor in the post, so I will have to adjust the elevation on the motor, right?

Okay, just got back from Thailand. Putting the dish and motor units together, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to mount the Geosatpro 90cm dish on the SG9120B motor unit. Neither set of instructions addresses mounting the dish to a motor. Help would be greatly appreciated.
