I just picked up a 6ft Wingard like the above one. I am drooling at the condition of these dishes you found. Mine has chipped paint and some hail dings. If you get approval, swipe 'em both!

Did I miss something, ICE? Can you tell us where you purchased your Q? I would like to buy one, but want to buy from reputable dealer.

Gabshere, I should have mentioned that our current controllers do have rs485 links on them. I think that Lantronix device might be just what I need. That SRC4 page you have is way more updated than the one I found. Maybe it is still available. That would be preferable because of its GUI...

I would give that an A for creativity and of course functionality because I think that would work using VNC to the computer. But I need something more commercial grade. Money is no option in this case. How often do you hear that? : ) There was a UK company I found that had some sort of...

Ok guys. Here is one for you all. I am seeking a positioner box for a polar mount actuator that can be controlled via a network connection, or could be connected to a computer, where I could network into that PC and command the positioner that way. The LNB feeds are sent over fiber to...

Merc II for me please... Tried and true blind scan functionality. Thank you.

Make sure you include in your presentation the new crappy Mystro software they are moving to as they are dumping Passport and SARA. It sucks right now, but I am hopeful some updates in the future could tweak its look and feel. Runs on the new cable card equipped OCAP boxes.

The brand new OCAP HD 4250HDC has HDMI output without having to have the DVR. It is one of the new boxes with the cable cards in them using the new Mystro software. That is the only non-dvr with HDMI.

I agree. There is zero hope for Tivo software for TWC. With the move to SDV and other services which require Mystro OCAP software, and the money already spent to develop it, it is very unlikely. Get the new Tivo S3 "lite" unit that I heard they are going to make and get you some cable cards and...

If it is the new Mystro Navigator software that looks like it was designed by Atari in the 1980's, get used to it. That is what all divisions are moving to. It is the crap software that was developed in-house by TW. It is completely worthless and totally underdeveloped. It is also OCAP based...

I did in fact peak the signal - dragged my 13" TV and receiver out behind my house to my dish and made adjustments for about 20-30 minutes until I peaked at the numbers described. I have not been around this site in awhile, but must say it is nice to see people keeping the ole Primestars...

Those boxes are definitely a piece of satellite industry history, but as Ice already said, because they were the first flavor of DigiCipher, they are pretty much doorstops now.

SBG Rant Coming Right Up! Just another example of the greedy bastards at Sinclair holding consumers hostage. I hope Mediacom gives them the bird and cuts it. But unfortunatley, SBG is linking 22 Sinclair controlled stations across multiple markets for ransom. There will be a deal at the last...

Just your standard run-of-the-mill 2 3/8" galvanized fence post from the ole Home Depot. : )

I feel that the clamp is doing just fine. I only used one, but I also bashed the other end of the pole with a hammer so it is not round, but flat on one side. I did not think it was worth the effort to try drilling a hole and running a rod through it. I know it has been in the ground only 2...

Those frequencies are for your specific system. Not all TWC systems run RR on those frequencies. Mine is 35 to 55mhz ranged on return and 651 down. Another one I have seen uses 621 down. Not huge differences there, but 711 to 651 certainly is in this case. Also, remember, the OP I believe is...

I too would like to know how far west anyone has been on KU. Here in Ohio, I am able to hit Hispasat 1c/1d at 30W. That is using usals. I havn't tried going lower with 1.2.

Thanks. I agree on the pvc. That is why I ran it all the way up the pole and at the box. Not only have I hit cables before with the weedeater, but it keeps my dogs from messing with it. Kinda hard to see, but I did run 2 quadshield underground feeds from the dish. Just in case another dish pops...

Well, obviously I have not had my setup but a few days, but I would recommend the stab100. It is a very strong motor to handle the weight of a Primestar without any modification. Well, besides using some PVC pipe around the motor shaft to get the Primestar mount to fit right on. Very easy.

Nothing wrong with this, J. I for one would love to be able to find this feed myself. Blast from the past. : ) Someone mentioned it was analog still, so I need to get my analog KU slaved to my Fortec.

Never noticed the bug! But thanks for complimenting my old digital camera! : ) I took the post hole photo to note the ubolt I bolted to the pole about 10 inches up to help keep it from turning. I also bashed in the bottom of the pole with a hammer. Thanks for the comment on the...

Well, the project was finally completed this week. It is important to note that without the help and knowledge provided from so many people right here at SatGuys, this project would never have happend. So, thanks to everyone who has answered my many questions for the past, well, almost 2 years...

Thanks Pete for the quick reply. I will certainly try that fix instead of pulling my hair out. Thanks much.

I have only now noticed this problem because I just completed my pole mount/motor/dish install and have been messing with it all day. I have several sats programmed in and scanned with channels. All I have is a motor with a Primestar dish with the original standard lnb on it. Nothing else. Why...

It will be some time before Adelphia systems are converted to the TWC billing/control system. That system is complicated in my opinion. And until then, TWC does not have simple control of the boxes, authorization, billing, etc. of Adelphia systems. Remember, they are running TWO separate, and...
