I now have the Televes up on the roof about 3 feet from the antenna. From there the coax goes to a 3 way splitter and then into the house in 3 separate locations. It is a new Channelmaster power passing splitter and the preamp works great now. I did replace the RG6 coax from the splitter down to...

Just installed the Televes preamp. When I put it up on the antenna mast I received no channels on any TV in the house. The power LED on the outside unit (mounted on the mast) seemed very dim but I attributed that to the brightness of a sunny day. Out of curiosity I moved the unit inside and...

It's on the antenna mast up on my roof. I had the same thought about overheating. As of now I've ordered and received the Televes unit mentioned above, haven't installed it yet. Will post results when I get it installed.

So I got this preamp and installed it, worked great I thought, my TV saw 88 channels on the initial scan with the preamp, vs. 32 channels without it. The only problem is that it only works for a few hours at a time, then something happens and all channels disappear. Unplugging the preamp doesn't...

I just installed one of these to replace an old Winegard HD8200. This one works just as well and is much less visually intrusive. I'm in San Diego so I get a bunch of Mexican stations in addition to the stations I see listed on rabbitears. I did not buy the UHF or VHF extensions. I am receiving...

I ordered the Mediasonic HW-150PVR from Amazon - should be here today. I've been trying to use an old Samsung SIR-T-451 with a DVI to HDMI adapter - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't - don't know why. The sensitivity is not very good on the Samsung, but the picture is good on the channels...

Anyone know of an ATSC tuner that has a good signal strength display? I just put up an antenna rotator and want to use it to seek out stations that the auto tuning misses. Right now I have one TV that will allow me to input an RF channel number and then display signal strength and quality for...

With the antenna rotated to about 290 degrees I watched Channel 8 all evening last night - not a glitch. I still plan to install the rotator when it arrives - I'd like to experiment a bit with receiving more distant stations. There is an Ion station in Bakersfield that I've seen occasionally...

Here's the TVFOOL report. I rotated the antenna 180 degrees and rescanned - getting pretty much the same channels as before - won't know until after dark whether it helped. I do have a rotator on order but it won't be here until next week. BTW I see I was wrong about Ch 9 being a Mexican...

I recently put up a new antenna and am experiencing a strange problem. In San Diego there are 2 stations on VHF, channels 8 and 10 (plus at least one from Mexico on Channel 9). I have a Winegard 8200 pointed at 105 degrees to pick up UHF stations and the VHF stations are at about 290 degrees so...

Still using mine for OTA - I did have to replace the power supply caps - bought them from Digikey - they have pretty good prices and don't soak you on the shipping. It has a much better EPG display than either of my TV's. I have a MicroHD now for FTA so no longer use that function on the SV.

I've had a Sonicview 8000HD for a couple of years and still use it, but mostly for OTA reception. I use it mainly because I can record with it, using an external USB disk. It also does a better job of displaying the EPG than my TV does. For FTA I now use a microHD like several people have...

Still no joy - tried setting to 10600 and turning 22khz on - no difference - still don't see the 83W channels show up. Tried other combinations also - including the one that should work with this LNBF - Universal 9750/10600 which causes the MicroHD to set the 22khz to "Auto" and gray it out...

I bought one of these - not impressed. First thing that happened was I lost RTV etc. on 83W - just changed back to the old DMX521 and they came back - no change in dish position. I did try moving the Avenger in and out in the clamp - no difference. I also lost some of the other channels I like -...

Yup I did - I'm not a detail guy....

The SatelliteAV website shows the microHD as being available - so I put one in the shopping cart and tried to check out -couldn't get past the "Shipping" tab - every listed shipping method said "Call for Quote". So I called - the recording said I was number one for 8 minutes running - that's 3...

Received the motor back from WSI - they replaced a limit switch and now it seems to work - I just hooked it up to a receiver and used the manual button to move it from one end of its travel to the other. It's now on a shelf as a spare. Took just one day short of a month from the time I first...

Sonicview 8000HD - still using it for both DVB and OTA broadcasts - and still using the DVR capability. Had to replace a few capacitors in the power supply and find the right firmware without the eyepatch features but since doing those things it's been fine.

The RA# email finally showed up last night - one week after I filled out the request. By coincidence the DG380 I had ordered from Sadoun also showed up yesterday. I installed it this morning, took about an hour to get it installed and tracking - works great. The SG9120 is ready to go to the PO...

Well I took all the advice here and called WSI last Monday - the person who answered the phone gave me another number to call and ask for "Tom", a technician. I called that number and spoke with Tom, who agreed that there was a hardware problem and told me to send the motor in for repair. To do...

I've sent 3 emails to every WSI address I could find on their website and haven't received a reply. Anyone know if they're still around? I'm trying to get help with an SG9120B on which the warranty expires in a few weeks.

I think you're right - I bought this just less than a year ago - just sent an email to WSI to get the process started - will post results.

I'm trying to aim my dish using an SG9120B and a Coolsat 5000 and/or a Sonicview 8000HD. Both receivers have worked fine in the past with this motor. The problem I'm having is that the motor will barely move - not even a degree I think. I haven't used this setup for a while and decided to go out...

I was adjusting the dish elevation about a week ago in the usual manner, loosened the 6 bolts that hold that adjustment so that the dish could move but would stay in place when I let go. I must have had them too tight because the shaft broke in two while I was moving the dish. This shaft is made...

Just checked and indeed it is not possible to change the step to anything other than 6000. But you can change the start frequency in increments of 1000 so that lets you scan all the 1 Mhz steps by doing 6 scans. I tried that and it picks up nothing on the UHF scan if the start frequency is...
