Check how easily the part in the feed turns. (that which the servo moves)

First thing I'd do is Verify operation, Run direct to each dish, with each receiver. Then add just the switch. Then an LNB, then another.etc. Might find a certain combination that has issues. Maybe moving the fixed 103 C-band to another (spare) port? Might be the diseqc switch 'leaks' from...

They're getting rid of the three I watch most. good thing is I have 'alternate means' of receiving them. Can't see the need for HD when all the content, except some commercials, is 4:3 aspect. And the video quality of BEK Prime, which pre-empts COZI from time to time, has video quality of a...

Before replacing the servo. I'd first remove the feed and look down the throat and see if the probe moves the required 90 degrees (when selecting between H and V). If not 90, but it does move, try adjusting the skew for a 90 degree change. If it's not consistent, Or jumps about somewhat, most...

Heard a blirb on the 6:00 news on 'DAZ. Coming soon. No date mentioned. Will have to see what exactly is covered. As some times there's not much to report on to 'fill' the 10:00. (But not lately with all the storms and accompanying damage)

W.U.T. would be my guess. (??)

1 - check for excessive play in the actuator action. Push/ pull the dish trying to extend the actuator, and pull to retract. Any movement of the actuator inner tube? (My almost 30 yr old Von Weisse has this somewhat) 2 - Open the actuator and watch the magnet wheel. Does it get closer to the...

Well, it took a few years to get a red flag notice of a post, so I responded. So. what's up with that??? (That's ALL I looked at earlier) Hey, just realized, I wasn't a member in '06, now I'm a bit confused. In, or about, 06 I just started following as a 'guest'. Joined in '10.

AntAltMike, If you're running Windows (ANY Version) Quicktime Media Player, Remove it, READ THIS Install VLC from videolan (the switchblade of media players) I've used it like forever, it's my default player for all media on both Windows and Linux)

Don't think the software version will effect readings, but incorrect TP info will. Should be able to change an existing TP. 12152 H 20000 is one to look for. Also make sure the L.O. matches what's on the LNBF. Your LNBF skew should be, top of LNBF, twisted to the west 20° Looking at the dish...

30W is only 6.4 degrees elevation here. I went 'sidewinder' fashion when I had the 1.2m on it. Now have a .7m inverted on 30W

I'd say there are shorted turns in that "HOT" transformer. As long as it's got the voltages, and physically fits, KE4EST's transformer will most likely work. Once it's operating again, I'd monitor the output voltage and current while running the actuator all the way across the arc. Should be...

If the transformers internal thermal fuse is blowing, sometimes without taking the mains fuse, more than likely the culprit is a shorted turn or two in the transformer. Shorted turns = high amps and heat. A long time ago, I had this happen and had no direct replacement. I put a voltage...

Let the following help make what the 'deal' should be. I'd like: FREE. Let's see,, 900m@17mpg=52gal of gas. or ~$105 to $140. 1 night@$55 to $95 per. Food and bev ~$ 50(just a guess at the $/gal and lodging rates along the route) Seems a lot less then what they cost BITD. They were a...

LNBF for a prime focus dish http://www.satelliteav.com/p/shop/?ws_pid=665&ws_cat=433 Don't know of another source for Prime focus LNBF's. For MAX Performance use a Ku OMT fitted to a prime focus scalar (Hard to find CONUS & usually $$$) with two LNB's with a multiswitch. But other options are...

I've got C and Ky on one dish. But not in the conventional way. How I made a C BUD work on Ku Some are able to use a BUD on C and Ku but it takes a BUD that's really designed for it, with small holes in the mesh or, preferably, solid or perforated metal. If you want to move your BUD from one...

Looks like most were nothing but rust in the first place. Maybe just crushing to send to smelter to make new ones? I kinda doubt it, but who knows. Let's send 'em plans for a Fresnel just in case.

I've used anything battery wise that are 12 to 28 volts. Marine, car, portable drill, whatever is 'handy'. Sure , they're slow with only 12 volts, but it gets the job done. Couple of time even wired two 12 volt batteries in series for 24 volts. Note, they may draw more than normal current at...

Why can't I be so lucky??? I don't think there's an HtoH mount within many hundred miles. Reason, My Von Weiss actuator is starting to show it's age. That would be 30 next month. Looks like the only thing to do with that HtoH mount is soak the chain in oil for a day. That's so minor it makes me...

Before all that, try deleting the transponder, Cycle the power on the receiver, (with it off for a minute or two) and then try a blind scan or add the transponder manually and do a transponder scan on it. Could be just scrambled data in the receiver. EDIT: :welcome to Satelliteguys

That's not a mesh dish, as you mention in a previous post, Or is this a different dish altogether? This one is a perforated. As in Paraclipse Perf(orated) Nice Dish, and rescue! HtoH mount to boot! Double Nice.

My best guess is at 55W the Uniden was operating in the 'reverse polarity mode" or more likely, the servo is worn. 'Reverse polarity' is not really applicable today with the digital signals. It was required BITD when there were only 24 'channels' on a satellite. One 'this satellite'...
