    Time for a new receiver

    Koqit K1 (black one with the curved in front). It does move a Ku dish motor without locking up or rebooting randomly in the transit. A little slow, but moved it spot on

    Time for a new receiver

    I must of got real lucky on my X2 box, it had no problems moving a motor with a 33" dish on it. Took right off first time every move. Unless thats what fried it may of moved it one too many times. I ended up getting a cheapo ebay special simply to get by for now since thats all I can spare on...

    Time for a new receiver

    X2 premium finally died after only 2 years. Took it apart and found 4 swollen capacitors in it. Replaced them and still no luck. Has power out of the power board but its gone. I havent even looked at new receivers until now. I dont need anything fancy, just one that will do S2 video, AC3 audio...

    X2 Premium V came today.

    I just bought a premium V and have had it for a few days now. So far I like it Using an SG-9120B motor and an azura shine 33x36 dish, I have not had any issues with the receiver rebooting from moving the dish around. It does seem to move somewhat slower then what it used to be, but so far it...

    The originals were 10V 470uf, replaced with 16V 470uf. When trying to resolder them since it had some play one of the metal "hole" inserts came out of the pcb. Soon as I seen that I knew it was over

    GEOSATpro Is my MicroHD broken for good

    After replacing the three badcapacitors this is what I have found out On vertical transponders - 22K stuck on, no motor movement (same as before starting) On horizontal transponders - 22K works, motor moves correctly (both were not functional before starting) But in the process I have somehow...

    GEOSATpro Is my MicroHD broken for good

    Tried that, it still makes no difference. F connector on the back of the box is tight, no broken joints. Opening it up I found three capacitors that are bulged out on the top pretty good, I ordered some and will replace those and see if that fixes anything. While checking again this time the...

    GEOSATpro Is my MicroHD broken for good

    the standard 10750 lnb which is not faulty, everything tests and works fine on another receiver. But I have no problems receiving with it stuck on, I just cant turn 22k off and no diseqc commands outputted from the microhd box no matter what lnb I use or configuration used, even bypassing...

    GEOSATpro Is my MicroHD broken for good

    My microHD has decided to no longer properly work. When testing it this is what I have found 22K is stuck on, will not switch off. Verified with a new 22k switch and also with one of those satellite meters that have LEDs for 22K on/off and for 13/18 volts. Voltage is correct and works properly...

    Bad 22khz switch or bad receiver

    After testing using a new known good coax jumper outside taking the receiver with me, a new 4.1 diseqc switch, and different LNB's, the MicroHD has officially died. Even loaded the latest firmware from the Geosatpro site and still no luck.Checked and made sure the LNB voltage is on but it no...

    Bad 22khz switch or bad receiver

    Either my MicroHD is in the process of dying or I have something really odd going on I had what seems to be a dead 8x1 diseqc switch, but today changed it out with a new 4x1 diseqc switch. It worked a short while then went to the point of only seeing H polarity and no V. Only one port was seen...

    worthless lazy scrappers

The next thing I see he other day is that rolling down the road on a trailer. I see he guy next day and asked him about...

    Has anyone got a signal greater than 85% signal strenth?

    Call me a liar, I have 85Q on my microhd on 89W on 3860H/30000. Didnt think it went that high

    Has anyone got a signal greater than 85% signal strenth?

    Contest: Enter to Win a Titanium Satellite C1W-PLL Wideband LNBF - Ends 3/17/2014

    I work outside most of the time and with all the snow, ice, and cold that has been around I am sick of it. There is a notepad full of projects that need to be done and until it gets warmer the list grows. I could spend a week outside and still not be done, not counting all the inside work, crawl...

    Upgrade for Satwork St 3816 Still Available?

    Last upgrade for it I believe was 5 years ago or longer. I have one here and its been retired with the exception for at the dish testing. Blind scan was WAY too slow and no S2 tuner pretty much makes it not too useful anymore. That and it gets buggy when you get a lot of channels stored in it I...

    Is Radio Shack hopeless for this hobby, or is it just mine?

    I used to go in RS all the time years ago and buy PCB boards for projects along with various components. Favorites was when they were clearancing out old stock so I could get LED's, switches, and other neat goodies for about 25 cents each. Now that store is just about worthless especially the...
