If you recall in the last episode my motor checked out bad and I ordered a new one. Only took 2 weeks to get here by snail mail (lost in a Pa. post office for 10 days). Anyway, put every thing back togeather and I could not lock on to 95W. :rant:Those of you who are lucky enough to live in a...

Got 95W. got new motor coming. Thanks for the info, Larry

Oh Ya. Been there, done that but not this time. I tore into the motor and the cable connection to the receiver has broken loose. I have to check out didgikey and see if I can find a replacemnet. I'm going to start looking for a new motor. Any suggestions where to look. Would like to support...

Thanks for the reply. I have the dish set to 95W and receive the 5 CCTV channels with a quality of 94%. The dish will not move when I search for 7W. The connection that goes from the motor to the receiver is toast. Larry

For once maybe I will luck out, LOL I'm going shopping! Thanks, Larry

Great suggestions:o Thanks, Larry

Thanks, Larry

Thanks for the suggestion but I did check that out. Larry

When I hook up the motor I loose everything. Perhaps I should just order a new motor. Any supporters out there that sell equipment or have one for sale, I would be interested.

I don't know what happend but I think the receiver connection came loose. I was hoping I could set it to one sat. and see a variety of channels and then next spring get a new motor and go from there.

If you have a stationary 36" dish and a invicom LNB what channel would you choose ?:confused:

Can't get it to lock on 97W. It bounces around even up to level 95 and then down to 77 but will not lock.

Thanks Iceberg. I will proceed with your instructions tomorrow. :)

Thank you so much !

Thanks, Love the cat.

I read everything that I can to learn what I'm doing. Thanks to members, especilly Iceberg, I got my dish set up. Now I need to find out how to find other channels.

Is there a place in this forum that has definitions of abbreviations, synonums, slang and everything else that a novice can go to figure out what everyone is talking about??:mad:

I have been up and down the ladder 20 times today and I finally got the right satallite. 5 CCTV channels. I did not remove the motor but bypassed it and the switch. This is probebly so basic to you but its a big step for me and I appreciate the help. Now you know what I am going to ask next? How...

OK, We got snow! I'm thinking of going a different route. I'm. thinking of taking the motor completely off and having a statinary dish. At least until I learn a little more about what I'm doing. Would I still point the dish to 95 west? How many channels would I be able to get? I would remove the...

Before I got your reply I did a blind scan. I havn't disconnected the switch yet but I have downloaded 377 channels and 2 radio. I can't find where they went?

OK, No snow. I followed your screen shots and my level is 89% and quality is 94-97%. I did the manual scan and nothing downloaded. I have a 4 way splitter going to the LNB and 4 cables 2 go to L and 2 go to C

I got the info! Its 27 deg out. Brrrr. The LNB is a invicom, quad polar legacy 4 o/p. The motor is a DMS International, DM910. I can,t find the settings you gave me but I am going to see if I can lock on to 95W. Thanks, Larry

Now that it is light out I will go get the info you requested. Iceberg, I believe you are right. My dish is dead south and I will move according to your instructions and get back to you. Thanks to everyone for the replys. I found the right place for help. Larry

Thanks for such a quick reply. I am in Bemidji and I believe the recomended longatude is 94W. The motor is a DM-10

First I would like to say hi . Just joined this forum to learn everything I can about FTA. I am 65 and retired and am starting this hobby because I now have the time. The only thing is I am not making much headway. I have a coolsat 6000 premium with a motorized 36" dish. I have downloaded about...
