Bingo. 3570 Worked! It's now reset to 0000. Thank you.

A glitch in the power supply for the fan in our 722k caused some strange reactions including picture issues and even shutting down due to overheating. Being unable to source the power problem, I wired the fan to a good 12V internal source through a resistor to keep the fan noise at an...

Hello all. I bought a fairly nice Viewsat VS 2000 Ultra used off of fleabay and quickly found that the pin code had been changed during its previous life. So far, there has been no response from the seller, so is there a way to reset the pin back to the factory standard 0000? Thanks. 998ccc

I suppose that is exactly what happened and didn't even consider Galaxy 17 since it is a C-band bird. No C-band is possible here due to antenna restrictions, and I am already tempting the gods with an HF dipole and VHF/UHF sticks on the roof. Perhaps an investment in oleanders would provide...

Regarding editing sats and TP's: Yes, that is where I want to go next. One post mentioned Nimiq at 91W which I cannot find on my linear LNB (assuming this is a receiver setting issue). I can find it with a circular LNB but no circular FTA TP's there to my knowledge. I'll dig into the archives...

Last week, I went through the setup again and lost my birds using USALS. It seems to be 3 degrees or so off, so I reset to my original marks on the mast, motor and dish and have all the birds again using diseqc. The arc "seems" to be fine just as it was in the beginning. From my location in...

OK. It looks like going back to square one is in order. I do appreciate the info and will research the archives. Thanks! 998ccc

Radar: Thanks ever so much for the info; this has been a steep learning curve over the past week or so. At this point, I do not understand what SID, VPID and APID is or ”SR 3978KS/s” for that matter. Can you fill me in? I could not find transponder "TP 11991HMz". In fact, I did not realize...

Radar, thanks for the response. I'll start from the beginning: The system is Ku; no C band here due to CC&R's. The dish is an offset 36" Pansat AZ900X mounted on a 2" tubular mast set 30" into the ground in concrete and plumbed by a good level. I used a compass to find magnetic North; true...

OK guys, this is day three of FTA. I am a bit confused about what I am finding--it's sort of like searching out shortwave dx radio stations as a kid. While trying to lock into the mainstream sats, I am finding signals that the receiver (Pansat 9500HDX) does not identify but will lock onto...

Failing to look for transponders is where I was falling down before, coupled with the fact that my little sat finder meter did not react to the relatively low-powered birds. I pretty much had the motor dialed in earlier today looking at the strong signal birds. So with the advice of this...

Great advice! I put the linear LNB back in and set the receiver to SES-1. Moving the dish, I found a sparkly signal, skewed the LNB, and I am now watching the History Channel. It's a start!! Thanks! Russ

Hello all. My first post. I just installed my first KU FTA system with 36" motorized dish. The dish was dented in transit, but I was able to remove the dent to the point where it is essentially gone. Given that, using the linear LNBF supplied with the package, I get zero signal on my little...
