What is the main difference between the Amiko D-8/1 and Geosatpro GDSW81 DiSeqc switches, besides the 50 cents difference at Ebay.

Fat Air, I did not mean to actually said simultaneously, I meant to say with the setup that I have now. A cluster of Ku band LNBF satellites(4) using the 4x1 DiSeqc and a single C band satellite dish using a 22khz inline with the 4x1 DiSeqc. It sure would be nice if we could receive both Ku...

Okay, after spending some time trying to make this work, I came to the conclusion that the best thing to do is to invest in the 8x1 DiSeqc switch mentioned by A Raine. Tried every of the above suggestions with no good results. Even though 30W is not quite coming in strong because of the partial...

Using a 1.2M Ku dish with a home made bracket that have 3 LNBs, and a 1M dish with 1 LNB, 1 LNB on a C dish giving me a total of 5 LNBs and five viewable sattelites. Satellites. DiSeqc 97W...

The next door neighbor tree(s) are about 100' from my property, pine trees and they are over 75' tall, there use to be an opening between them, but one of them sprouted more limbs, no LOS, have to relocate the pole. My dish is already located as far away as possible from the offending tree.

Was receiving 30W using a Superdish for quite a while, very good reception in the high 70%. Now having problems, tree branches on the next door neighbor grown out too big, blocking LOS. Might have to relocate the dish.

polgyver, Ingenious idea, I am always amazed on all of your input and ideas that you have offered to the forum. Just wondering, how moist is the ground where you live in Toronto, right here where I live in this part of Louisiana, just digging about a foot and a half, you will come across some...

Having a hard time in getting the Cozi Channel, what is the now recommended Skew for this satellite?. The signal is bouncing between 50% and 70% but the beach channels are the only ones coming in and nothing else. Off subject, what is the new format to send and download pictures to the forum...

Sorry for not taking any pictures. At the bottom, and Inside of the push rod there is a very flimsy bearing assembly, this bearing is of a sandwich type, holding ball bearings inbetween two plates. The bearing is located close to the electronic box that contains the motor gears. As the motor...

Hello good people, I have just given my Powermax 24 a new lease on life. The problem was not with the plastic nut, but the bearing that keeps the inner shaft centered. The bearing discentegrated spilling the ball bearings out. The inner screw that pushes the rod shaft in and out, retained the...

Magic Static, Thanks for the reply. What name brand actuator would you recommend?

Today my Powermax24 actuator shaft became disengaged and Is free moving by hand in the extending direction. It is resting at 78W, and does not move the dish in either direction. Has anyone experienced this problem with their actuator and is this hard to fix?. Any advice or help is...

I want to move my dish with this great product

dan, are you receiving a good signal with that C band lnbf, and what are the degree spacing of the satellites that are viewable. Thanks.

I know that diplexers are use with OTA and Satellite systems setup. Is this possible, an OTA antenna with a splitters and coaxes for feeding two Televisions, using two diplexers just like as in a Satellite OTA setup, and using the single internet coax to feed both the computer modem and one of...

The Ku and the C dish are connected thru a Gecen SW-03/P switch when normally connected to the microHD. At the present the C dish is connected straight to the microhd...Will rework the setup to follow Magic Static suggestion of assigning the even and odd numbers on the different bands. Will...

After posting yesterday, went and scanned all of the FTA Ku satellites using USALS as well as Diseqc modes. Having conflicting problems when using the Gbox when scanning for the C band satellites. Used the same position numbers and names for both band. MY REAL Question is: Should I assign the...

I would like to use the Diseqc function for saving the Ku and C satellites. What is the recommended method for doing this. Do I save all the Ku band satellites first, and then come Back and save all the C band satellites... Since the same Diseqc position numbers can be used and assigned for...

Have searched Lyngsat and and a few other websites for an up to date North American satellite channel list with good Tps with no good results...Does anyone have, a good satellite list, and that is willing to share with the members. My satellite channel and Tp list is so corrupted and out of...

Just checked it out, it is looking good.

Came across two "Gecen" SW-03/P 0/22Khz controlled switches, and the system is responding much better. The SW21 switch was working, but some times I had to turn the receiver off and on for the channels to come back on. When using the SW21 switch, the signal quality seem to be much better than...

Sorry for not responding sooner. I think that the problem was caused mostly by a bad coax connection... My system is not too complicated, The six foot dish is being moved by a Powermax PMA24 which is powered by a Gbox, and using a WSI ESX242 LNBF... The three foot dish is moved by a GeoSat...

Recleaned all the coax connections obtained better results with the signal strenghth, but still flaky at times. Also found out that the Gbox number counts were slightly off on the C band dish. Will reconnect both dishes to the switches and see if this is working as it should using the motor for...

The cable seems alright, but will have to change it with another, to see if this correct the problem. Will do of first thing tomorrow morning.
