Perhaps in the spring . Moved onto next hobby which was to double signal strength of one of the top rated long range HD antennas with my own rabbit mesh one . Signal through the forest between two mountains and across the valley went from 10-40 to 40-80 in time for FOOTBALL ;) Of course...

If I can stream it , I can download and burn it . Something like 5,000 hours of DvDs now ( around 6.5 hours a day for 2 years before reruns ) . Network shows are usually an hour delayed before going online . With places like Hulu or Tumtiki I found little need for paying for Netflix . After...

Yeah , I noticed the recievers search function found CCTV on several satellites but I can actually view it on only 95W . Not sure why search scan locked onto it on others . Considering what I download from the net for network programs , not alot to intrigue me for live coverage except probably...

Guessing I should wait until I have time to copy down all the settings before deleting . CCTV News 11780 on 97W , CCTV News 12780 on 99W , CCTVF 11780 on 97W , Time TV 11836 on 97W , CCTV-E 11780 on 97W , CCTV-E 12780 on 99W ect ect . Oddly I get other channels on those same satellites and...

Basically used First Strike to accurately ID satellite targeted and fine tune quality signal . When I plugged in reciever the LNB was set to 10600 with 22KHz on . Set satellite to match what satellite the First Strike ID'd , had motor store that sats position , then thumbed through the recievers...

Yeah , seemed weird here too . When I put in all the numbers suggested , I never got a Q-bar . Even tried to scan channels and nothing would lock . Thumbed through freq every 10-20 seconds until one did get Q-bar . I would set motors position for that satellite , then search . The funny...

Good to know ;) Some are KU only , some are C only and when it says both it means the satellite has some of each ;) Reciever says [ Supports SCPC & MCPC from C / Ku-band ] so dish and LNB ? motor only handles up to 1.2m and I love the motor ;) Perhaps something to mess with this fall

LOL , he came over checked it out and said both dish elevation , motor elevation ( latitude ) and azimuth were spot on :D Just said equipment is not able to pick up the transponders , polarities and syb rates everyone was providing . He traded his First Strike for my old putter he wanted...

Since ' pizza pan ' installer can install a SRTs then this should be pretty simplistic in comparison LOL Been motorizing buds since the early 80s when systems started at $3k ( pre-ku )

True . We even have sports bars complaining about local networks in dispute with cable or satellite companies over re-broadcast . ( local cable guy egging patrons on ) . I just invited them out to the truck where I had TV on the doghouse and antenna on the dash to watch the game . They were...

Actually achieved my first goal . Q-bar went 95-99 as well as S-bar . Locked onto some channels on G19 accidentally when I was thumbing through TPs . NOW that I KNOW reciever can recieve and dish is in right location I can have a installer come out . Know one that is long time FTA user that...

GREEN BAR MOVED HAPPY DANCE !!!! Still screwed up settings as I was just wanting to get the damn Q-bar to move . Got it long enough to scan channels though I doubt it is the right bird . Just happened while thumbing through TPs and sats . I very much doubt they are correct but with a 95...

This morning I got the corrected elevation . Improved squawk and S-bar , but still no twitch of the Q . It was neat how USAL moves when picking different biirds . I am guessing it is moving motor a set amount of degrees rather then actually finding the bird ? Decided to try to get a different...

Thanks , actually looking forward to tomorrow again . Workload has been piling up with so much time wasted on this so I am falling way behind . Considering dish was so high above azimuth I doubt its squawking on any equatorial bird . Considering angle to G19 from here but with that incorrect...

Thank you so much WOOOHOOO ! FINALLY something NEW to try ;) ( I knew pics were worth 1000 word essay comments LOL ) So using current measuring device and contact points pictured put it at 9.7 degree ;) To dark now and brought in TV and receiver incase of rain , but something to try tomorrow...

NP , I go by #1 reading on elevation gauge ( rarely accurate ) , #2 My personal guage for angles used when running transit stuff ( but perhaps not right points on dish to check angle with straight edge ? ) and #3 which is using S bar on reciever and OTM 100 orbital tracker to fine tune . With...

Yeah , been out with small TV and receiver next to dish since Wednesday . Before adding motor it was directly on that pole . Not sure you see level I used to make sure it was plume . Before mounting on post I actually used compass on post marking every 5 degrees . Also used my transit to put...

Understandable Anole ;) I can basically turn off motor then either pivot entire dish on motor tube which is angled to follow azimuth or loosen bracket on motor attached to pole to pivot entire assembly both ways motor remains at 0' . That is fine and good if aligning dish for Name: 116.8W...

Cool ! Tech said never put on USAL , never touch 22KHZ setting which is off , freq must be on 11991 ONLY for 97W satellite or it voids the return policy on the beginner $115 FTA system . Probably just add it to the stack of RCA DP 311 receivers I have laying around as it is not worth the return...

Yeah , it has a DiSEqC H-H Motor SG-2100 using DiSEqC 1.2 to move from Motek Electric Corp . I originally aligned it on this bird Name: 116.8W SATMEX 5 Elevation: 35.0° Azimuth (true): 180.0° Azimuth (magn.): 164.9° LNB Skew [?]: -0.0° making sure motor was at dead center meaning...

Does Q take longer to lock the S ? Actually was on Vert . Another person suggested Horz SR is defaulted on 22000 TP has been 11991 . 22 windowed will not function with universal LNB so could not use it . Perhaps Q bar takes several minutes compared to 5-10 seconds of S-bar . Getting over...

Settings Sat=97W Freq=11991 Polarity = hz 22=off multi=off LNB=universal 1 symbol=22000 LNB power=on S-bar= 80 to 99 Q-bar= 0

No problem , still plugging away at it . Satellite Receiver CNX-Nano features: 1 years Warranty USB 2.0 Port on Front Panel. Fully MPEG-2 & DVB Compliant Supports EPG, PIG Supports SCPC & MCPC from C / Ku-band DiSEqC 1.0, 1.2 and USALS Compatible 1 LNB Input Tuner with Loop Through IF...

No such luck . Message box [ Cannot use 22 tone with this LNB ] . But I did try all other LNBs listed in system with 22 on and with 22 off . S-bar would change , some 0 , some 70s , original at 80-99 . But Q-bar still 0 . Any other way to test Q-bar ???

Thanks Doug ;) I will give it a shot . It seems like everything on the dish is correct and with such a loud bird I was hoping to make the Q-bar move once ;)
