    Satellite and Transponder for ESPN, ESPNews, ESPN2

    I am having an issue with signal on these 3 channels. 206,207, 209 This is a SWM setup. I check the strength meter for tuner 1 and 2 and they are squawking 94 and 95. I need to know what satellite and what transponder these are on so that I can peak the dish on those spots. Thanks for any...

    New dish mover recommendations

    Guys, my second Uniden Supra looks like it's motor outputs have died. I'd love to find another as I have used this receiver for so long, I can run it blindfolded. That might be hard though. There is one on ebay but, all it says it that it powers up. My other two Supras power up. That does not...

    C band motor output question

    Guys, I have a uniden supra. I recently got an actuator error. I unhooked the dish and took my multimeter and measured the output voltage while holding down the respective east or west buttons. It goes to about 35.2 volts for a second then drops out. Is this the way it's supposed to operate...

    Actuator help

    Hey guys, I need a new actuator. My old 24" inch superjack finally gave out. I have a 10 ft. mesh C and KU dish. It's not heavy. I use a Uniden Supra as the dish mover. I'd like some advice as to what Actuator I should go with and why? My main concerns are accuracy and durability. For...

    Gal 18 @ 123*W KU

    Does anyone know if icebergs tr. (G18 AKA G10)-12114 V 4580 ) is hot for this sat? For that matter does anyone have any hot KU transponders I can try for Gal 18? I can't seem to get any Ku off that bird. It's only that bird though. C band is strong. I used to be able to get it when it had all...

    Can anyone tell me what Quality level they have currently

    Can anyone tell me what their quality % is on the Data transponder on AMC 15 at 105 W right now? Also if it's not too much trouble, ONN on H2 11733 H 6616 I have both the Azbox and Pansat 9200. I only mention that because from what I've read the Vantage has a much more sensitive tuner so...

    harmony 890

    Has anyone used the harmony remotes with their FTA equipment? Specifically the 890? I know alot of universal remotes are so limited in what they control that it's not practical to use them with sat receivers. I hate the remote clutter but, if it doesn't control everything you need then, I...

    Help troubleshooting actuator

    First let me explain the problem the best I can. A couple of days before Christmas we were due to have some freezing rain. I wanted my dish on Galaxy 19 for the weekend so I thought to myself, I better move this over there now in case the actuator gets froze up from the rain. The ice didn't...

    Can't connect to Azbox

    I had the dreaded stuck at loading problem tonight. Putting in the USB and powering up to load wasn't working. I ended up finding an emergency procedure scouring google. It was here by Acwxradar. I did a flash memory format or something to that effect. It's one of the options the Az gives you...

    Viewsat Max HD

    I tried to reply to a thread about this box but, it said it was over 328 days old so I couldn't reply. I wanted to ask if this thing actually received any DVBS-2 signals? I see a little graphic someone made that says it will but, I haven't heard of anyone that has one and is getting S2

    Onn quality tonight?

    I was wondering what you guys are getting tonight on ONN? I just checked it because I wanted to blind scan H2. I always stop on that channel to zero my bud in before doing a blind scan. Some nights it's booming and some it's very weak for me.

    Pansat 9200 software upgrade question

    I've had my 9200 for about 6 months. When I got it, it had the most up to date software from pansat so, I haven't changed it. Now on Pansats site there is a software labeled "remote access improvement" When I click on that it takes me to a page with a bunch of their receiver models listed. I...

    Accuracy of actuator pulse count sensors on KU

    My equipment list is in my sig line. I was wondering what you guys with a big dish and KU experience for accuracy on KU when changing satellites? Often times I have to tap the east or west button after landing at a satellite. This is on KU only. It lands on the C band satellite very reliably...

    Troubleshooting help please

    I've recently had my signal level on H2 at 74*W go way down. ONN is only about 30%. I've waited a few days to see if it's weather related. I also had asked around here if anyone else was experiencing it. That thread is here...

    Chicago WCIU problem

    I'm about 60 miles south of Chicago. WCIU channel 26 is causing me breakup even with a signal strength of 73. The TV is a Pioneer 5080. It's only this channel. Usually the TV holds a pic down to around 30 quality. It just started doing this real bad in the last couple of days. All other channels...

    Pansat 9200 HD question

    Ok, I've been playing around trying to figure out how to sort the satellite list on the left side, under antenna setup. I can't find how to do it. I want it sorted alphabetically. Right now it seems like they are all over the place.

    Antenna height opinions?

    I'm not on a mountain, not in a valley. I was wondering for the average terrain would an antenna react much differently at say 15 feet as compared to 30? Also would being located near the incoming electrical supply bother the reception? What is the optimum practical height? I understand that...

    AMC 16 at 85* W

    Can anyone confirm if the transponder in Icebergs post is still active? I can't find this sat. 85 (AMC2)-12194 H 3978 If not any active transponder would be great. Thanks:)

    signal quality on ONN

    Up until a few days ago I could hit high 90s to occasionally 100 on ONN on Gal. 17 I heard that horizons 2 was taking it's place and Gal. 17 was moving to take the place of Gal. 11 Since then about the best signal I get from ONN is 50. I can't get any signal on G10R. Has anyone else...

    I asked pansat about 4:2:2

    I asked if there were any plans for a HD receiver that did 4:2:2 and when pvr would be enabled on the 9200 HD. This is their response Dear customer,The format you mentioned does not have any free programming available. Once free programming is available our receiver should in turn be able to...
