Yes, your correct, no terrestrial tv signal available, no cell phone signal available. Up until about a year ago my only internet was 24K dial up. Then they ran fiber optic up the mountain. Now I have super fast internet, so fast I have to oil my computer each day. Back to FTA, last summer I...

I did not realize a 1.2m dish size could make the difference I need/want. Thank You...good job for spring, deep snow and ice right now adk46er

Thanks to all who replied. I tried looking for LPB on 99W. No Joy. I used to get a beautiful picture on LPB 87W, then the quality/strength started to go down. Finally to nothing, no lock. For me, FTA is not a hobby, but my sole means of TV unless you want to pay big bucks and subscribe to...

I used to watch PBS on 87w LPB. LPB no longer has a signal. Other transponders on 87w are fine. I can not receive PBS on 125w due to the forest. Is there any other bird where I can find PBS aedk46r

Yes, I do remember back in the day when I bought mine, it seemed almost weekly new versions of firmware were popping up. My firmware is as shipped, I did not want to take a chance upgrading with some unknown firmware. As you suggest with motor issues may be the reason for so many versions of...

Brian; You win the GOLD STAR !!! 1 Slave is now cloned to my Master and running perfect ! I downloaded all files from the Master Openbox S9 to a memory stick. Before shutting down the Master, I drove the dish to 87W, my lowest Sat. I then hooked up Slave 1, Openbox S9 and clicked the button...

Brian…….THANK YOU ! I have learned a lot since my last post before dinner. On wikipedia, search USALS. Its all software driven in the receiver and maybe some at the motor. STAM LABS in Italy are makers of USALS motors and require certification testing to legally carry the USALS logo (My S9’s...

A33; A33 After dinner, I rechecked once again. Selecting DISEQC 1.2, no buttons come up at all. I may be onto the answer, see my reply to Brian adk46er

further, if I do select diseqc 1.2 for motor control, STILL no goto button or control shows up ????? adk46er

All the same software version, bought all 3 new together. Excuse me, your last paragraph leads me to believeI did not explain the problem well. Lets try this. Using the Master Receiver, I bring the dish to my low sat which is 87W. The Master Receiver is then removed. A slave plugged n and...

Brian, thanks for the reply. Yes, the Lat/Lon are absolute correct. The Master works as it should. The slaves, testing them one at a time, dont seem to know where to drive the dish Thank You adk46er

A33; Attached is a screen shot of the Motor control page menu on the Openbox S9. All three, 2 slave and one master open box receivers are identical. Yes USALS is selected as motor control on all three receivers. My Lat/lon is set correct. The 3 Openbox S9 receivers were purchased at the...

A33, thanks for the reply. No I have not done a Goto reference or zero command. Are you suggesting the original Rec even with problems still drives the dish to all selected Stats, But the swapped slaves dont have that zero or reference and thus dont know where to drive the dish ? I guess...

Yes, Lat/Lon set

I guess one could say I am a new member. Quite a few years ago I was a member and active in FTA discussions. Then I got transferred out of the country, where I have been for quite a few years. I am now back home, retired, and of course have a problem with FTA…..I am stuck, I come to you for...
