    How to make BUD NOT motorize

    Yes it will look like the dish is changing elevations when moving east or west, but technically its not. Once your elevation is set for due south, you won't have to ever adjust it unless you are off. Once that is set, and you scan for satellites east or west, the dish will SEEM like its going...

    How to make BUD NOT motorize

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always read that your elevation is based on due south settings, and the dish will move east and west based on the elevation you've set. If you set the elevation on a satellite that is not due south then your east and west arc movement will be based on...

    If the actuator is bad, then 1) you will hear the motor turning in the actuator arm but the shaft will not go in or out, causing the dish to not move. 2) your connections inside the end casing of the actuator may have rusted if water got into it causing a short (not very likely, but it can...

    C band and manhattan skyline 1000

    I can barely get AMC 7, but I did set it with some scambled channels as a reference point. Still no channels on the Manhattan. Looping out to GI from the manhattan (I assume) is just like splitting it. Since I can get analog channles very clear looping from lnb to manhattan to GI, I assume...

    C band and manhattan skyline 1000

    I am a newbie with FTA and for about 2 weeks now, I've been reading like crazy trying to suck up everything about FTA and DVB. I have had a C-band since the early 90's, and just decided to dust off the equipment and see what this FTA thing is all about. I decided before I spend tons of money...
