    Will my old coolsat 4000 receiver work on rtv on amc9 ?

    Hi Guys, I just wanted to thank you again. I got my dish pointed and locked on amc9. My old coolsat didn't have 83west on the satellite list so I just added it and used the frequency 11735 H, and put the symbol rate on 04444. Works like a charm. My kids are enjoying retro tv and I am happy...

    A question about transponders, can someone explain?

    Larry, the only point I was trying to make with the statement, Quote: So I would actually be on amc5 with the channel I want, but with the satellite receiver thinking it is on IA5. was that the Channels are associated with the tp/sr rather than the actual satellites. For example, I...

    A question about transponders, can someone explain?

    I am a little confused on the transponder deal. Take my coolsat for example. The satellites I have to choose from have many different TPs already programed in, however when I get tp #(1) to come in with a super high quality signal, tp #2 reads nothing or very little in the quality level. So when...

    Okay, I found my southern sat. Now how do I confige the motor?

    Got USALS? not sure what that means, but i think the answer is no. I have read my manual for my equipment and there is no mention. So do I start out with my motor on true south or my southern most sat, amc5(zipcode 26149)?

    Sat Finder Question

    The traxis receiver is on, I can feel the juice coming from the wire as well, the pole is plum, the motor is out of the loop for now. Should the lites on the meter glow, I beleive they indicate voltage.13-18v? When should these lights come on? Thanks Charles
