    Anyone else having lousy luck with motors?

    Brian, you may be thinking of me. from the archives: Another potential player in this space is a product known as the “Maestro Jack.” Brian of SatelliteAV was kind enough to allow me to test one of these products that was apparently under evaluation/consideration by his company. Initially it...

    Anyone else having lousy luck with motors?

    My SG2100 has been in use since 2005 (or 2006?). The bracket isn't very strong and it may be slipping a bit but it is still working. Moving a Winegard DS-2076 with multi LNBs the whole time. Not the biggest Ku dish but it isn't all that light....

    How did you get into Ham Radio?

    My father was in the Signal Corps in WWII. When I was young I would play with some of his old kits he had (Allied Knight kit 10 in 1 with vacuum tubes, etc.). That led to becoming an SWLer and a couple school buddies and I got the itch and our licenses when we were teenagers. What a great hobby!

    backup mine PS3

    Original PS3's hard hardware to emulate PS2's. The software had support for it and it has been carried forward. It seems there has been renewed interest in PS2 compatibility so I suspect they have just left it in from the early PS3 days and you will potentially see more use for it.

    TTX Button?

    Thanks Brian and primestar31! I now see the Teletext support under the OSD setting menu. I hadn't noticed that before. I get a nice black rectangle on top of the video with a number 100 in the upper left hand corner when I activiate it,so I would concur with Brian, the flag is on but no text...

    TTX Button?

    Watching a feed on AMC15 (105 West). Its scanning in 11733 V 6111 with FEC of 3/4 and PIDS if V308/A256/P8190. It's DVB-S and says its 1080i-60 (odd with 11733 V 6111). However, when I hit the info button on the microHD it doesn't show the "HD" indicator. It does show EPG and TTX. I can't...

    Eliminating the SG2100 motor's pass-thru?

    Sorry I am a little confused. Is the worry the load the motor places on the receiver or signal loss of the LNB signal passing through the motor connection? Does the 2100 attenuate the signal more than a diplexer would? I haven't thought about this very deeply but would have thought that both...

    These guys have kind of gotten lost over the years but so much innovation of the early days came from this company and its early employees. They were amazing.....

    What you think of my new Avatar?

    Congrats on the new rig! It looks real nice. I have always liked Kenwood gear since they entered the Ham market in what I recall was the early '70s. ....KQ6BR

    Internet Explorer Issues

    I had trouble with the site and IE 8 as well. I used Firefox for a while instead but IE 9 has been working fine it seems.

    First FTA receiver?

    My first receiver was a black Coolsat 4000 Pro purchased (I think) in 2005. I bought it from a local electronics surplus store that had one on display aimed at the FTA on 123 West at the time. I didn't know much about FTA at the time. I bought a package with a DSR2076 dish, SG2100 mover and a...

    U-verse for Internet and phone - good idea?

    To be clear, I think the phone/internet/tv services gets different hardware for in the house than just the phone and internet customers. The old 2-wire wireless router for internet and phone will drop attached devices requiring periodic reboots. It also is only 802.11g and it is very hard if...

    App for kindle fire

    The site looks good and seems to work well when accessed by Silk on the Fire. Have you tried to "side-load" the app? You can adjust a setting on the Fire to install apps from other sources.

    Status of C-Band 95W tp24?

    Both of you answered my questions. When I went back to troubleshoot all channels were live so I was confused. The fact that they black out at times likely explains what happened to me. Thanks to both of you for your answers!
